WHY IS IT ?

Implications...Implications...Implications???

You tell me why is it???

 Why is it ???

MAN ALONE

What good is a man alone?
One man alone in the world is anything but a free man
His humanness constrains him on all sides.
He alone responsible for his shelter...You don’t know how to build a shelter? Sorry.
He alone responsible for his food...You don’t know how make food? Sorry.
He alone responsible for his clothes...You don’t know how? Sorry.
Can you live without these? No. Are you lacking? Yes.

If you are a pioneer mountain man are you still lacking? Yes.
His humanness still constrains him on all sides. No break in hunting.
No break in collecting firewood...No hope in sharing out any task because there is no other
for a man alone. Is he going to propagate? No he’s going to die off. Is he going to master the
world? No he will shortly die. He will run short of food. He will not stack enough wood.
He will fall prey to the environment. One can only conclude that act of sharing-out is “the
way of life” for any and every man!..And so it is that one man say to the other I can not live
without you...No choice...No option...How can this in anyway be that hard to understand?
There is no other way.  

A stitch in time...

 All of these sayings or proverbs contain "measures of truth”... Refined and boiled down over time. Yes, you must know how to apply it. It is” a key” that when applied [and with time] grants success. Born of much trial and error. The greatest misconception is that they don’t apply to you. They are a gift from generations past...They sought to make your life easer..."They thought” you might find that useful...How is it archaic if it still works...Still applies to daily living? Is it that we live on different planets? What evil causes us to look the other way all the time?...How many times must we reinvent the wheel?

A Proverb (from Latin: proverbium) is a simple and concrete saying, popularly known and repeated, that expresses a truth based on common sense or the practical experience of humanity.

Many have forgotten the value of the “Proverb” What was it’s purpose? What was the reason for their existence? The older generations can remember quite a few of these- [ A stitch in _____, The early bird gets the______.”] But the “now generation” have very little knowledge of these...Less and less each day... Unfortunately they reek of being “ archaic” and of course the younger generations always see “their road” as new and different. And yes, we were all once there.

In the definition it is “a simple and concrete saying...” I take this to mean ”that given knowledge or a way of thinking which was boiled down for daily use... Condensed common knowledge which when ad-heard to and follow would delivered success. Like a “Golden Thought Key” -when inserted in the proper place opened the door of success. In the future I am going to attempt here to exstreapulate the hidden gold buried within some of these sayings...And maybe a new appreciation of their value. “Only Time Well Tell” ...right!

My idea of "Old School" is not about math, history, science or any other subject you associate with any previous schooling....It’s is in essence simply about “living”....rather broad subject...Not as much as you might think...as we are all human beings....commonalities beyond measure!

So the first thing I will say about "Old School" is: It is a celebration of our commonalities. What do we all need? What do we all want?....and the key word is all. As much as we are all different we are all very much the same. This is not some lofty philosophy... It is the very essence of what is required...Hence to continue living here on earth one is required to do certain things lest he die.

And so I end with a question...because life for humans is first a colabortive process...What are the basic requirements and how do we share them?
