Giuoco Piano

Centuries Ago, the Italians dubbed these three classical moves as the Giuoco Piano, which translates to quiet (or soft) game. In some countries it is called instead the Italian Game. It is true that this logical development is initially calm compared to some of the wild gambits of the other chapters, yet the game can certainly become lively if the players choose the aggressive lines.

Divina Comedia: ‘L’amor che move il sole e l’altre stelle’

This is one of the most beautiful and profound lines in all of world literature. It is the very last line of Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy — the closing verse of Paradiso (Canto XXXIII). Full context in Italian: “l’amor che move il sole e l’altre stelle.” Literal translation: “The Love that moves the Sun and the other stars.” Meaning: Dante is not speaking of romantic love here, but of divine Love — the primal, creative force that is the source and engine of the entire universe. This Love is God Himself. It is the cosmic force that sets the heavens in motion, that gives rhythm to the stars, that sustains the order of all things. It is the ultimate answer to everything the pilgrim (Dante) has sought through Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven: the universe is not moved by blind mechanical laws, but by Love.

It was as if Rome were built directly upon the principles that created the universe. Sooner or later, we are going to discover those principles, those ideals, and those forms—first within ourselves, and thereafter, in the world. This process begins when we shift our focus from immediate needs to the real, lifelong, actual, and eternal needs.

Creating Typography Harmonizes the Courses of the Soul

In Plato's Timaeus, we read: “I will now speak of the higher purpose of God in giving us eyes. Sight is the source of the greatest benefits to us; for if our eyes had never seen the sun, stars, and heavens, the words which we have spoken would not have been uttered. The sight of them and their revolutions has given us the knowledge of number and time, the power of enquiry, and philosophy, which is the great blessing of human life; not to speak of the lesser benefits which even the vulgar can appreciate.

Thank You for Smoking; a Post-Mormon Parable

In Thank You for Smoking, Aaron Eckhart (an ex-mormon) plays Nick Naylor—a charming, morally ambiguous spokesperson for Big Tobacco. He doesn’t smoke, but he defends smokers. He doesn’t push addiction, but he champions choice. For many, the film is a satirical jab at corporate spin and ethical relativism. But for someone coming out of Mormonism, it reads like a secret gospel of freedom.

A Mistress & her Maid

What lurks beneath the Façade of the Upper Class? In this humorous scene, a philosophical chat between a lady and maid about controlling natural forces takes a comedic turn. The lady, inspired by the conversation, jokingly asks the maid for an outrageous, passionate encounter, ending with a hyperbolic suggestion to burn down their surroundings, metaphorically breaking free from societal norms.
