It's amazing how little human life changes. When I read Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, I marvel at how every ancient poem is basically a withering commentary on our contemporary politicians. A dip into Henry David Thoreau's journals paints a portrait of a plant-loving man who is overeducated, underemployed, upset about politics, and living with his parents -- he sounds exactly like one of my fellow millennials!
