While I was enjoying the Olympics and am amazed at the wonderment of the whole process of the coming together of the countries of the world...a thought or several thoughts occurred to me. Are the Olympics Greece's greatest gift to mankind? Then my stream of consciousness went to Greece's other gifts:
Democracy
Philosophy/Logic
Mathematics
The Spartans :D
Literature
Theater
And I'm sure there are others....wondering if there are others out there who are fans of this ancient civilization?
PS If you get a chance I highly reccomend the book 'Zen and the art of Motorcycle Maintainance-not much about Zen but an outstanding read on Logic
