All boundaries must run somewhere. Libraries and other buildings should be sited on either one side or the other.
Mod
Like at Jericho? The important thing is to draw the boundary in the right place.
Mod
But Jericho? No recent recollections ancient human? ;)
I believe Jericho is still there. But I presume you mean something more recent ....Ah! Could it be Prez Trump and his proposed wall to keep the Mexicans out?
Mod
Not a History student I presume?
I did get history O-Level! Which wall are you thinking of?
Mod
WALL-E Perhaps?
Ah him! He is quite cute. But what is his girlfriend called?
Mod
Yes! A New Year quiz. Your starter for ten ....
Ah. Close, but no cigar! Actually she is EVE, described as "sleek, but dangerous".
Mod
Perhaps Eve was scapegoated for the bad business with the serpent and the apple. As Lady Salisbury said of Adam: "A shabby fellow indeed!".
Mod
The Gnostic version is that the wisdom of Sophia was breathed into Adam and Eve, and then the serpent gave Eve gnostic knowledge.Lady S was a colourful aristocrat of the 18th century.
Mod
I think so. For more info on the Gnostics, seeThe Gnostics: The First Christian Heretics by Sean Martin

Two men were arrested and accused of stealing the remains of military veterans from a Florida cemetery, in order to use them in religious practices, the authorities said. https://t.co/smjQhOsY3S
Re: Ancient pharaohs rowed the Nile. Now Egyptians have rediscovered the practice .....Rowing is of course a healthy activity. But they should be careful of the crocodiles.

Ha ha! I am too busy worrying about covid to worry about them.

I always had this question in mind, Did you ever apologize to someone for loving them too much?
Do you, at times, feel like you're just being too much that you have to apologize? Or, are you a firm believer that you should never apologize to anyone, including yourself, for having a genuine heart, and for loving deeply and widely?
Mod
There are all kinds of love Elie. Possibly not the same one experienced by each person simultaneously. It's lucky if you can connect perfectly, if not perhaps keep loving from a distance without an apology?

I honestly have a hard time whenever I try to love someone from a distance; But, to be honest, I rather keep a distance rather than to be with someone who'd make me feel guilty for who and for what I am. As you said, not everyone is supposed to tolerate our energy and we're supposed to connect with everyone, doesn't mean that we're too much or that we are, in any way, wrong.

Could not help but join in this invigorating discussion thread.Dear Elie, no one is worth fretting one's life over. Having said that what's 'loving widely'? Perhaps an apology is due after all.

I totally agree with you, had to learn it the hard way though.
To me, to love widely is to love without any limitations, to love someone in all of their states of mind, throughout their seasons and regardless. It takes a lot of love to be able to stay with someone and love deeply through it all.
To be honest, I'd never apologize for being unapologetically genuine to my own self and to how I express myself, nor for making the other person feel like it is too much. I would simply walk away whenever I feel that my heart is not welcomed anymore. I am a firm believer that not everyone is supposed to give us back the same energy we once gave or still give them, nor necessarily be appreciative or okay with who and with what we are.

Re: To me, to love widely is to love without any limitations, to love someone in all of their states of mind, throughout their seasons and regardless. It takes a lot of love to be able to stay with someone and love deeply through it all ....Well said Elie.
Love is
A hard task.
To do my best
Is all I ask.
