Yes, that is the famous sentence of King Solomon. You know, this week I came across a video about the Cromagnon man: taller with more robust bones and a larger cranial capacity, indicating that they were stronger and smarter than us. I wonder, how valid was Solomon's sentence for them? Perhaps, we have degenerated as copies of the original giving place to such bad practices that you point out with certainty. Anyway, in the end, one decides one's behavior under the circumstances. Although I am inclined not to affect others. We must recognize that the instinct to satisfy one's own needs can be a stumbling block and temptation. Hence the sublime of those who strive to do what is right and in solidarity with others. I don't know if there were swindlers among our Cro-Magnon ancestors, but surely there were also those who did good.
Happy reading of The Lessons of History, my friend.
It seems life is, and always has been, a battle between good and evil. I think we're all part of a universal consciousness that just keeps getting reborn again and again. Thanks!
