A truly powerful passage from the classical ancient thought on training the appreciation of the beauty and then strength to the reflection of how these principles are applicable today, with personal experiences.

Do we have a soul? We have a body like the rest of the animals but they are not like us. Your musings are a very human endeavor which seem can only come from a human animal. Does this mean you have a soul? Does any other animal take such beautiful pictures as you? Obviously you are more than a body, though we do not know exactly what the soul is. We do not even know what life is. Yet, we are alive,in spite of our ignorance and you, my friend are beautifully alive. You have an alive sou which God surely loves.

"We must fight the ease of accessing information and press on towards wisdom" - that really hits home. It is a fight! What an honest exploration of our human condition today, and wise inputs from antiquity.
