Poet William Blake vs Philosopher Wittgenstein | Simple Poetic Truth vs Deep Thinking - Poem A Day

Описание: Poet William Blake vs Philosopher Wittgenstein | Simple Poetic Wisdom vs Deep Thinking.

Welcome to Poetry Changes Lives — where timeless poetry meets thoughtful reflection.

Today,we explore two very different minds:
✨ William Blake, the visionary poet and humanist, who believed in the simple truths of compassion and cruelty —
🧠 Ludwig Wittgenstein, the brilliant philosopher, whose profound thoughts challenged how we even think about life itself.

On Wittgenstein's birthday (born 1889), we reflect on his complex philosophy alongside Blake’s beautifully clear poem, "The Human Abstract".
We discover how poetry and philosophy, even when they seem so different, often point us back to the same questions:
🌳 What grows in the human heart and mind?

📖 Hear Grandpa read Blake’s sharp, compassionate poem and offer insights into why simple human kindness might be wiser — and harder — than all the deepest thinking in the world.
