ARIADNA's BLOG - diary of a wild shrew: iulie 2010

Are you ready to Ariadne thread unravels ?

In mythology, Ariadne was the daughter of King Minos of Crete and his wife Pasiphae. And her story begins with a chance encounter with a handsome stranger. As fate would have it, Ariadne fell in love with the dashing Greek hero Theseus. They met in Crete, where Theseus was sent to kill the deadly Minotaur. According to the myth, it was Ariadne who helped Theseus to escape the Labyrinth (which was the Minotaur's lair) by supplying the hero with thread used to navigate the tangled passages. In appreciation for her assistance, Theseus promised to make Ariadne his bride, and he brought her with him when he left Crete and sailed for his home in Athens.

But something happened on the way to Athens. During their journey, Theseus stopped to rest on the island of Naxos (also known as Dia). However, when he again set sail, the Greek adventurer did not have Ariadne on board - he simply left her alone on the island. Ariadne was devastated. Her love had abandoned her. As she was crying and lamenting her cruel fate, a miraculous event took place. The god Dionysos appeared, in all his divine glory, and rescued the forsaken heroine. In some versions of the myth, Dionysos then married Ariadne. So in Greek mythology, sometimes there really is a happy - and beautiful - ending.

Meniul zilei: “FAST - LOVE“

Din ciclul scrierilor “Ardeleanca si Babylonul” m-am gandit sa ma opresc mai intai asupra unui concept ce, pentru noi ardelenii, este cel putin bizar - “fast”.

Aud din ce in ce mai des fast-food, fast-learning, fast cars, si asa mai departe.... Se pare ca totul se invarte in jurul cuvantului “rapid” cu o viteza uluitoare, inclusiv relatiile, fie ca sunt doar interumane, de prietenie, business sau sexuale (intime).

Totul e pe modul “fast”: dialogam cu colegii de munca pe mess, tinem legatura cu prietenii pe facebook si mai nou se incheie parteneriate solide pe diferitele retele de socializare, ca sa nu mai zic de faptul ca aceste retele de socializare au devenit adevarate mijloace matrimoniale …..

Cu masca sau fara masca, ne facem cont pe cate o retea de acest gen si, uneori voit, alteori neprevazut, incepem un flirt nevinovat, o joaca inocenta care in timp se poate transforma intr-o “one-night stand”, o aventura de scurta durata, sau daca ai noroc intr-o relatie sanatoasa de lunga durata. Si aici e discutabil. Ce inseamna de fapt relatie de lunga durata?

Pana nu demult, eram convinsa ca o relatie este cea care trece de 3 ani, dar vazand ce se intampla mai nou in jurul meu si inclusiv cu mine, probabil o relatie de 3 ani reprezinta echivalentul nuntii de argint de alta data. Acum, daca ajungi sa iti imparti viata cu un partener 3 -6 luni, te poti numi déjà veteran sau longeviv.

Copil nebun, femeie fatala, rebela cu atitudine sau doar o scorpie neimblanzita ?

Probabil stiti si voi proverbul“Unde-s doi puterea creste!”...Ei bine, si eu l-am auzit cu multi ani in urma, si copil fiind, ce mi-a trecut mie prin tartacuta : “ Bine, bine, daca e asa, atunci unde sunt si mai multi, matematic verificat, creste si mai mult puterea ...“ Prin urmare m-am hotarat sa aplic acest principiu si personalitatii mele, astfel ca va fac cunostinta cu cele 4 identitati: Ariadna, Mihaela, Ayla si Scorpidina .
