This message is short, but hopefully resonates.
IF any one were to have a dinner, and invite the following for a conversation:
Einstein, Socrates, the pharoah Ramses, Confucius, Simon Bolivar, Martin Luther King, Jr., Napoleon, Shakespeare, and Nelson Mandella
Which topic could you possibly talk about to all of them together without teaching them anything about the modern world? What could you speak about so they understood your positions and influences?
Hydrogen? Social Justice? Communism? Genetic engineering?
NO ! As far as I can think, we can talk about, responsibility, simple mechanics, ideas of community, ideas of the differences of men and women, cute babies, and DEATH and RELIGION.
These things are UNIVERSAL, AGELESS
But it is not what we seem to talk about these days, we seem to talk about things we love which are things that come and go through the ages.
