2,000 Years Ago

2,000 years ago a Sage I know wrote this about ‘change:’ Try out something new you’ll start a war with those who prefer things ~ the way they were ‘before’

So true Gershon we are slow to change and some of us detest it. I for one would love the 60's or 70's forever.

If you are speaking of Jesus, he definitely was a radical. He upset the scribes and Pharisees. Good one

Jesus certainly did talk about wars and rumors of war, saying this will come about. While He advocated for love and peace. I hear similar expressed in modern day music lyrics -- I hope advocating for peace. I learn a lot trying, doing research, to decipher your brilliant remarks. Hope I got this right.

Thank you for the encouragement, Joe. And... well... well... well... well... The sage I had in mind was a conservative member of the Sanhedrin (120-member Jewish Cort, located in the Holy Temple and then moved to Yavne in 70 C.E.). ~ gw
