The History of Doubt

This is a great quote from Epicurus that I wanted to share with you and I also wanted to recommend listening to the show where the History of Doubt was discussed with Jennifer Michael Hecht. Fascinating topic. History of Doubt
Doubters, questioners and explorers hold your heads high! We are the fuel in the engine of change.

Here's a reading from one of the greats in her "doubters hall of fame," the third-century B.C.E. Greek philosopher Epicurus. (BTW same time frame from whence classical Chinese Medicine flows)
"Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search thereof when he has grown old, for no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul. And to say that the season for studying philosophy has not yet come or that it is passed and gone is like saying that the season for happiness is not yet or that it is now no more. Therefore, both old and young ought to seek wisdom. The former in order that, as age comes over him, he may be young in good things because of the grace of what has been. And the latter in order that, while he is young, he may at the same time be old because he has no fear of the things which are to come. So we must exercise ourselves in the things which bring happiness since, if that be present, we have everything, and if that be absent, all our actions are directed toward attaining it."
