The Hercules Principle
24th October 2025 An old fable tells of a farmer whose cart became stuck in the mud. He cried out to Hercules, the God of strength & heroic endurance, for rescue. The hero answered, not by lifting the cart for him, but with a command: “Put your shoulder to the wheel. The Gods help those […]
To – Be List
