It takes an endless amount of history to make even a little

Summary

This quote suggests that the creation of traditions requires a significant accumulation of historical events and practices over time. Traditions are not easily established but require a lengthy and continuous process of development. It implies that traditions cannot simply emerge out of thin air or be formed quickly; they must be rooted in a long and complex history to hold significance and meaning. Thus, the quote highlights the deep historical foundation that is needed to establish and maintain cultural, social, or ritualistic traditions.

We have bigger houses but smaller families: We have more degrees but less sense;more knowledge but less judgements;more experts but more problems;more medicines, but less healthiness.We've been all the way to the moon and back,but we have trouble crossing the streetto meet the new neighbour.We build more computersto hold more information,to produce more copies than ever,but we have less communication.We have become long on quantitybut short on quality.These are times of fast foods,but slow digestion;tall man, but short character;steep profits, but shallow relationships.It is time when there is much in the windowbut nothing in the room.
