BOISliving

John Bois appears to be an amazing fellow. He was very intelligent, clever, smart, and was the best of the twelve Translators. Btu for me he was sick. His obsession for books and extreme dicipline are simply not wealthy. His eating habits and routine were not normal and could lead to obsessive personality. Now a days he would had been diagnosed with obsessive habits and would probably had to go to the pshycologist. He fasted twice a week, he ate only twice a day, he read every minute of the day, he didn't love his wife because she happened to be normal! He had no affection for his children, maybe for Mirabel only when she died. Bois, yes, he was gifted, he was a genious, knew prefect Hebrew and Greek and was able to read and write prefectly with both of the languages and probably with a few more, but what sense does it have to be such an extraordinary person when you have no emotional life? It makes no sense at all. Was he pleased with what he accomplished, was he satisfied with the life that he carried? I don't think so, his marriege has frustating and his social life was nule. he was full of debts and to the edge of being broken. Oh! Yes he was such a genious, uselessly.

Why do they make such an enfasis on the money? Whether Bois had paid or not, whether there was any record of the paying? I think it is a little bit off topic. But o take advantage of the issue, money is a controvercial concept. Some say that is not the first thing but comes before the second, other say that it is nothing. The truth is that in the world we live in money IS a crucial thing. There are some exceptions that live happily having very little money. But unfortunatly if money is not arround, very few things are reachable. On the other hand, life should be seen in other prespectives, being healthy is far more important than being rich. Having a reason to live is far more important than having the money to buy a BMW. At CNG, money is given too much importance, I will not forget that in the introction to High School assembly Mr. Mott asked us "what do you want to be in life, a BMW (opening his eyes and smiling) or a Honda (rolling his eyes and smiling ironicly) ?" If in a speech that is supposed to encourage us to be better persons, to have goals and reach them succesfully we are compered to car brands, then why the heck do they ask themselves how come CNG students are so materialistic? Here, the students, sadly including myself, judge other based on the type of cloths they wear, or where they bought them. It's absurd and yet so influencial.

God's Secretaries doesn't give any importance to God itself. It mainly talks about the Translators and their important duty tranforming an "ancient" text into a "modern" text. The Bible had an amazing power, it doesn't anymore as much as it did before. People have realised that the truth isn't written in this book, and that all the explenations aren't found there, but within ourselves. The Bible is the same thing as any other book, the difference is that it was given too much importance. Thing's value are not really what they are but the importance people give to them.
