A History lesson

[Guest guest]

Hello;

 

I came across something the other day that I had to chuckle about and

thought you might enjoy. Lately, I've been studying about

Machiavelli. It's just something I always was interested in.

 

At one time in his life, he left Flourence(exiled)to go back on his

small farm. Once there, he was quite bored with the chores, so he

went in the afternoon to the local pub to have some wine and talk

politics with the other people. After that, he would come back home,

go to his basement to switch out from his working clothes and into a

set of formal attire. He would pull out a set of books from ancient

times and start reading. Niccolo claimed to, in his mind, go into a

hallway were the classical writers and thinkers of Greece would meet

with him. He would have a dicussion or two about what was going on

in modern times and asked them what they thought. He always said the

answer's he received were one's not of his mind, but the mind of the

people he would talk to. After a few hours, he would come back out

and get ready for bed.

 

What does this have to do with anything you might ask? I don't

know. I'm just happy Doc taught these skills to me and other people.

 

Merry Christmas
