I love history. And I love when someone shines a light on a view of history I had not appreciated. The point you make that in literature of the past “There’s not even a hint that the amount of chairs might multiply, or that new positions might be created, that wealth might somehow grow, that something that’s small today might be larger tomorrow. “ Thank you for the new idea to ponder.
While modern society thinks they control fate, we have hidden birth, serious illness and death. Instead we worship money, youth and ultra fitness. We ignore the poor and the suffering. I think the belief that we can change includes the belief that to do so means stepping over (and perhaps on) other people.
Yes, I’m glad most of us are not in a fixed society with little hope for change. Although perhaps someone in North Korea might feel differently. I have immense gratitude that I have the freedom to change, grow, pursue new horizons.
Good one. Thank you.
Thank you for kind words.
