pansophist: What is the best book you've read? |
Re: Where Do You Find Pleasure Apart From Drinking, Smoking And Sexual Activities ? by pansophist(m): 11:15pm On Nov 14, 2023 |
whitejs: The Bible. Hence, it is one of the oldest books on earth, and most sold. Try reading Genesis to Revelation. Read with intent, to understand, especially from an etymological angle. For example take Mathew 5.5, which says that the meek shall inherit the earth. The word ''meek'' is widely misunderstood to mean gentle. In the English dictionary, it means gentle, submissive, and quiet. But the true meaning of the word meek has been lost in translation. If you go back to the root (etymology) of that word, it was translated from Greek which roughly means that ''he who has his sword sharpen, can use them, but keep it sheathed, will inherit the earth''. Meek simply means restraint, controlled strength, a soldier, one who has a monopoly of violence but uses it only for good deeds. A gentleman cannot inherit the earth because a gentleman will always be at the mercy of a man who is not gentle and doesn't give a damn about being evil. Real-life example - A sheep is gentle, but that sheep will always be at the mercy of a lion's jaw. But a tiger is generally avoided by a lion. Another example. During the Iraq war, George Bush warned President Saddam Hussein and his son to vacate Iraq in 48 hours. Imagine warning a president of a country to leave his country. To where? But that's why the meek in English translation can't inherit the earth. He was later hanged by the American court, and all this happened to him because he was weak. He has no means to fight or defeat America. Now take odogwu Putin or even Kim Jung of N. Korea. Those ones have nuclear weapons. They have the means to turn the US to ashes. Biden warned Putin not to invade Ukraine, but Putin ignored him and invaded. They are constantly testing it and warning America that they will bomb the US to ashes, and America cant tell them to leave their country like they did with Iraq. SO thats another example. So you see, that is just one example of how to understand the bible. It is filled with lots of stories that if you understand it wholistically, it may easily become your favorite book. 14 Likes 1 Share |

pansophist: Great! Thanks for the explanation. Well, I get your point, but I think America should be the meek one here (restraint, controlled strength) Russia to me, if given the chance would destroy the world without control - I think they are the opposite of meek (restraint, controlled strength). I think the US has that controlled strength / A monopoly of violence but uses it only for good deeds. The US ended the Second World War. They act as checks to certain nations and evil acts. What do you think? Yeah so, After the Bible, what is the next best book you've read? |

I love watching movies I love football. I follow my team, Arsenal, keenly. I love music, gospel music, I enjoy staying long hours at the rehearsals in the church or when hubby and I do more rehearsals at home, he on his guitar or moments when he mounts his keyboard and we do music till late into the night. I love gisting with hubby too. We never run out of things to discuss. I love shopping too. Market time is happy time for me. There was a time I used to go to this Idumota, Balogun market everyday, just like to buy things. |
