Possible Things to Say...

It can't be easy being a parent. Before I commence, I'd like to pay my respects to all parents in the world: God bless you! I have always found it so cute when kids start saying what they want to be when they grow up (of course half of them end up by being something completely diverse of what they had initially planned): ballerina, fireman, police officer, doctor, singer etc. And parents always bear proud and shiny faces. However I wonder which look their countenance would bear, and what reaction they’d have, if their kids would convey their wish to be an undertaker, for example... But there is worse... Please allow me to share 4 unusual professional paths that kids could dream of pursuing; and the possible things their parents could tell them. I. “Mom, dad; I want to be a whore.” Possible reaction : oh sure, darling; if that is your dream job. Of course the family will support your decision...when you’re 60. Until then go to school, finish your

Me Young You Old, You Young Me Old

Love is a magical feeling: it brings light into the household of darkness; it bestows upon you happiness; it softens the hardest of hearts; it melts the iciest of beings and helps us to evolve. Love ignores the boundaries of age. However, society has managed, once again, to express its bigotry, lack of sensibility; poor judgment and, foment sexism even when it comes to feelings. Who the bloody hell decided that a lady (let's say, in her 40's or more) should not be involved with young men (for example, in their 20's or 30's)? Moreover, why are they labelled as cougars or pumas when they do so? We all know that whenever a lady falls in love with a younger man, people will either say "Oh, he's after her money" or "Oh, he's seeking for adventure with a more experienced woman" or even "What a waste! So many beautiful young ladies around, and he chose to be involved with an old bad". Let's analyse these ridiculous

The 3rd Commandment

“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.” (Exodus 20:7) I have invested a fair amount of time thinking about this commandment (specially after LS drew my attention to the fact that I was taking God’s name in vain, when commenting one of his intellectual delicatessens) and I would like to invite you to ponder upon this unusual topic… It is not uncommon to hear that God’s name is not to be taken lightly nor to be written if we know that there is the slightest chance of it being deleted or burned ( N.B : any text or book containing God’s name is to be buried). And now there are two pertinent questions that I would like to share with you: In this context, what does “in vain” mean exactly? It means “without due reverence, honour or respect”; but if one uses expressions such as “oh, my God!” “Oh, Lord!” “Oh, my sweet Lord!” with respect, honour or reverence (i.e. if one wishes God to partake in his acti

And God Created Woman...

Mrs. Mary Robinson by Thomas Gainsborough “And the Lord God said: it’s not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a help meet for him” (Genesis 2:18) . Women were created to help men, to be their balance; however since women’s emancipation the definition of “help” may have changed a bit (at least, in the mind of many women). So, how far are today’s men willing to go to get “female help”? This past weekend, I heard a most disturbing episode (taken place in England): a man, secretly, administered steroids to his wife, for three months, so that she’d become ugly and fat enough to quit her job and finally stay at home to take care of their children. I wonder how the whole affair may have played out... Hypothesis I He asked his wife to be a stay-at-home mum, because now he is earning well enough to provide a comfortable life to his family. She rejected this suggestion, outright, saying that she has a career to think of and, that soon she will be promoted. He rem

Cuts in Defence & Security: a mistake?

The Battle (detail) by Albrecht Altdorfer In several nations, left wing disciples tend to request severe cuts in defence budgets, as a solution to budgetary disequilibrium. For some reason, investing in defence and security is looked at with suspicion (as if freedom and liberties were at risk) so that funds can be channelled to what is viewed as more pressing issues - i.e. social benefits. The military, military intelligence, the secret services, federal agencies and security forces (in general) employ, directly, a lot of people. These forces also indirectly employ another whole lot of individuals through defence-related businesses, through companies supplying those businesses and so forth. People employed, nation secured. Taxes paid, nation wealthier. Military R&D, nation secured, trading and wealthier...This being said, investing in defence can help solve some social and economic issues; therefore, politicians that use defence as a tool of demagoguery (and actually succ

Mass Media: Informational Pacifier Dangerous?

Johann Christian Fischer by Thomas Gainsborough Mass Media: means of communication reaching large numbers of people, such as the telly, newspapers, e-news and radio . The media does reach a large number of people with its capacity to disseminate information throughout the world in a short period of time, thus bringing us closer. And that is a positive thing. The negative aspect of the means of communication is the pretentiousness of being the owner of truth, when they often omit facts, manipulate information and lack precision. We should make the distinction between the press and televised journalism. The first seems to offer more latitude to journalists because they can gather the facts, present them (or not) in the written form, build an opinion and share it; confront individuals or/and governments and comment it. The way I see it, televised journalism is divided into three main categories: The transmission of information as it is received, devoid of comment a
