More From Mignon McLaughlin

May this marriage be blessed.may this marriage be as sweet as milk and honey.may this marriage be as intoxicating as old wine.may this marriage be fruitful like a date tree.may this marriage be full of laughter and everyday a paradise.may this marriage be a seal of compassion for here and hereafter.may this marriage be as welcome as the full moon in the night sky.listen lovers, now you go on, as i become silent and kiss this blessed night.
Love Sweet Laughter
Diversity on the bench is critical. as practitioners, you need judges who 'get it!' we need judges who understand what discrimination feels like. we need judges who understand what inequality feels like. we need judges who understand the subtleties of unfair treatment and who are willing to call it out when they see it!
Judging Diversity Needs
Marriage is so unlike everything else. there is something even awful in the nearness it brings. even if we loved someone else better than - than those we were married to, it would be no use. i mean, marriage drinks up all our power of giving or getting any blessedness in that sort of love. i know it may be very dear, but it murders our marriage, and then the marriage stays with us like a murder, and everything else is gone.
Mean Giving Would Be
I think the judging process is full of integrity, compared to some other prizes around the world. the fact that they change the panel of judges every year keeps it from becoming corrupt. i think it's very difficult if you've got judges for life; obviously relationships are cultivated between judges and authors, and publishing houses.
Change Integrity Thinking
Same-sex marriage is so ingrained in the culture now that when you're talking about regular, good old-fashioned marriage, you have to say "opposite-sex marriage" to let people know what you're talking about. just describing, just talking about "marriage" doesn't let anybody know what you mean anymore. you have to specify opposite-sex marriage.
Sex Mean Talking
Like the vast majority of americans, i've opposed same-sex marriage, but i've also opposed unjust discrimination against anyone, for racial or religious reasons, or for sexual preference. americans are a tolerant, generous, and kind people. we all oppose bigotry and disparagement. but the debate over same-sex marriage is not a debate over tolerance. it is a debate about the purpose of the institution of marriage and it is a debate about activist judges who make up the law rather than interpret the law.

But, if we explore the literature of heroism, we shall quickly come to plutarch, who is its doctor and historian. to him we owe the brasidas, the dion, the epaminodas, the scipio of old, and i must think we are more deeply indebted to him than to all the ancient writers. each of his "lives" is a refutation to the despondency and cowardice of our religious and political theorists. a wild courage, a stoicism not of the schools, but of the blood, shines in every anecdote, and had given that book immense fame.

Even today i am not ashamed to say that, overpowered by stormy enthusiasm, i fell down on my knees and thanked heaven from an overflowing heart for granting me the good fortune of being permitted to live at this time.

The good lord made this world and everything that's in it. the way i see it, baby, you got to love it to the limit.

Compassion is something really worthwhile. it is not just a religious or spiritual subject, not a matter of ideology. it is not a luxury, it is a necessity.
