“But pain is a great
teacher. Just as physical pain can
mobilize our defenses and alert us to deeper problems, so can emotional
pain. It has the function of awakening
us to the realization that there is something wrong in our lives, something
that needs attention. If we ignore inner pain, it will surely grow out of
control.” - Viktor Frankl

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?
