Sins are like heavy luggage that one carries through life but a sincere repentance is the sollution for lightening that luggage.

I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or confused.

If men were born free, they would, so long as they remained free, form no conception of good and evil.

- Spinoza

The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. And the LORD God commanded the man, "You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die."

- Genesis, Ch. 2

"Practice humility until no one oppresses or belittles another"

[Djamila]

"So many believe a society's quality of life is greatly determined by its treatment of women, but this simply is not the case. If we look at quality of life not in terms of financial well-being, but as a general sense of happiness and satisfaction with ones day-to-day living, then we see very quickly that the wealthiest regions of the world are often the least contented. Equally, in the poorest regions of the world people have no time to contemplate happiness or pursue enjoyment, their day-to-day lives are consumed by the struggle to survive. The regions where people are truly happy tend to be neither rich, nor poor, neither liberal nor conservative. Thus it seems to me that a general indication of a society's well-being and quality of life is not the treatment of women, but of women's feelings towards men. In the West, feminism has brought with it a disdain for masculinity. This is demonstrated through everything from pop culture to university studies. In the East, patriarchial societies have bred among women a resentment for men and the totalitarian role they assume in society. However, if we look at the Mediterranean and Caribbean cultures, we see not only an exceptionally high sense of satisfaction with life but societies where women admire and value their men. You will never hear an Italian version of "Who let the dogs out". No, from Barbados to Bosnia, a woman need not be ashamed to declare herself a lover of masculinity and of the role men play in her society. That is something that, research demonstrates, goes hand in hand with a healthy society."
