Hello, Open Eyes. What you speak of reminds me of the telling of the tale of the Tower of Babel. The phrase "The Tower of Babel" does not actually appear in the Bible. Sources, however, do point to the confusion of tongues as an act of defiance that doomed the undertaking.

Is pondering the deep issues people face considered an act of defiance? I do not know. I do believe the inability to communicate in a manner those who must understand are capable of is a source of many of the world's problems.
