“…so long as it was telling the truth”
by abbamoses
Everyone who lived at that time,
not being as wise as you young ones are today,
found it rewarding enough in their simplicity
to listen to an oak or even a stone,
so long as it was telling the truth.
— Plato, Phaedros

It’s wonderful how a text so ancient can be so timely. Ten times fresher than today’s headlines.
