"Christianity was the answer to a riddle, not the last truism uttered after a long talk"
G K Chesterton , who wrote some great detective riddles ,talks about why he became a Christian.

So what is so wrong about thinking Greek ?

 


So what is so wrong about thinking Greek ?  Nothing except it's too long winded to be helpful sometimes.  

-when we have other work to do 
-when we need to test things and avoid procrastination   

I am writing this short note on the eve of New year 2025 because I have referred to the great story and musical of FIDDER ON THE ROOF a lot recently.
It's a story of great hope and faith for our age where we so easily get lost in the voluminous and confusing screen talk of Christmas and the information age. 

  





That story symbolizes what Eistein summarized when he said the most kindest thing about good thinking ever. The Greek introduction to his statement could have been " That all things considered +100 pages ( at the very shortest) we only have one choice . "Either life is a miracle or it is not "


I use Greek thinking to solve problems at work especially those related to the complex interactions in the  environment .
The main problem is not greek thinking but the modern mistake and heresy of expecting it to solve all problems - you could be in a box before any conclusive citations are given . Life is too short for that blinkeredness. See Whiteheads summary of the debilitating disease of our era and Jung for the summary of the debilitating diseases of the human mind.  
If you haven't already done so,  try testing the idea that God your Creator's cares for you and,  miracle of miracles ,  if you really want to get adventurous, he is listening . 
This idea is of course mind blowing but if its true , you can and should test it . 
.
Have blessed Christmas and Shalom my friends
