Thoughts About Thoughts

One life is far too short for one to start learning from a scratch. In honing these stray thoughts, I have leaned heavily on others. Many of my ideas tallied with those of my associates; some wise, some scholarly. They have made such instant impact that I can no longer discern the origin or legacy of the thoughts. Our sentiments are alike, like in hospitals whose walls have heard more cordial prayers than in temples, synagogues, churches, and the mosques. Ours is a lineage where we share our callings. I trail a dynasty of writers particularly medical that have similar passions. Our thoughts, and the themes are alike; because the subject is common. I bask in the reflected glory of my predecessors who stand on the shoulders of their precursors. Our knowledge is concord.
