For |this reason, we'll skip back a couple of thousand years and find jout just how much originality is expressed by modern writers. “We are mad, not only individu- ally, but nationally. We check man- jslaughter and isolated murders; |but what of war and the much jvaunted crime of slaughtering whole peoples?” The above quotation sounds like it might have been snitched from a modern newspaper editorial, ‘coesn’t it? Well,a guy by the jname of Seneca who lived from \8 B. C. to 65 A. D. first expressed that opinion. And probably if we had better records, we'd find that Seneca committed plagiarism when he wrote them! What kina of reading do you find relaxing as well as stinulating?

Cun- of the matter is that I like to get ‘three or four books started togeth- ,er—switching from one to the other, ‘after thirty or forty minutes read- ing in each. Such a method seems' jto rest the mind. The ancient writers are the ones who really give a guy a pick-up though. When you read their max- ims, satires, and moral essays, you discover that the world hasn’t changed too much except mechan- ically and the mistakes that you make today have been made and rectified by other men thousands of years before your time. Such knowledge sort of provides an in- cel ; : ; fics,” “The better I see and ap- prove, the worse I follow.” See what I mean when I say that the troubles which plague us are nothing new? How many. times have you known the right course to pursue and somenow landed up on the wrong path? The fact that others, thousands of years before our time, have suffered from the same trouble doesn’t justify our wrongness but the knowledge does have a tendency to give us courage to beat the same problems we know others have conquered be- fore us.

DIAL 2-6031 Thucydides did over four hundred years before Christ. He said: “Because in the administration, it hath respect not to the few but to the multitude, our form of gov- ernment is called democracy. Wherein there is not only an equal- ity amongst all men in point of law for their, private controversies, but in election to public offices we consider neither class nor rank, ibut each man is preferred accord- ing to his virtue or to the esteem in which he is held for some spe- cial excellence; nor is anyone put back even through poverty, be- cause of the obscurity of his per- service to the commonwealth.” Perhaps we. had better end this column with a few words from Sen- eca which might provide a stepping stone toward meditation: “Men do not care how nobly they live, but only how long, al- though it is within the reach of every man to live nobly, but with- in no man’s power to live long.
