Sepher Ehben: Aphorisms — Culture

Culture is like a bed of nails,
When only a few nails are available most become impaled on them. When a vast number of nails are laid out close together they can support the weight without discomfort.

The nails are the spaces of experience, areas of understanding, domains of knowledge, when we possess few they not only fail to support us but also impede being able to spread the support over wider areas.
