Back in the day of the toga, and long before too, villages were small and people tended to congregate and talk. Philosophy was born. With globalization we are exposed to many more people and more thoughts. Some of these can be profound and shape not only our personal views, but now can sometimes shape a whole world's view. I like to think of the Dalai Lama's message of peace world-wide, and Gandhi before him; MLK's words of hope nationally; and sometimes even various song lyrics personally. Thinking about the Greeks' contribution and posterity and importance, makes me wonder: Whose words in more recent times do you think will have a lasting effect hundreds of years from now?
