The Gift of Icarus

My absolute position ( I have defined it elsewhere. So I shall not elaborate on this concept or of Me- factor. For the present purpose assume each of us holds a total distinct viewpoint of the world about us. )
My Me-factor is not yours. Admittedly our views are incompatible and it will not settle the question of our relevance within our lifetime; neither shall the question of success or failure be settled so easily. The anomaly of matter which drives the engine of unity of life precisely works because it can splice up from conflicting ideals into one.
How we solve every problem that faces us is experience and goes into the collective experience from which anyone may take inputs for his or her further development.
Let us consider the history of airborne flight:
That grand folly of Icarus could only be vindicated by Wright brothers in 1903. We address to time and place but unity of life works on a Time-Space framework. Unity of life binds many sheaves with varied names, as the time in which each lived, Icarus, Cyrano de Bergerac, da Vinci into one.
It is curious to know if the wright brothers were helped by mysterious forces from beyond the realm of natural by the spirits of all those who attempted to fly unsuccessfully? It wouldn’t be too far fetched if they did.
There was the laughter of the impossible over Icarus; as with da Vinci when he sketched the helicopter. That laughter must stop when one is set to solve a problem whose time has come. The gift of Icarus is the laughter of the possible. The Wright brothers could have well understood it.
