This was a great talk!
I really think more of the ideal this presentation expressed needs to be shared. It's very easy to be a cold, hard reasoner when your life is reasonably safe, comfortable, and your belly is full. It's very easy to forget the larger picture.
- itp 9y agoWere you there to hear it in person? Even just reading it online, I found it really, really well done. Both in terms of content, but also structurally as a presentation itself.
- 52-6F-62 9y agoNo, unfortunately this is the first I'd heard of it. But it is a great read. Well structured, but with some great bits of history I didn't yet know. I also hadn't heard anything from Ecclesiastes since I was a kid. Churches started to depart from the old testament unless they wanted to condemn gay marriages, etc for a while there. I still kept my old Bible (as I do many texts). I might even have to give that book a re-read because I definitely didn't appreciate the basic wisdom when I was young. It was well-used, though; sparsely, and with cutting effect. I couldn't agree more with the conclusion, and it was beautifully illustrated.
