A profane question of diety

Since we call "God" everything we don't understand, or can't yet explain, does that mean that the more we know, the smaller this God gets?

Of stories and tales

When you've heard a story that, be it sad or happy, makes you feel warmth.
When you've heard a story that you'd wish would never end, but at the same time hope that it does, because in its fine underworkings it made you understand that for anything to be truly beautiful, it must also be mortal.
When you've heard a story that once ended it silences even your softest whispers.
When you've heard a story that reminds you of your soul, and does so by bringing it back to life and placing it right in front of your eyes for you to see.

When you've heard such a story, you've heard an extraordinary story.


And you know you're not alone.

On loving a woman (Bob Marley)

Nici pe departe creatie personala, dar reuseste sa cristalizeze niste ganduri care imi umbla brambura prin cap de ceva vreme incoace. Poate am sa am si versiunea mea candva, pana atunci insa, Marley said it best:

Bob Marley on Loving a Woman:

You may not be her first, her last, or her only.

She loved before and she may love again.

But if she loves you now, what else matters?

She’s not perfect, you aren’t either,

and the two of you may never be perfect together

but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice,

and admit to being human and making mistakes,

hold onto her and give her the most you can.

She may not be thinking about you

every second of the day, but she will give you a part of

her that she knows you can break: her heart.

So don’t hurt her, don’t change her, don’t analyze

and don’t expect more then she can give.

Smile when she makes you happy,

let her know when she makes you mad,

and miss her when shes not there.

Despre casatorie (cu o feminista)

     Vorbeam mai devreme cu o feminista convinsa si foarte efervescenta. Evident, nu a durat mult pana m-am gasit pus in pozitia de a trebui sa-i dau si o replica mai de suflet, ca nu se mai putea! Cum se ajunsese la momentul in care a trebuit sa aduca artileria grea, ea i-a dat inainte:

Ea: "Stii, oricum nu prea mai conteaza ce spui tu acum, pentru ca mai devreme sau mai tarziu toti ajungeti sa va casatoriti si gata, v-am pus papucul pe cap!" concluziona ea cu un zambet larg pe buze, obraji si pavilioanele urechilor

Eu: "Draga mea, cred ca a sosit momentul sa aflii adevarul. Vezi tu, a fost un moment in istorie cand femeile umblau libere. Cam ca bizonii in "Dansand cu lupii". Dar la un moment dat au inceput sa formeze grupuri-grupuri. Si stim cu totii ce se intampla cand pui mai multe femei la un loc: isterie in masa, ineptii, discutii inutile ... si asta fara sa zic nimic de cumparaturi sau reduceti! Ce sa mai, te dureau ochii si iti sangerau urechile. Si situatia se inrautatea (tot ca in Dansand cu lupii). Sosise deci clipa in care noi, barbatii, trebuia sa luam o decizie pentru a opri acest declin al umanitatii. Si am decis: luam fiecare una din ele acasa, si o educam (sper ca intelegi acum de ce ii zice (a)casatorie). Era un efort comun si un sacrificu imens, si fiecare ajuta cum putea. Unii luau chiar si doua-trei, de aici si dorinta de azi a barbatilor de a fi cu mai multe femei, chiar si in acelasi timp, nu din vreo placere perversa!


Din pacate, ma uit la tine acum si vad ca procesul de educatie nu prea da roade!"

Ea: "..."

Eu: "A, si inca o chestie. Dragostea am inventat-o noi barbatii ca sa nu mai platim!"

Quote #3

"Pasivul nu ar trebui sa pretinda ca societatea sa ii vina in intampinarea tuturor asteptarilor, cu atat mai putin sa o critice cand acest lucru nu se intampla. Acesta este dreptul Activistului. Pasivul ar trebui sa ramana pasiv si in privinta propriilor asteptari." HNA
