The intellect flowered under the Greek philosophers who took great pleasure in discussing new thoughts. To Aristotle it was a pursuit of excellence, striving to master the virtues to enable man to rule himself to the benefit of others
It is this which lies at the heart of democracy and is impossible without it. To our shame it has never been truely reached as man is driven by self-centredness and is out for personal gain.
It was the Greek civilisation that cradled the gospel in its early days, a language fit for the King of Kings, the one true, virtuous man who gave Himself for the greater good of all.
