The love=passion fallacy / La falacia de amor = pasión

Eric Fromm already busted the fallacy of love equals passion, less than a hundred years ago. Yet, we mixed up these two concepts, over and over again. Perhaps we should read a little more, mijo.

Nature of desire / Naturaleza del deseo

Acting on desire will likely mess up things, big time. Should we give up desiring then?

What does an outstanding Toastmaster look like? 

I wrote this little -but heartfelt- three-minutes tribute to a dear fellow Toastmaster, Hilary, of the Bartlesville Club in Oklahoma in January 2014. I keep exceptional memories of my Toastmasters friends.

Does love ever die? / Muere el amor alguna vez?

Energy can be transformed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed. Can we say the same of love?

Rubaiyats / Las Rubaiatas

In the mid 80’s, I stumbled upon the “Rubayaits” by Omar Khayyam, a poet who lived in the 12th century Persia. These poems are not about love but they do speak of the transience of things – just what young passionate lovers need to hear. Thirty years later (and a waning passion), this little reading gem still rings true to me.
