Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of seeking advice from both the past and the present.

Simultaneously, consulting the latter time allows individuals to adapt to the current context and make choices that are most suitable for the present circumstances. Incorporating perspectives from both eras enables a balanced and informed decision-making process, combining historical knowledge with a contemporary understanding of the world.
