The Facts of an Alternative Life

Maybe We Should Talk......
Language is probably one of the most effective barriers to communication ever devised by mankind. Doubtless is was not meant to be this way - but we do all tend to say one thing, mean another and probably express a third. Sometimes a person is hard put to understand for which of the three he is being yelled at.
Certainly one occasionally wonders if the story of the tower of Babel is less of a parable and more an actual event.
If it is parable, then that is probably because God did not need to go to the trouble of all that confusion, noise and falling masonry since he already knew that scrambling man's ability to communicate verbally with his fellow person was almost as necessary as reminding us to breathe.
We do that on our own as well.
If the story is true, then clearly when the Almighty does something - he doesn't mess around and it stays done.
The GCL is an exploration of this concept as it happens in real life* on the small and sunny island of Cyprus. Enjoy, feel free to agree/disagree/be confused/fall asleep/finally discover the meaning of life or anything else that seems appropriate to you. You can even have a stab at contributing if you like.
In any event - enjoy :-)
*Whatever that is.

Skepsis - Thought(s)
(Read: 640 times)
It has been said that for a group as volatile as the Cypriot community, the use of the words for concepts such as “apologize”, “embarrassed” and “thought” is so rare that including them in the lexicon could be construed as an attempt at an embarrassment of riches for which the editorial team should think of apologizing.
