RE: Thoughts on financial crisis and people’s mentality inspired by a ‘trendy’ restaurant
I see that, but the thing is we should get more to act conciously, a swallow alone can't bring spring (a greek saying). I have always believed in education (not the organised brainwashing(?) system), education in humanitarian values. At univerity we were taught that our job needs patience and persistence, there are times when you get disappointed and have to accept reality the way it, but this cannot stop me from feeling sad about it...
"a swallow alone can't bring spring (a greek saying)"
I like that!!!
I wish that I could read the original Greek of some phrases I have only read in English. I'll bet there are more meaningfull nuances than the ones I feel in even translated versions:
“For many are called, but few are chosen” Matthew 22:14
"Let the dead bury the dead" (Luke 9:60)
p.s. Just so @trumpman does not get upset, let me say that I know that all organized religions have become corrupted to a more or lesser degree.
Hey, why should I get upset?!
I don't know, somehow I just thought you would be intolerant of discussing stuff that can't be pinned down to scientific "facts" and scientific establishment approved methods of investigation.
I am glad to be proven wrong!!
I believe you'll need some greek language lessons in order to appreciate the true meaning of a saying...
It's not the religions, it's the people in charge (just as I said before, where there is power and wealth corruption is almost 100% certain.
