Failure and Friendship

Consider a recent “Peanuts” comic strip: Charlie Brown was busy trying to get his kite to fly.  Lucy is next to him, looking severe as usual.  But suddenly the kite is lifted off on a gust of wind, begins to fly, and Lucy shouts: “We did it, Charlie Brown, you and I together, we did it.  You’ll tell everyone that we worked together won’t you.  You’ll tell them we were a team., we did it, won’t you.”  Just then, the kite crashes to the ground and breaks up into pieces.  Lucy walks away muttering, “I don’t know you.”  -Michael Zedek

“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?
