We spoke with a Greek friend while in Rome who pointed out how difficult it is for modern Greeks to live up to their illustrious and storied past. (“How can we ever compare to Socrates, Heraclitus, Aristotle?”)
I wonder if Italians feel a similar weight of history?
Thank you Joel . Really enjoyed the flight of well illustrated nostalgia you graciously served . How quickly we forget to remember our Father's.
Dang you can write good sir!.
“Nothing like a little high-brow ribaldry to ruffle one’s toga.”
A poem unto itself.
Wonderful!
Thanks, Elena! You keep reading 'em, I'll keep writing 'em. Cheers!
Please do! You’ve taught me so much with your writings...know that your insight and wit are appreciated.
Thank you! Entering the Age of A.I., it means a lot to know there are real people on the other end of the interwebs. Cheers!
Italians are so jaded.
