Human nature. -In spite of the ‘miracles’ of science there’s A LOT humanity does not know. “There are know unknowns and unknown unknowns” D.R. -In a few billion years our sun will extinguish and all remaining life on space rock Earth will perish. All material concerns are temporary. Sorry. -Four thousand years of good advice suggests that the most interesting & meaningful stage of life starts when we begin to Know Thyself. Now in mid-life I’m starting to suspect there is some truth to this. Happy holidays everyone!
