Tractate Chulin in the Talmud
(84b) says that a man should eat and drink less than in accordance with what he
can afford, dress himself in accordance with what he can afford, and he should
honor his wife and children more than in accordance with what he can afford.
The wife and children are dependent on the husband, and the husband is
dependent on the One Who Spoke And The World Was Created. - Rabbi Arthur Lavinsky
“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.
