What is a Penpal?
A penpal is a person with whom one becomes friendly by exchanging letters, especially someone in a foreign country whom one has never met.
With a penpal, you open to someone that you don't know, and you learn to know him for who he is. It is a communication from soul to soul, stripped of all the superficial.
Who are we?
We are a community where people come together to exchange, to write to each other. On Penpal-online, we put an emphasis on respect and tolerance. It is not about all having the same opinions, but on the contrary to meet people with different ones and to listen to their stories, to keep an open mind on their way of thinking. That is how we grow, and that is how we improve as an individual.
Quote of the Day
"One should as a rule respect public opinion in so far as is necessary to avoid starvation and to keep out of prison, but anything that goes beyond this is voluntary submission to an unnecessary tyranny, and is likely to interfere with happiness in all kinds of ways." - Bertrand Russell
