Aung San Suu Kyi, Let her go free !

“The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who in times of great moral crises maintain their neutrality” - Alighieri Dante



I hate oppression; I hate bullying. And I totally distrust governments which rulers push their people around and trample them underfoot.  See what's happening over there in Burma. 

This courageous woman named Aung San Suu Kyi is a well known human rights activist and because she has stepped on the toes of the heavy-handed goons who run the Burmese so-called government, she's imprisoned.  We who live in free countries must intervene for those who cannot successfully enforce their right to enjoy freedom.

We are not to remain neutral.  Let us all join this noble effort for freedom sake. I strongly urge all of us to visit this very worthy website, http://www.64forsuu.org/aboutassk.php, and seek in what way you can partake of this human rights mission not just for her but for all humankind.

The Appointment, a song by Leonardo Favio

Lesson experiences are often narrated in songs, especially in songs about romantic love turned sour as the result of cheating.  This one, a beautifully sung reproach-song, is one of them. However, it isn't just about the offended cheat spouse or lover who got burned.  It talks about a cheating wife or girlfriend who's on a rendevous with some mysterious lover but she's just walked into a major surprise. There's no violence but there is shock.  The lyrics below narrate the story of this encounter.

Come on in and sit down quietly
Finally you're here
Now imagine that I am not me but
another man, the one you expected to see
A stranger who has written you a verse
and drew for you, on a piece of paper, the Moon
An improvised lover,. a mysterious passionate one
He set up for you an appointment at this hotel
Undress yourself now and turn off light
and make me love as you do with these lovers
I swear that today is the last time
that you make fun of me,  that you deceive me
my hands wrote you the letter
and were my fingers that put up the trap
My heart cries on the inside out of  sorrow, and out in pity
but I leave you and I go forever... forever
It was my hands that wrote you the letter
It was my fingers that put up the trap
Come in, sit quietly
Finally you're here and you you can't imagine
that I am not another man that you expect to see
 A stranger to you to written a verse
and draw for you the  moon on a piece of paper
an improvised  lover improvised, a mysterious passionate one
I set up the appointment in this hotel
Now undress,turn off the light instantly
and make me love as you do with these lovers
I swear that today is the last time
that you make fun of me, that you deceive me
It was my hands that wrote you the letter
and it was my  fingers that  set you the trap
and it's now my heart which cries out of pity and sorrow                                     
on the inside; but I leave you and I go forever... forever
My hands that you wrote you the letter
And my fingers that set up the trap...

Great Reasons for www.lessons-uncensored.blogspot.com

I felt reluctance when I was considering creating http://www.lessons-uncensored.blogspot.com/ since it would be a no-holds-barred blog. Why would a born-again Christian blogger like me create an uncensored blog like that and attach my name to it?

There are darknesses that show truth. There are things that must be learnt that must include dark, embarrassing nudity and violence and sometimes sex.  The human heart attempts to hide much but what is hidden must be exposed if hearts are to be saved from breaking and lives kept from being lost.

The truth is raw, uncensored, and no respecter of people.  Each of us will eventually die or be raptured and then be judged before Jesus Christ.  A tape of our lives will be played in front of everybody.  All the good, bad, ugly, raunchy, clean, filthy will be aired.  Stuff you hoped that no one would ever see you in will be exposed.  No matter how much you protest, the tape will continue to run until it's done.  It may be embarrassing to you to be seen in such a stark situation or scene. 

Aside from that, the judgement, the truth often comes out in unprepared for situations.  And it's naked.  And some lessons will not be taught to you in squeaky clean classrooms but in utter darkness or semi darkness.  You often learn lessons and life experiences in the most compromising scenes and in places you'd be the last to call a school. 

There's darkness in evil. However, there's darkness in truth when the truth illuminates it.

And lessons taught in darkness and learnt in darkness expose the depths leaving no excuse of ignorance.  Therefore, lessons uncensored are lessons taught in scenes that are not nice to be seen in: scenes of darkness when the innermost spiritual and hidden stuff comes out and exposes itself. 

Thus Lessons Uncensored which contains some nudity and darkness is a necessity as a lesson.
