Wisdom from a "Neanderthal".

Lee — 1/31/2006 2:42:57 AM (archived)

"Humans are born, they live, then they die. This is the order that the gods have decreed. But until the end comes, enjoy your life. Spend it in happiness, not despair. Savor your food, make each of your days a delight. Bath and anoint yourself. Wear bright clothes that are sparkling clean. Let music and dancing fill your house. Love the child who holds you by the hand, and give your wife pleasure in your embrace. That is the best way for a man to live." ---- Utnapishtim to Gilgamesh

Those words are well over 5,000 years old. They hold as much truth now as they did the day they were first cast in clay. Basic Human truth can not be waved away like an annoying insect, not even by a modern and hip granny.

Lee, (Neanderthals indeed)
