Wisdom is timeless because all lives reflect universals. The insightful distillation of any experience is therefore ours, whether it's modern or ancient. We can learn from others who have walked this way before us, as we might from those around us today. But sometimes the older witnesses speak to us in a distinctive voice, unencumbered by the many glittering particulars that distract us now from genuine core truth. So pick up an old book, or read a story set in a former time to find fresh guidance and guardrails for your own life now. I do it all the time. And I'm amazed at what I often discover anew to spark me on.
To see the amazing wisdom I picked up from a bunch of fictional Egyptians in 1934, go look around at theoasiswithin.com. And have a great and wise day.
