Summary

This quote emphasizes that wisdom, unlike information or knowledge, is not something that can be stored or preserved externally. It suggests that wisdom is a subjective and experiential understanding that is unique to individuals and can only be passed down through oral tradition or personal interactions. As each generation passes, their accumulated wisdom is lost if not shared and transmitted to future generations. This highlights the importance of actively seeking and sharing wisdom to prevent it from perishing and being forgotten.

Too many people in the American media have lost any concept

Too many people in the American media have lost any concept of loyalty to their country -- if they even consider it their country, rather than just their residence.Yeah, that's right, I'm playing the patriotism card. But not the way you think.Our country is at war. And it's a war in which victory absolutely depends on the Muslim world perceiving it as a war between the U.S and its allies on one side, and fanatical murderous terrorists on the other.If it is ever perceived as a war against Islam, then we have lost. The world has lost.So during such a difficult time, even people who think the Iraq War or even the whole war on terror is a horrible mistake still have an obligation of loyalty to the nation that offers them protection, prosperity, and freedom.Copyright
