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

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

Ethics: the Help and its Best

How much appreciation should be demonstrated towards someone who works under another one’s decree? Plenty, I’d say.

Qual cor tradisti?

“Qual cor tradisti, qual cor perdesti, questa orrenda ti manifesti; da me fuggire tentasti invano, crudel Romano, tu sei con me. Un nume, un fato di te più forte ci vuol uniti in vita e in morte; sul rogo istesso che mi divora, sotterra ancora sarò con te.” (in Norma by Vincenzo Bellini) “The heart you betrayed, the heart you lost, see in this dreadful hour what heart it was; in vain you sought to flee from me; cruel Roman, at last you are with me. A god, a fate stronger than you wills us together in life and in death, in the same pyre which consumes me; I will be with you even under earth.” (in Norma by Vincenzo Bellini) Pollione betrayed Norma. She feel in love with him, gave him two beautiful children, and years later he fell in love with Adalgisa… This week I will share with you two stories of heartbreak and betrayal. Catherine is madly in love with her boyfriend Tarik; she lives for him, each of her heart beat pumps his name throughout her veins, making her c

The Kiss

Kiss, Beijo, Bacio, Beso, Baiser, Fili (Φιλί), Kuss, Neshika (נשיקה)... A kiss is much more than just a proof of affection or a greeting sign; it is also a sign of communication that when accompanied with the proper feeling, intent or goal it transforms itself in a whole new language. This article could address the anthropological, social and scientific notion of a kiss; however the purpose for this post is to focus on the succulent details of that most wanted moment that makes people be nervous prior to the act and gives the chills down one’s back when performing that same act. Two people are together. It is not like they are particularly in love but they wish to kiss each other (they feel drawn to one another)…what will the kiss be like? Lips come together, immediately the mouth blossoms; their movable organ begins to taste each other (sometimes one of them is not that great of a kisser and so uses his tongue as a mop wiping the floor – a total mess), saliva may (or not) reach

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
