Old time's wisdom in the modern world

"

Old times' wisdom in the modern world

I sometimes ponder about old Finnish art and books: such great fracturelessness and wisdom, why does it not carry in the modern world? Did the same happen in other countries to their traditional wisdom? I think that what the old times' art and books do not carry are cultural differencies in the modern world: the audience is just bigger than the works of art etc were planned for, culturally much too different and varied. In the modern world such pieces of art and books are read, watched and listened by many who are interested in that culture, so they should bring a very good result if applied abroad by people who like that culture's approach, want to try it out. They are likely to be the foreigners who largely handle that country's affairs in such things that demand knowing the culture and it's art and books at least somewhat. So if they cannot use something, they are likely to bypass it and change to othert subjects and so such wisdom does not carry, since it's audience is too small, all in an international environment of also the old audience in the homeland. And at the same time the material ought to be useful in the homeland for both foreigners and citizens, kind of one area of life for the culture's wusdom. And it ought to spread abroad an understanding of what the culture'sapproach is and what the good sides of it are also in widely different environments, kind of spreading the civilized wisdom to what wisely looking ought to be it's place in the world.

Many of my own texts seek to support succh old wisdom at large in the modern world.

Another subject: Succeeding in writing fact text




From my Finnish blog about environmental questions http://kokonaiskuvat.blogspot.com/2018/11/kirjoittamisessa-onnistumisesta.html

"
If one already has skills and insight, then a good text is found from where one has one's own insight, supported by a group of basic skills. One can tell about the meaningfullness of the subject: that subject is fine because... , and connect it with a wider view of the world, and tell based on basic skills the things that are essential for others to learn about the subject, and add a few nice pictures or pieces of stories or interesting observations, like life usually makes fascinating things interesting, but this time pick those that are on a general level, fitted for a wider audience.

Someimes it is difficult to start writing about some subject. Then one can find a right header for the subject, but start it like a tale telling how one came to think about such subject, and so one has described the subject already somehow and can continue to the subject itself.

It is nice to teach the readers skills for life as far as those are not dangerous to others. So it is somewhat like teaching the younger generation in a subject that fascinates oneself."
