The question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If actually you do in fact have the power to commit revenge, do you decide to do it or not? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, the whole Christian notion of turning the other cheek, which Jesus teaches us\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Did Jesus teach this virtue because in fact he thought it was the superior option, or was it in fact the fact that he lacked an army, or military power? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Create your own great house?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Warrior Aesthetic<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What would and what <em>should<\/em> a warrior look like? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Silence!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be lucky to keep your head!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose a champion<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00e2\u20ac\u0153It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s my burden\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bow down to my feet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lead the Way<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Refuse to Move<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The role of a family?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anti burden<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vision, visions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I shall rule and conquer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pain?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pain is Love, and or sacrifice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are no sides<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What I find fascinating about doing, the dune movie, visions of futures; eventually, it all becomes quite primal and simple in nature.

However, what is the ultimate freedom and power? Freedom of speech. To speak your mind. Even Diogenes said this. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think the big issue here is so much of our morality is based around Christian ethics. The Christian Judeo set of ethics and morals, following Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think in America, we have to think about everything in terms of Jesus. Why? First of all, \u00ef\u00bf\u00bclet us consider that America was founded by a protestant Christian, Quaker set of morals and ethics. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even Catholicism, specifically Roman Catholicism, being Roman Catholic is seen with suspicion. Was it John F. Kennedy who was the first and only Catholic president who was voted into office? Yet he was assassinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In America, especially we do not trust Jewish people. Why? Even though we forget that Christianity, is essentially Judaism 2.0, the moral precepts from Jesus of Nazareth was diametrically opposed to what the Jewish believed in.<br>\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<br>Jesus was the true radical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And when we watch films and movies and stuff, the funny thing is a lot of these morals and ethics are in fact Christian, maybe Jewish, maybe something up like. Walt Disney was anti-Jewish, and even if we think about the Dune movie, let us not forget that poet treaty, was probably named after Saint Paul. And even the matrix, Neo, the one\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 The savior, a Jesus Christ Messiah figure. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">STOMP<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We shall rule the empire together\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why sex matters<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apparently the other day, at the local yoga studio that I sometimes frequent, \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kneel and kiss<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe going to church or mass is a good idea \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unequal treatment?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have a blasphemous idea; perhaps we should treat women <em>superior<\/em> to men \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chivalry, knightly chivalry 2.0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Certainly equal rights is a good idea. Women and men should have equal voting privileges, etc. However, perhaps where we go south is when we think that morally and ethically, in terms of social interactions, we treat men and women \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<em>equally<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My radical idea is that perhaps instead, we men should treat women on a higher footing. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the sake of power?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">sexist?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lisan Al gaib<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Respect my throne<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Lead them to Paradise\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe the most interesting way to live your life is to treat your life as a radical experiment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Son<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you knew that your first born son, your son, was the best, and the best that shall ever ever be, and there would be no second, no second best,\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no second best. No such thing as a second best. If that were the case, how would you lead your life? \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think my whole life, ever since I was young, I always imagined having one boy, one daughter, very similar to how I was raised. \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was the older brother, and I had a younger sister. This was good for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After watching Dune II, \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc And thinking about the Iliad, Achilles and Homer, the like\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc maybe the whole second kid question, or having a daughter, might be like a Bogo. Great and wonderful to have, but not critical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This might be a good line of thinking, as you never wait for the second best.
