Maybe, Mati, it was not as profitable.  And maybe, the Eastern philosophical 
tradition was more about a _pure freedom_ than the freedom espoused in the 
West.   That which is called freedom today in the West is nothing more 
enslavement.  And consider how many centuries the intellect of the early 
Greeks was lost to bobble-headed Western intellectuals.
