sin has nothing to do with maturity, anyone can be prideful or lustful or egoistic. Its not like people sin for the sake of sinning.
No, but they sin because they stray from the rightful path, the path God paved, therefor they rebel against God, and are therefor juvenile.

God is the father, humans are the children that rebel through sin

So, they apparently found previously unknown parts of the Epic of Gilgamesh. Pretty cool.

Yeah people posted about it above already.
In other news I'm writing an 8-page report about the Black Death, and the sources I'm made to use has made me interested in the Decameron.
At the same time Im reading a historical fiction revolving around the Schola Medica Salernitana in my free time so I might try and pick something on that up.
Still reading "Marie Antoinette: The Journey" and I'm surprised Fersen doesn't have a book about him or something. His life was pretty crazy. He traveled a lot a met a ton of important figures, fought beside Washington, was a very close friend of both Marie (and might have been her lover) and Louis XVI, and overall seemed like he had a pretty cool (and entertaining) personality. Every time he's mentioned in the biography I can't help feel like he's a character out of fiction. Some of the anecdotes about him and Marie/Louis XVI, especially once the revolution started up, are quite touching.
A historical fiction novel about his life would be exciting, I think.
I dunno if this is the right place
But oh my god, it's so hard to try to get access to academic journals when i'm not american.
So so frustrating.
Is there a particular article you want?
I've mostly been trying to look in the Bibliography of Asian Studies (BAS) which seems to be the best place to look what all the journals on Asia are talking about
But it seems that i have to be an student from some American College to access it.

All I've heard is the rage of ppl
Though abandoned, forgotten, and scorned as out-of-date dolls, they continue to carry out their mission, unchanged from the time they were designed.
Machines do not lose their worth when a newer model appears.
Their worth (life) ends when humans can no longer bear that purity.

finished reading "marie antoinette: the journey"
it was good. the latter parts were pretty disturbing, like when princesse de lamballe was thrown to the streets, then had her head stuck on a pike and brought to marie's location because they wanted her to kiss the head of her 'lesbian lover'. or even just the slaughter at the tuileries palace. revolutionists were pretty fucked up.
anyway if GO marie really is a young version of marie, i wonder what the more motherly older version would be like. also i really wish fersen was in the nasuverse somehow, or marie at least mentioned him somewhere. he was a cool dude and incredibly important to her
no, thankfully she didn't end up seeing it
she did faint and feel really depressed when she heard them yelling though. it was sad
Oimoi, Euripides' Helen.
Scholar 1: This bears interesting relations to the comedic satyr-plays, rather than to true tragedy ...
Scholar 2: Though light-hearted, the Helen merely displays an unconventional mode of tragedy excised by Alexandrian archivists, and should be treated on its own merits within the genre ...
Scholar 3: In the Helen, we are confronted with a morally ambiguous story from start to finish ...
Scholar 4: The Helen is an intellectual tour-de-force, using layered allusion to question the nature and worth of war, glory, poetry, divinity, truth, and reality itself ...

Apparently there's a really good, new translation of Meditations out called the Emperor's Handbook. Maybe I'll get that shit for myself for Christmas.
