POINTS TO PONDER CXV

We all need the ballast of the past, a general past, the place from which we came. That is why history should be taught in school. If you have no sense of the past, you cannot see yourself as part of the narrative; you cannot place yourself within a context.

Every puzzle is a mystery. Completing a puzzle is a process that rewards time, effort, and ingenuity. It is an exercise in bringing order to chaos - or in seeing a pattern within apparent randomness. From uncertainty, you find closure.
