Black is OK! [antikvár]

Is BLACK OK? Straightforward Answers to Shaky Questions Are You prejudiced in any way, dear reader? Of course You are! Don't be ashamed of it - who isn't? Who isn't shackied by dogmas, beliefs, wrong reflexes, routine? Those who deny it are liars - or saints. But, as saints make the tiniest minority in the world, we, sinful humans would rather be honest to ourselves - and each other. There's no point in blaming one another; although we are so various, still we are so similar in our imperfection: frail mortals. Shall we then accept our limits with resignation, and despair of our pretensions to change, to make things change, to make things better? No way! Why, there's nothing as sure on earth as change! It's up to us if we become merely spectators of what's going on, or active participants, moulders, con-trollers of 'the way of the world'. nOh no! Here comes the usual rubbish about world-redemption and the meaning of life"-guesses the reader who has already had quite a few dis-appointments, and lost faith in empty phrases and flowers of rhetoric. However, lies are not the faults of words, but of those who distort and misuse them. Or is there a single word, a single noble, holy ideál, in whose name no villainy has ever been committed? So shall we stop believing in anything, shall we banish our most beautiful words? Only over my dead body! Re- gardless of all this: YES, to redeem the world, YES, to continue the work of Creation, YES, to fight against super-stition, darkness, ready-made panels substituting for thought, YES, to seek truth, this can be our only goal. We can't be satisfied with anything less than that. Sounds pretty pathetic, doesn't it, buddy? Think what You please, gentle reader, but do believe me that You are; alsó shaping what is going to be reality tomorrow. Creation didn't end on the sixth day, everybody can make his contribution at his own place. We, chess-players of the Globe, seek truth on the board. Evolution requires respect for eternal values and unbiased, matter-of-fact observation of actual phenomena. Alas for the one who can't get rid of the clog of prejudice, the whirl of worthless fashion! It's my destiny to make my contribution to the quest for ehess truth by fighting 'apartheid', that is, the prejudice in connection with the col-ours of the pieces. It is this 'BLACK Is OK' spirit that guides me and my friends when we set off our magaziné, edit other publications, organize tour-naments, courses. In order to have reál blessing on our work, though, we need Your benevolent, but critical attention. Please jóin us, after all: CENS UNA SUMUS
