  Imagine a world without smartphones, internet, or even television. A century ago, in 1925, life moved at a dramatically different pace. Let's step back in time and explore what daily existence looked like for our great-grandparents. The Roaring Twenties The year 1925 fell right in the heart of the "Roaring Twenties," a period of dramatic social and cultural change following World War I. Jazz music filled speakeasies, flappers challenged traditional norms, and a sense of optimism permeated American society—at least for some. Home Life and Technology The average home in 1925 looked vastly different from today's residences. Only about 50% of American homes had electricity, and those that did used it primarily for lighting. Refrigerators were a luxury item that cost the equivalent of several months' salary. Most families used iceboxes, relying on the iceman to deliver large blocks of ice several times a week. There were no dishwashers, microwaves, or vacuum cl...

  1. The Old Bridge and the Two Travelers:  Two men meet at a narrow bridge and refuse to yield. An old monk reminds them that a bridge stands because each stone yields to another. In pride, neither man moves; in humility, both find passage. Lesson: Pride builds walls, but humility builds bridges. Yielding is not weakness—it is wisdom. 2. The King’s Empty Cup: A king demands wisdom from a sage. The sage pours tea into the king’s cup until it overflows. “So too is your mind,” the sage says. “Until you empty it, nothing new can enter.” Lesson: To gain wisdom, one must let go of pride and preconceptions. 3. The Lantern in the Cave: A traveler lights others’ torches with his lantern inside a dark cave. The cave grows brighter with every flame. “A flame is never diminished by lighting another,” he says. Lesson: Kindness and knowledge grow stronger when shared. 4. The Stonecutter’s Wish:  A stonecutter envied the rich merchant, the powerful king, the mighty sun, an...

  In a quiet village cradled by mountains, a stonecutter named Kael labored daily, chiseling granite under the relentless sun. His hands were calloused, his back bent, yet he took pride in crafting stones for homes and hearths. But envy gnawed at him. He saw merchants with silk robes, warriors with gleaming swords, and priests revered by all. “If only I were powerful,” Kael sighed, “my life would be complete.” One evening, as Kael rested by a stream, a faint glow shimmered in the water. A spirit emerged, its voice like rustling leaves. “Your heart is heavy, stonecutter. I grant you one wish.” Kael’s eyes widened. Without hesitation, he said, “Make me the most powerful being of all.” The spirit vanished, and Kael awoke atop a hill, his body radiant as the sun. He was the Sun itself, beaming with unmatched might. He warmed fields and lit the world, but soon, a cloud drifted across his face, dimming his light. Frustrated, he thought, “The cloud is stronger than I.” So, he wished to...
