I do agree with the ideas put across in both articles. As was with the case of Evgenia and Elena and their deep conversations about life’s big questions, Kaleem explores the importance of such conversations in pursuit for success, purpose and happiness in life.

There is the need to keep these conversations afloat especially with the recent neglect as far as the value of humanities is concerned. Kaleem points out that only 7% of all American university students are pursuing humanities as part of their higher education.
