To let it go in one ear and out the other

I WAS interviewing a jeweler for a story I was writing on giving new life to old jewelry, and I asked him to tell me about his most memorable client. "It was a divorced woman who had me make a pair of earrings from her inscribed wedding band," he recalled. "One earring read, 'with all' and the other, 'my love.' "When I asked why she had wanted it done that way, she answered, 'To remind me the next time anyone said that to me, to let it go in one ear and out the other.'"

A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping the other monks in copying the old canons and laws of the church by hand.

He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies, not from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the head abbot to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small error in the first copy, it would never be picked up! In fact, that error would be continued in all of the subsequent copies.

The head monk, says, "We have been copying from the copies for centuries, but you make a good point, my son."

He goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery where the original manuscripts are held as archives in a locked vault that hasn't been opened for hundreds of years. Hours go by and nobody sees the old abbot.

So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him. He sees him banging his head against the wall and wailing,

"We missed the "R" ! , We missed the "R" !"

His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying uncontrollably. The young monk asks the old abbot, "What's wrong, father?"

With a choking voice, the old abbot replies, "The word was...

CELEBRATE!!!"

Too many temptations?

IMHO, women do have power over men. What is critical is how and for what they use it. They do not have to legally rule the world. They do not have to be malicious or vicious to "rule" the world. G-D gave them plenty of power to influence.

So why are women not "ruling" the world? Why are they part of the "temptations" of the world?

I have found that many women are just clueless and have very low esteem. If you are a true religious woman who values Torah the blueprint of life, get someone truly knowledgeable about what the Torah says about women and you will never have to look back.

If you do not value the advice of Torah, find someone who does value Torah and have them share the wisdom of Torah to help you become a true person and a true influence.
