    Joan Baez - Love Is Just A Four Letter Word

    ^
    i know there's a section about love etc.

    But this is a subject that I was discussing with mich
    and it started right here :

    the Hatfields and McCoys

    There is a legend that these two families feuded so long that they forgot what they were feuding about

    Two of the members of the fued was a hatfield and McCoy became friends and had to see eachother secretly

    Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas
    With Waylon and Willie and the boys
    This successful life we're livin' got us feudin'
    Like the Hatfield and McCoys
    Between Hank Williams' pain songs and
    Newberry's train songs and Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain
    Out in Luckenbach, Texas ain't nobody feelin' no pain

    and we reached here :

    the fued as I think I Mentioned went on longer than most remember why they were at odds and many of the young ones saw it made no sense at all

    then

    some claim the folk legends reflect a lot of things that we see in our societies on the net

    ...we have to admit that love has become a four letter word

    When posting a poem we are bound to get more attention posting it in the love poem section
    yet the members message forum is bound to attract more discussion

    Many mystics have thought outside the box to find the common ground where myths and fact meet

    A myth is something that is true subjectively whether it is rooted in history or human nature

    Thus Eros is more popular than just plain poems about life

    It seems when we compartmentalize we are stuck in a rut

    Well..we are stuck in rut and misconceptions..

    A myth is something that is true subjectively whether it is rooted in history or human nature
    ^true..it must have had a source of inspiration anyway

    That is true in folklore, Greek mythology, or even the translations of the ancient scriptures in the Qur'an, Torah or Bible

    I heard that Jesus is mentioned as a phrophet in the Qu'ran
    The many faces of love is best for me expressed in this song
    JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR - I Don't Know How To Love Him

    Lol..but weren't we leaning toward corruption in our societies..what about that '

    >what's the reason..even reasonS

  • Michael D Nalley

    The corruption, in my opinion ,has to do with the lack of tolerance

    "I have learned silence from the talkative, tolerance from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strangely, I am ungrateful to these teachers"
    Kahlil Gibran quotes

    It is easier to follow our folktales than to ask questions even if they reflect the power of doubt, despiar and hate over the theological virtures of faith hope and divine love that seems more romantic than real in today's society

    Darkness in truth is nothing compared to the natural order of our pure conscience

    Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Darkness in truth is nothing compared to the natural order of our pure conscience

    as in ..?

  • Michael D Nalley

    As in darkness is just the absence of light
    wrong is just the absence of right
    I should quit before someone accuses me of forcing my rhyme or reason on them

    The undisputed truth is either diluted or poluted
    and we as judges are dim dimmer and dimmest
    The truth is over our heads or to deep in our roots to stem from all four ancient elements as viewed with narrow minds

    Our Society should not be opposed to a truth and the truth should not be, or have to be recreated and paraphrased to make truth original in many tongues. Truth should be constantly rifined

    Muhammad, Islam's Prophet, believed Jesus was sent by Allah to be the Messiah, miraculously born of the Virgin Mary, who brought the Gospel, who died, was raised from the dead, then ascended into heaven to be with Allah. Jesus would become an everlasting blessing to all mankind!

    Is this true?

    We can use religion or ancient text to say that God has given societies the right to enslave natives hindu or buddhist monks Et cetera

    Sophia Greek for "wisdom

    Sunhine is a great metaphor for pure truth
    philosophia), which literally means "love of wisdom",
    Merton's writings on Sophia, in particular his prose poem Hagia Sophia, as the key to his mature Christology

    How dare anyone speak of purity on this dirty earth

    I was born in the hills like the families with conflict though I have read of the cedars of lebonon in ancient scripture

    Sunshine

    Much too beautiful to criticize
    forgive me while I fantasize
    On the cedars of Lebanon
    her name is softly engraved
    in my mind her light is saved

    Light=Truth
