The Path We Travel


Two farmers are talking about religion.  They are debating over their respective faiths.  As the discussion turned into an argument one turned to his elder and asks, “Gramps, who is right?  Which religion is the right one?”
“Well, there are three ways to get from here to the cotton gin,” he said.  “You can go over the big hill.  That’s shorter but is a powerful climb.  The next way is to go around the east side.  It is not too far but tougher than tarnation.  Or you can go the west side, which is the longest way but the easiest to travel.
But, you know, when you finally get there the gin man doesn’t ask how you got there.  He just asks, “How’s your cotton?” –LA Times

“Between 1305 and the early 1800’s. the House of Taxis ran a form of pony express service all over Europe….   Its couriers clad in blue and silver uniforms, crisscrossed the continent carrying messages between princes and generals, merchants and money lenders.” –Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave We may think we are the first generation consumed by rapid communication but we are not.   Throughout our history it has been a priority. Of course, now in the 21 st century we must ask: are we better or worse for it?
