I Will Listen On One Condition

Facts have become as perishable as opinions. This holds true even of scientific facts. Only the human condition has remained timeless.--Eric Hoffer in Before the Sabbath

If we were able to travel back in time and have a conversation with the wisest of antiquity, a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet would not get very far.

But if we were to solicit their thoughts on the question of how to live we would find that these sages were our contemporaries.

In our absurd age, such society can still be found in books. To keep company with the noblest men and women of history is to sit humbly at the gate of Wisdom and to commune in spirit with those who have gone before us.
