Burton Triad Bindinger

"The plurality of faiths is the translation of the uniqueness divine


Today my rhetoric is won. Before the discovery of this story, I can only bearmi to share it with those who will want to read it.
Excerpt from "The parable of the Rings" - Act III, Scene V and VII in "Nathan the Wise", 1779 GE Lessing

Scene V
Nathan and Saladin


SALADIN
Come, jew! - Still. - Closer. Fear not.
NATHAN
you theme your enemy.
SALADIN
Your name is Nathan?
NATHAN
Yes

...
SALADIN
What I am asking for your teaching is very different, very different. - You who are so wise, tell me, once and for all - what is faith, what is the law for you any more convincing?
NATHAN
Sultan, I am jew.

SALADIN
And I'm Muslim. And among us there is a Christian. - But one of these three religions can be true. - A man like you do not stand still where he put the case of birth or, if there is, it does so with good reason, for the reasons, why he chose the best. Then 'to me your reasons! Let me know the grounds on which I have not had time to reflect. Reveal - means, in confidence - a choice born of those reasons, so I can make it my own. - What? You hesitate? I weighed up the look? It may be that I'm the first sultan who has such a whim, but I do not seem worthy of a sultan. - Do you? - Speak then! Tell me!

...

Scene VII
Nathan and Saladin

SALADIN
... Speak, then! Nobody listens to us.
NATHAN
who listen to us well the whole world.
SALADIN
Up to this point, Nathan is sure of himself? Ah, this name is to be wise! Never hide the truth. To stake everything for it. The freedom and life, property and blood.
...
NATHAN
... But before we fully confide, permit me sultan, to tell a little story?
SALADIN
Why not?
...
...
NATHAN
Many years ago a man in the East, owned a priceless ring, an expensive gift. The stone, an opal with a hundred beautiful colored reflections, has a secret power: it makes grateful to God and men bring anyone with confidence. Be surprised if it did not drop anything from his finger, and if so ordered him to stay forever in your house? He left the ring to his most beloved son, and he wrote that in turn the son to leave him to his most beloved son, and that every time become the most beloved children, regardless of birth, but only by virtue of ' ring, the leader and the ladies of the house. -You follow me, Sultan?

SALADIN
I follow you. Go ahead.
NATHAN
And the ring as well, from son to son, came to an end to a father of three children. All three equally obeyed, and he could not do without them, loved them all equally. Only from time to time one or the other seemed the most worthy of the ring - when she was with him alone, and no one else shared the affection of his heart. So, with loving weakness, he promised the ring to all three. It went on so long as he could. - But, near death, this father is embarrassed. Offend so two children, trusting in his word, sad. - What should I do? - He secretly called a jeweler, and orders two rings around his equal, and he exhorted them to save money or effort because they are perfectly equal. The artist succeeds. When you bring him, not even the father is able to distinguish the ring true. Felice called the children one by one, gives all three his blessing to all three gives the ring - and dies. - You hear me, Sultan?

SALADIN
listen. But soon as you finish your story. - Are you there?
NATHAN
I've already finished. What follows is understood by itself. - The death of his father, each child comes forward with his ring, every child wants to be the lord of the house. We quarrel, we investigated, are accused of. In vain. Impossible to prove what the ring true - almost like for us to prove what it is - the true faith.
SALADIN
How? This is your answer to the question ...?

NATHAN
Valga only to apologize, if I dare not try to distinguish the rings that the father had done precisely that it was impossible to distinguish them.
SALADIN
rings! - Do not make fun of me! - The religions that we have appointed can be distinguished even in clothes, in food, beverages!
NATHAN
And yet in the fundamentals. - Not all are based on the story, written or handed down? And the story only by faith and allegiance must be accepted, is not it? - And what faith and loyalty I would doubt that less of each other? That of Our ancestors, the blood of our blood, the childhood of those who gave us proof of their love, and never deceive us, if the ruse was healthy for us? - Can I believe my fathers unless you your? Or vice versa? - Perhaps I can pretend that you, not to contradict my fathers, your accusing of lying? Or vice versa? And the same goes for Christians, is not it?

SALADIN
(For the living God You're right. I have to mute).
NATHAN
But back to our rings. As I said, the children accused in court. And each swore to the court to have received the ring from the hand of the Father (which was true), and much time before the promise of the privileges granted the ring (which was true, too). - His father, everyone said it certainly could not have deceived the first to suspect this, he said, as good of a father, could not accuse his brothers of deception, of which he himself had always been ready to think the whole good, and they said sure you find out the traitors and ready to take revenge.
SALADIN
And the judge? - I am anxious to hear what will you say to the judge. Speak!

NATHAN
The judge said, Take now your father here, or you will drive out of my sight. Think he's here to solve puzzles? Or do you want to stay until the ring real talk? - Ma .. wait! You say that the ring has real magic power to make loved, grateful to God and to men. This is to decide! The rings can not fake. Come on, tell me which of you is the most loved by the other two? - Next! You speak? The effect is only reflective of the rings, not transitive? Each of you just loves himself? Then all three are con artists scammed! Your rings are forged all three. Probably the real ring was lost, and your father made it to three for concealing the loss and to replace it.

...
NATHAN
If you do not want, "continued the judge, take my advice and not a sentence, go! - But my advice is this: accept things as they are. Everyone took the ring from his father, everyone is sure that it is authentic. - Your father, perhaps, was no longer willing to tolerate in his house again the tyranny of a single ring. And of course you loved all three equally. He would not, in fact, humiliating two of you for a favor. - Come on! Strive to imitate his love incorruptible and without bias. Each side competed to show the light of day because of the stone in her ring. And aid her power with gentleness, with indomitable patience and charity, and with deep devotion to God When the virtues of the rings appear grandchildren, nieces and grandchildren, I invite them to return to court, including thousand years. Sit on my seat as a wiser man than me, and talk. Go! - He said that a modest court.

Frauenbilder In Spandex

The woman, an eternal spring


The temptation stronger, since the dawn of this day, is to scream from the rooftops that the mimosa trees of fire would give so much anger. What has become stupid humanity: men - arrogant, weak, whoremongers, sincere, conformity, love, indifference - who knock on doors to women - feminist, lost, wives, strong daughters, whores - "sincerely" affected by the usual gesture mimosa yellow passed from hand to end up forgotten. And all in chorus, to remind us that the journey is long, but the road is already well on the equality of the sexes, since that far away in March 8, 1908 cui129 workers died in the Cotton Textile Factory in New York.

I have the bad habit of reading, a lot, maybe too much. And so, long ago, I have come across a text - confirmed in several places by the United Nations - which tells a different story. Less noisy, less "dramatic", but no less important, less dramatic. And I understand why, even today, women live on the margins of our society: in 2010 speak of "conquering" and "fight", to "come" without a clue - Obviously not true for everyone - that determines the winning possession, which includes the fight an enemy that must get to know where to start.

Then I want to suggest where to start. Helping to clear a myth: the burning of a factory there was exactly the Triangle, March 25, 1911, incident, incident, killed 149 workers, almost all Italian and Jewish, trapped because the doors were closed Key to prevent women can get off to demonstrate. But it has nothing to do with International Women's Day.
Apparently, all stem from the "Woman's Day celebrated May 3, 1908 in Chicago during the conference held as per Sunday by the Socialist Party, Corinne Brown spoke of the exploitation operated by employers against women workers in terms of low wages and hours of labor, gender discrimination and voting rights to women.
that initiative did not follow immediately, but at the end of the American Socialist Party urged all local branches' to reserve the last Sunday in February 1909 for organizing a demonstration in favor of women's right to vote '. So it was that the United States and the first official Women's Day was celebrated on February 28, 1909.

In 1910, the Socialist delegation in U.S. decided to propose to the second International Conference of Socialist Women, held in Folkets Hus (House of the People) in Copenhagen August 26 to 27, to establish a common day dedicated to the vindication of the rights of women. While the U.S. continues to be held the last Sunday of February in Europe Women's Day was held for the first time March 19, 1911 at the option of the Secretariat of the International Socialist Women. But it was not celebrated in all countries was held in Russia for the first time in St. Petersburg in 1913, 3 March, and was interrupted by the Tsarist police that operated numerous arrests. In Germany it was held for the first time on 8 March 1914, date of commencement a "Red Week" proclaimed by the German socialists of unrest, while in France held a conference organized by the Socialist Party in Paris, March 9, 1914.

The celebrations were interrupted by World War I in all the belligerent countries, while in St. Petersburg, 8 March 1917, the women of the capital led a large demonstration which demanded an end to war: the sluggish reaction of the Cossacks sent to repress The protest, encouraged further protests that led to the collapse of Tsarism, now completely discredited and even without the support of the armed forces, so that the 8 March 1917 has remained in history to indicate the beginning of "Revolution Russia in February. " For this reason, and to fix a common day for all countries, 14 June 1921 the Second international conference of Communist women, held in Moscow a week before the opening of the Third Congress of the Communist , March 8, stared at the "International Day of the worker." In Italy the International Women's Day was held for the first time only in 1922 on the initiative of the Communist Party of Italy, who wanted to celebrate March 12 as the first Sunday after the now fateful March 8. The strong political connotation

Women's Day, the political isolation of Russia and the communist movement and, finally, the events of World War II, contributed to the loss of historical memory of the real origins of the event. So after the war began to circulate fanciful versions.
On 8 March 1945, the UDI - Union of Italian Women - took the initiative to celebrate the first day of women in the zones of freedom. A year later, on 8 March was celebrated throughout the country and saw the first appearance of its symbol, the mimosa that blooms just at the beginning of March. However, the applicant still did not get the public hearing until, with the seventies, there appeared a new phenomenon in Italy, the feminist movement.
1975 was designated as "International Year of Women" by the United Nations on March 8, women's organizations around the world just celebrated the International Women's Day, with events honoring the advancement of women and recalled the need for continued vigilance to ensure that their equality was achieved and maintained in all aspects of civic life. From that year the United Nations also recognized in 8 March, the day dedicated to women.

March 8th is the only reminder of a distant day in which thousands of brave women have begun to change the course of history. Bringing it back to its origins, when a man and a woman were the meat of the other, the two halves of a single indivisible entity in the soul.
On March 8, what is the point if it is lived today as it claims, conquest, struggle? What value can never offer if only for a day, women seek to live their individuality when all the rest of love lost and hidden inside a man's world?
Being a woman is complex, it is difficult, but if the Lord has given her the honor and burden of motherhood there is a reason. This will stand out, always and forever, man.
worth fighting and winning and get to take his place? For cloning in the disaster made thousands of years?

Were women asked to give up the mimosas in place, because it is wonderful to see the dirty yellow walls of the world. They know that spring. They know just as women: an eternal spring.
