[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 741872, member: 18958"] But Elsi, isn't that kind of a good thing? I mean, when we used to agree on "facts" things were pretty oppressive for women. Would either you or I be living and experiencing the lives we have if we were still living according to the "facts" that were prevalent and dominant at the beginning of our lives with respect to gender roles, gender identity, racial inclusion and consensual as opposed to dictated reality or "facts"? What is there to do Elsi except for what you are doing? Which is the point, isn't it. And it could and may be getting way worse. We KNOW how bad this can get. Yesterday I heard again that saying, I don't remember where it is from...that ends "and then they came for me, and nobody was left." (To paraphrase.) So cool. Except for all of the work. I am in the 11th week of an online college class. It is dominating my life. But I think I will take the second semester. Because I think it is cool, too. This is my 4th language, but it is 100x harder because of the different alphabet and because it is so "foreign." It is based upon roots that get this: They are not just arbitrary signs that represent concepts. Hebrew letters and roots actually each correspond to essential physical things. Even emotions and concepts are based upon objective and physical referents. Like this one root I was just studying, one of the ways to say "praise." (There are like 7.) Well. This root is a symbol of a shepherd and his flock. And his hands are raised out into the sky, reaching up. And it means that he is opening to the guidance, to open to receive information from the Divine in order to know what to do, where to go. To me, this is so beautiful. And so very much represents where I want to go in my life. Which is receiving the Divine into myself. Hebrew is a ROOT language. It is so cool. Thank you, Elsi and SWOT. [/QUOTE]
