Document Summary
*germanic culture cross pollinates w/ world culture for better or for worse. They 100% cross pollinate, it"s a fact. There is a spiritual world & a temporal world. Man: social being: why we cross pollinate rather than killing someone, why people get pets. Technology is good b/c we can communicate with people anywhere but it freaks some people out and cause them to self-destruct. Language: english, yiddish, dutch (bridge language btwn english & german) Used to be in ny (brooklyn, staten, the bronx: you can see the cross pollination of english within names. Lots of literature about making deals w/ the devil. Goethe: a human being, faust: his work of art. Best rendition of be careful what you want, you just may get it . Gretchen is witch so they tie her to stake and start fire but. Faust cries to god to keep her alive, she still loved him. ***a lesson for all people at all times.
