Thoughts on Karl Polanyi (shallow ones)!

When I look at history from this point, I find it weird-- why were people so thoughtless and would not make any sense at that point of time and then I think--oh well (this was thinking about the law against biracial marriages in California, the gay marriage everywhere, acceptance of trans-people and so so many others--)

At this moment I am reading Karl Polanyi's correspondence (typed letters) he made at different point of times and just making me feel like, those people who lived that moment it was such a great thing for them to do those things then, navigating their path--and also giving those theories and book like almost 80 years back that makes sense now too. 

Makes me wonder- How can even make sense agelessly? How ? What power do one possess to do that? 

Metta!
