Ecl 3, 1-8

"As Apple and Samsung dominate, Japan’s tech giants are in a free fall"

Sinto, na minha vida, à medida que me aproximo dos 50 anos que cada vez percebo melhor o comentário de Zimmer:
"Heinrich Zimmer was lecturing at Columbia on the Hindu idea that all life is as a dream or a bubble; that all is maya, illusion. After his lecture a young woman came up to him and said, "Dr. Zimmer, that was a wonderful lecture on Indian philosophy! But maya -- I don't get it -- it doesn't speak to me."          
.
"Oh," he said, "don't be impatient! That's not for you yet, darling." And so it is: when you get older, and everyone you've known and originally lived for has passed away, and the world itself is passing, the maya myth comes in. But, for young people, the world is something yet to be met and dealt with and loved and learned from and fought with -- and so, another mythology."
Trecho de "The Power of Myth" de Joseph Campbell
.
Faz recordar o "and then some" de Joseph Tainter.
