... he deposits his fifty dollars, they give him only four hundred and fifty Hong Kong dollars. "Money fluctuations..." explains the bank clerk, "it goes up and down all the time." When Wu returns the next week, he puts down his fifty dollars and is told that he will get four hundred Hong Kong dollars in exchange. "Hmmm!" says Wu. "Flucked again!" Fiona Feelgood...
... Marilyn, two retired schoolteachers from Chicago, save up all their money to go on safari in Africa. They are having a wonderful time going through the jungle, when suddenly a huge gorilla swings down out of the trees, sweeps Marilyn into his arms, and disappears. He takes her back to his cave, and for a week makes love to her all day and night. Finally, Audrey organizes a rescue party, and Marilyn is...
.... So also if you say that these statements apply only where no money was given25 whereas where money was given, this would not be so,26 come and hear: 'For hamas27 [the violence] against the children of Judah because they have shed innocent blood in their land.' Again, should you say that these statements refer only to a case where a robbery was directly committed by hand whereas...
...] as [the following difference between] the Tannaim [of our Mishnah]: R. JUDAH SAYS: WHATSOEVER HAS IN IT SOMETHING UNUSUAL MUST BE ANNOUNCED, AS, FOR INSTANCE, IF ONE FINDS A ROUND [OF FIGS] CONTAINING A POTSHERD, OR A LOAF CONTAINING MONEY. This implies that the first Tanna [of the Mishnah] holds that these articles belong to the finder [in spite of their unusual feature].9 Now the prevalent...
.... The first Tanna will say that as it is liable to be trodden on and to disappear it is not a valid mark, and R. Judah will say that as long as the mark is there it is valid. This accounts for the need of announcing home-made loaves. Such as money found in home-made loaves. Which explains the ruling of R. Judah in our Mishnah. V. p. 143. n. 7. According to which the difference of opinion between the...
... does not effect a title. But the Rabbis objected that since it was enacted that the watcher must receive four zuz, if he foregoes it and it goes into the public funds, these now include four zuz of private money, and when later on animals are bought therewith for communal sacrifices, such as the daily burnt offerings and the Sabbath and Festival Additional offerings, instead of being paid for by...
... public funds, as they should be, they are partly paid for by private money (Rashi.) From Palestine to Babylon. Lit., 'the carrier carries it out, and he who applies it must apply it' — i.e., it may not be left in the street for any length of time, but must be taken straight to the fields. Rashi: the clay was run into moulds and allowed to dry and harden into bricks. This may not be done in a...
... [it] in fire.'16 If so, it is the same as 'it was burnt!' And then, what can you say with regard to 'she hid [it]?'17 And furthermore, why [mention] 'she lost [it]'?18 — But [this is what the Baraitha means]: if she lost it, it is as if she had hidden it before us, and we do not give her [the kethubah money] until witnesses say [that] her kethubah document has been burnt.19...
... shows that a kethubah document was written. And she cannot produce it any more. If she hid it, she can produce it. As 'she lost (it)' is mentioned separately, it cannot mean 'in fire'. This means that if 'she lost' it or 'she hid' it. she does not get the kethubah money unless she finds the document and produces it. If she says 'it was burnt,' she must produce witnesses that it was burnt. This answer...
... USED TO GO ON SABBATH. He holds that the [Sabbath] limits25 are Rabbinical. A MAN IS NOT BELIEVED WHEN HE SAYS: THAT MAN HAD A WAY IN THIS PLACE, SO-AND-SO HAD A PLACE OF STANDING UP AND LAMENTATION IN THIS PLACE. What is the reason? Money we do not extract.26 Our Rabbis taught:27 A boy is believed when he says, 'Thus my father told me: this family is clean. this family is unclean. &mdash...
...? This is extracting money?34 — But [it refers] to the first clause. In all these cases, if he was a heathen and he became a proselyte, a slave and he was set free, he is not believed. R. Johanan b. Beroka says: He is believed. In what [principle] do they differ? — The first Tanna holds: Since he was a heathen he would not pay special attention to it,35 and R. Johanan b. Beroka...
... honour of the Sabbath. Lit., 'Chaldeans'. It will eventually pass into his possession. R. Tam translates: vessels. This, of course is an exaggeration, and merely implies much money, 'thirteen' often being used figuratively in that sense, cf. supra p. 585, n. 6; Hul. 95b (Rashi). I.e., expends money in its honour. The verb denotes to obtain through merit. E. V. 'Thou shalt surely tithe', Deut. XIV, 22...
... example, if in the dark night of your soul you have an idea that when the morning comes, money will shower from the sky: when the sun rises, everybody will become rich. And then in the morning when the sun rises, how can you accept that this is the sun? - because the money is not falling and everybody has not become rich, people are still poor. And you go on looking at the sky and no money is coming...
.... And because you are too concerned with the money, you don't see what is coming from the sun - the light, the life, the ecstasy. You cannot see that because your eyes are completely covered with your prejudice, with your idea. And then you ask 'Who is this Jesus Christ?' You already know how the Messiah should be. That is hindering, that is an obstruction. That's why the Jews missed. It was for this...
... human. He was very human, utterly human. He was a total man. He was not a perfectionist. When it was needed to be angry he became really angry. He threw the money-changers out of the temple and he said to them 'What are you doing here in my Father's home, in my Father's temple? Get out from here!' And he was in such a rage, that alone, single-handed, he threw many people outside. He loved people. He...
.... Now the questions.... Question 1: The first question: ACCORDING TO YOUR VISION, WHAT EXACTLY IS COMMUNISM? Communism simply means moving private property into the hands of the collective -- because private ownership of property creates classes, the oppressed and the oppressors. Money brings more money, attracts more money; poverty attracts more poverty. And a man who sees all around him people...
... having money, beautiful houses, cars, and he has not even food to eat... his dignity as a human being is destroyed. He starts feeling subhuman, inferior, unsuccessful, and to create this feeling in millions of people just for the sake of a few who will be rich is against the whole of humanity. Communism brings dignity to everybody because all the properties, the land and everything, belong to the...
... who has been raped? The criminal is forgiven -- and the victim? Not a single theologian of any religion has ever thought, "What about the victim who has suffered?" A man kills someone and he goes to the priest and he is forgiven. He goes to the Ganges, gives some money to the priest, takes a dip, and he is forgiven. What about the murdered? God does not seem to be just. He is in favor of...
... looks so primitive, so ugly, so inhuman; but these millions of people.... And these are not the only people: millions more will be sitting in front of their television. It seems the whole humanity is somehow after power. So whoever shows some power of any kind: power of money, power of body, power of politics, position, status, anything.... Sheela has just brought to me two days ago the news that...
... he will win. And he has been chosen just because he has status and people worship him. So it is impossible for anybody to stand against him. And he has money, so he will give money to the election campaign, as much as they want. People are not conscious of what they are doing. Now the people who are going to vote for this man, will you call them human beings? Perhaps Kinky is far more intelligent...
... than the man who goes on playing with him: he is an utter idiot. He has not done anything else in his life; but just to belong to a royal family is enough. And he has money, and money is power. Perhaps he may become a cabinet minister. You are in your unconscious mind when you are fast asleep with no dreams. Freud had reached the unconscious just by analyzing dreams. If you are on the right track and...
