They were good advice for most of history... I'll be happy if my articles are still providing valuable advice in decades, let alone millennia! :-)

- jsmcgd 14y agoHa, true. Although I honestly think in some ways your posts are 'more timeless' as I think they're more considered. From what I remember most of the fables are sound advice about morality in general but there's also a recurring theme of not getting above one's station and knowing one's place in the world. It irked my inner entrepreneur. But now that I reconsider it, perhaps Aesop was right. Ambition has never guaranteed happiness. Perhaps accepting one's lot in life is something to aspire to. In fact it most probably definitely is. Ah bollocks. Now I don't know what to think.
