Solomon's Wisdom

Solomon had a powerful ring, the most powerful ring ever created. No one knew the secret of the writing that encircled its core and Solomon never let the ring leave his finger. When the great king was on his deathbed, his advisers begged the king to give them his ring.
”Are you certain?” The dying king gasped, “that you want to ring so powerful that when a happy man looks at it he becomes sad and sad person sees it he becomes happy?”
“Yes,” said all the ministers.

So, with a dying gesture, King Solomon let the ring slip from his finger. The prime minister picked up the ring held to the light and read, gam zeh ya’avor, “this too shall pass.”  This was Solomon’s greatest wisdom and guarded secret.  
“This too shall pass.”

“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?
