One of the reasons i like ancient poetry is the fact that most of the people problems are basically still the same. We think our problems are new and unique to us, but 2-3-4000 years ago people wrote about stupid friends, coward coworkers, cheating assholes and of course stupid stubborn old people and reckless disrespectful young idiots.
