Guest guest Posted June 13, 2003 Report Share Posted June 13, 2003 So, old nations, with signs of decay all around them, are apt to be less hopeful than new nations. There is a proverb in India: " A thousand years a city, and a thousand years a forest. " This change of city into forest and vice versa is going on everywhere, and it makes people optimists or pessimists according to the side they see of it.
