For this lesson, I met with an online contact of mine named Y--- and we had a conversation over Skype. the changing attitudes of the youth in Japan. We then discussed the reasons for studying other languages as well as Eastern philosophy and what it can teach people in the 21st century.She is a volunteer who helps people down on their luck who do not have anyone to talk to. She gradually became more interested in traditional Japanese thought as she grew older.
I discussed the contrasting ideologies of Iskandar, who was versed in Aristotle and the holy man he came across whose name escapes me for now. Thanks to the magic of the blog, that will be rectified later on today. After we mentioned this, we talked about the Eightfold Path and how we implement it into our own lives.
Sounds like a very interesting conversation! How do you like doing this via Skype?
