Acting Paradox

An acting teacher said that children or animals will steal the stage from adults.  They are not self-conscious. They are free and usually authentic. 

At the same time, life experience is the best acting teacher, allowing the actor to draw from emotions (often contradictory and complex)  people, and events for the art.

Female and Male Pain

Generally, men are physically stronger than women. Yet some at times complain while having a common cold, while women often experience childbirth with no anesthetics. So who is stronger?

Recently, I thought that Jesus Christ endured the cross. Yet his mother endured enormous pain, perhaps greater and for a longer time, while she watched him suffer and for years later. She was fully human in nature. Although she knew he was God, she must have suffered. Perhaps during her passing on August 15, when she saw him again, her pain was assuaged for a while. Then the cycle started again, much like we have crucifixions and resurrections.

Perhaps men can suffer more acutely, like during a boxing match or even a longer military battle, but women, who more encompass source energy, can take more pain longer.

I was reminded of the long-suffering of my grandmother Areti, who lsot her husband Aristomenis and son Petros during World War II.
