A great writer , writes a great proverb!


In Africa, A grandfather that dies is a library that burns.
by Hampate Ba.
I love this proverb because it is so true. Grandfathers and grandmothers through their experiences acquire a lot of significant knowledge and become a wealth of knowledge. when a grandfather dies , what dissapears is a fixed memory of the past. The natural memory and the dialogue has an effect on how we receive the message . Today , the artificial memory(thecnology , computers) dominates, even the bookstore.
