I'm new to Omar Khayyam's work, so perhaps the answer to my question is obvious. He is talking so much about wine. Up until now I thought it was a bad habit, an escape; however, in this poem it sounds like a tool, a skillful means in his spiritual progress. Any thoughts?
Juan, thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. A curious paradox I noticed, that perhaps you might shed some light on: the 32% of Israeli women who have experienced domestic violence is very close to the 35% in Lebanon, yet Israel is listed at the end of the article as one of the few countries in the Middle East with comprehensive family violence laws. Are the statistics accurate? Does Israel have a problem with upholding the laws?
Very nice, thank you
