The most moving thing about the Celtic Books for me is that he depicts the cycle of cultural life. Let's look at these scenarios:
In a mighty empire, countless suppressed lives and souls converge into a restless river. Then came the birth and shaping of scriptures. Then came riots and uprisings. Then came the 300-day siege of the Holy City. The leader of the uprising committed suicide, the city collapsed, the spikes fell on the marble with blood. Everything is dead. Yet they hatched scriptures. So shining, shining on the future.
A young man with great ambition and unparalleled optimism. He was constantly fighting and trying to infect others. He provoked wars, played diplomacy, and in the end he failed miserably. His favorite disciples left one after another. He is old. But his disciples took his words down. Remember how he infected them. After a period of terrible tyranny. People understand more and more what he says. His ideas shaped a nation.
Every culture produces a flower. Stained with blood. weather the storm. So that people feel that it is too cruel to compare it with life. And there is such a person. Maybe suffered a lot. But he was able to carry this flower through this bloody storm. Ultimate safety is handed over to posterity. You can say he is coward, indifferent, his personality is incomplete, but he accepts his destiny.
The same goes for the Celtics. There is nothing left, the scriptures are still there, and it is worth it.
