Jewish Logic

There is a story of three fellows who are considering what they would want to do if the doctor told each one that he had six months to live. The first fellow says, “If my doctor said I had only six months to live, the first thing I would do would be to liquidate my business, withdraw my savings, and have the biggest fling on the French Riviera you ever saw. I’d play roulette, eat like a king, and most of all, I’d have girls, girls, and more girls.”  The second fellow says, “If my doctor said I had only six months to live, the first thing I would do would be to visit the travel agency and plot out an itinerary. There are 1000 places on earth I haven’t seen, and I would like to see them all before I die: the Grand Canyon, the Taj Mahal, Angor Wat, all of them.  And the third fellow says, “Vell, if my doctor said I only had six months to live, the first thing I vould do vould be to consult another doctor.”  -Isaac Asimov

Moral: Never give up hope.

“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?
