It’s a statement that was made by learned people 1500 years ago.
Just because say A Christmas Carol or Star Trek or The Bible are works of fiction, it doesn’t mean they don’t have some wise observations, especially when taken in a cultural context.
That's nice, but A it's meaning is disputed as evidenced even in this thread and B I doubt it's applicable to current circumstances. Outside of those two concerns I have, generalities aren't usually that accurate and typically fall flat.
Again if you have something stronger that's cool. I don't run my life on star trek or a christmas carol either.
Edit: FWIW I’m not against frameworks, I just think ones built on reason, empirical evidence, and moral intuition tested against reality beat ones that rely on ancient metaphor and selective reinterpretation. If the goal is clarity, integrity and useful signposts for modern times, that’s a better starting point.
