Who are our thinkers?
As I read yesterday's post I was struck by the word 'thinker'.
Who would deserve the title today? Do we even consider that to call someone a thinker would be a decoration of honour, or would it be a term of criticism.
At times it seems we live our lives in a Nike advertisement to the soundtrack of 'Just Do It!'
Yet our role models are celebrities whose most notable feature is to have lived lives free from achieving anything.
We are left with the hollow sound of a drum that incessantly beats a rhythm to do more of the same, just quicker, more efficiently, and never to allow the time to ask 'why?'
