Let us start again

So I have written blogs in the past... and I never followed them!
Now I just seem to be surrounded by them... and I have learnt that there is something about sending your words into the open cyberspace in an effort to expose, process and re-organize your thoughts and feelings... or maybe not! Anyway, here I am giving it a new try.

I have started this blog with a new title that will inspire me... I am now living in The Bible Belt of the US, and it is really shocking for me to see the importance of religion for the people living here. In Europe things feel different, the religious ideology has been substituted by what we call ethic. Now, for me, the difference in between them, is that religion puts the evaluation of humans on a supra entity, and ethics hands it 'down' to humans. I don't want to ramble on, but for me this is essential, and perhaps that is why the billboards and messages that I see around this part of the world are so interesting to me. They are totally exotic and alien. It sometimes feel like I am in a muslim country like Morocco, kissing in the street is frowned upon. And in this part of the World, it sometimes feels similar. And I think to myself... what has religion got against love? Why is it about duty, and not so much about love.

The 10 Love Commandments by me:

1. You need to kiss your loved one.
2. You need to hold their hand
3. You need to look into their eyes
4. You need to talk to them honestly
5...
Well you get the gist of it... let's us focus on our internal desires and let us put duty aside.
