72. Confidence Is the Clothing for the Light Confidence is the clothing for the light, called “life.” There is a rule that there is no light without a Kli [vessel]. It follows that the light, called “light of life,” cannot clothe but must dress in some Kli. The Kli where the light of life is clothed is usually called “confidence.” It means that he sees that he can do every difficult

 Reading an article that mentioned the Duke of Edinburgh we looked at each other and wondered how that was. Surely he was dead. The husband of Queen Elizabeth was no longer living and we hadn’t heard anything about another person with the title.It turns out that the current Duke of Edinburgh is Prince Edward, the youngest brother of King Charles III.As a result of the title change, Prince

The origin of "gussied up" is unclear, but it probably stems from the American and Australian slang term "gussie," a nickname for an effeminate or weak man, or someone overly focused on appearance.And from there to the the adjective "Gussy" meaning overly dressed, which later became the verb "gussy up" (to dress or decorate elaborately) around 1906 in Canada and 1952 in the US.

 "If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you should feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction.

The intelligent man is not the man who holds such-and-such views but the man who has sound reasons for what he believes and yet does not believe it dogmatically. And opinions held for sound reasons have less emotional unity than the opinions of dogmatists because reason is non-party, favouring now one side and now

I blame the editors, I have for many years -- the ones who edit out our failings, our embarrassments, the faltering in the portrayal of our perfection. The result is that we don't want to look.Looking at the arc of history, we have become (at least in our own minds) individuals without community, relying on our own judgement in a sea of competing narratives. At the same time, we are filling up

 One will never ask about pleasure, "What is the purpose of this pleasure?" If even the smallest thought about its purpose appears in one's mind, it is a sign that this is not true pleasure, since pleasure fills all the empty places, and then of course there is no vacant place in the mind to ask about its purpose. If one does ask about its purpose, it is a sign that the pleasure is

 Passover (Pesach) is on the 15th night of the month of Nisan, which is the night of a full moon. The Hebrew calendar is lunisolar - months go by the phases of the moon around the Earth and years go by the orbit of the Earth around the Sun.Nowadays, when everyone knows the time wherever they are on the planet, Pesach could be celebrated on one night everywhere. But in the days when people

Something I read that led me to look up the Latin name for hummingbirds, I found the following interesting thread.The Latin name for the hummingbird family is Trochilidae, and it originates from the Greek word _trochilos_, meaning a small bird.  It's highly unlikely if no impossible that the Ancient Greeks used the word specifically for hummingbirds, since hummingbirds are native only to the

 The golden age of Mughal art lasted from about 1580 to 1650 and spanned the reigns of three emperors: Akbar, his son Jahangir and grandson Shah Jahan. Artists in the imperial workshops created a radically new and rapidly evolving style reflected in all the arts of the court. Akbar's grandfather Babur had invaded the Delhi sultanate in 1526.
