- bigstrat2003 2y agoVirtuous people are rare*, therefore their love must be equally rare. * It was revealed to me in a dream
- slowhadoken 2y agoI had a dream the other night about David Hume’s irrational life.
- troad 2y agoDefinitely. I can't help but be slightly amused at the choice of words though, given "virtuous" comes from the Latin for "manly" (vir = man). The love of a virtuous man is wonderful too.
- slowhadoken 2y agoFeminism was built on the rejection of women being thought of as the “weaker sex” and that women are “equal to men”. For 176 years women have used men as the benchmark for value. Not a lot of self-acceptance in that scheme. That’s ironic.
- mukara 2y agoThe story of Turia, with all sorts of terrible hardships she endured, is told in the second episode [1] of a BBC Radio 4 series [2] called "Being Roman" by the English classicist Mary Beard. The series wonderfully contextualizes the Roman empire and its cultural mix in 8 episodes (~30 minutes each). It uses stories of six individuals from different walks of life; from the emperor Marcus Aurelius, to a (possibly enslaved) child prodigy, to a traveling Syrian man who gets married on Hadrian's wall to an enslaved English girl around 2nd century CE.
