Quote by Benjamin Franklin

I know not which lives more unnatural lives, obeying husbands, or commanding wives.

I know not which lives more unnatural lives, obeying husband

Summary

This quote, attributed to British poet John Donne, questions societal conventions that dictate gender roles and their impact on the lives of both men and women. By expressing uncertainty about which group lives a more unnatural life, Donne challenges the idea of one gender being mostly oppressed ("obeying husbands") while the other wields authority ("commanding wives"). It suggests that both roles may be restrictive and unnatural, implying a need for more equitable relationships and challenging traditional gender expectations.

The kingdom of God could be realized simply by daring to liv

The kingdom of God could be realized simply by daring to live differently from the normal conventions. The kingdom of God in the teachings of Jesus was not an apocalyptic or heavenly projection of otherworldly desire. It was driven by a desire to think that there must be a better way to live together than the present state of affairs. And it called for a change of behavior in the present on the part of individuals invested in the vision.
