• Truly it has been said that there is nothing new under the sun,
  for knowledge is revealed and is submerged again, even as a nation rises and falls.
  Here is a system, tested throughout the ages, but lost again and again by ignorance or prejudice,
  in the same way that great nations have risen and fallen
  and been lost to history beneath the desert sands and in the ocean depths.

  Paracelsus

• The media covers what’s new – and millions of people dying is nothing new. So it stays in the background, where it’s easier to ignore. But even when we do see it or read about it, it’s difficult to keep our eyes on the problem. It’s hard to look at suffering if the situation is so complex that we don’t know how to help. And so we look away.
