There is no timeless wisdom.
Taken out of its original context,
Out of its original time,
Much is lost,
As interpretations and translations loop back on themselves,
Time and time again,
Against the backdrop of an ever-changing world.
However,
There is still wisdom to be found,
If you but look for it.
“We do not receive wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness, which no one else can make for us, which no one else can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world.”
- Marcel Proust
