10th Border | What we never say cause it's private

Have you ever had a discussion that made you feel like the lyrics of Linkin Park song say: "I discovered I was not the only person with those things in mind?"


This post has to do with what we never discuss openly about Sex. I had an exciting discussion lately and understood that no matter if we discuss 24/7 about sex nobody gets to the point.

It seems probable to me that West-Cristiano civilization has created millions of taboos that seem to be a current reality. If we look time from a distance we can see that ethics was unfortunately a matter of religious perception and not a matter of intelligence and thinking.

We consider Human beings as progressed but I think that either we are just unable to think free or we are hypocrites.

A good example could be masturbation.

Who does talk about masturbation with friends?
Who does masturbate?

I never suggested to anyone to go out and tell in public about them private life, but my question is why we never share it with anyone? Why are we ashamed and why do we consider specific things as private?
Try, if you want, to have a chat with a friend of yours openly about your masturbation routines and you will see that pleasure can also be fun. 

9th Border | A matter of Respect



Our lives would be different if the word “Respect” would not exist. We wouldn’t leave our seats in the metro in order the elder to sit, we wouldn’t greet people with expressions reflecting health, we might never be standing up when professors were entering the place and we would eat all our food before dad reaches home.
Nevertheless, we all have thought about respect. The question I want to ask is: Should we expect others to respect us when we do not respect ourselves? Are we supposed to expect respect for our stuff, places, homes, cities, countries when we do not respect them?
