We do not have temples with vestal priestesses in charge of maintaining the sacred fire on Babylonian mathematics or priests conducting accurate astrology predictions (predictions of events that befall the entire country), but we have television sets feeding the gossip and seers in the early morning reading our future. It has lost its aesthetic, for example Vestal had to be very beautiful and the priests were required to purchase large mathematical knowledge and study the sky. The traditions were looking for the magic element, the purity and charm to persevere customs. In our society, we have removed the myths, the magical thinking and the earth is a sacred element or even a Great Chain of Being, but we've reinvented a progressive environmentalism that washes our consciences struggle against bullfights and nuclear power plants (although not contaminate feed or the greenhouse effect not require fossil fuels for their operation, is obviously different matter, "waste"), without sacrificing comfort air conditioning designing buildings and enclosed in glass rather than relying on natural ventilation or driving in cars with the device, which uses CFC as a coolant (banned in the Montreal Protocol because it destroys the ozone layer). Our model of credulity is based on the absence of any submission to the analysis, we are very environmental because glass containers deposited in special containers regardless of the fact that our sedentary lifestyle and obesity trends encourages car use in many cases totally unnecessary. Posts feed legends, superstitions and stupidity, unless they are harmless.

Powered by example the health benefits of fruit consumption in our diet and let us exalt the block. The apple consummated the temptation and the sin of Adam and Eve in Paradise; sparked the Trojan War by choosing Paris as the goddess Aphrodite more beautiful to be the golden apple, and making it turn love into Helena with their subsequent abduction , Newton was inspired by universal gravitation watching apples fall from the tree, William Tell had to shoot an arrow at an apple placed on the head of his own son, and Snow White was poisoned by eating an apple. There should be no fruit so full of stories, so it's easy to turn on the idea that the apple is a kind of magical elixir. Once you turn on the belief that the apple contains essences fabulous, you can recover the spirit with which they went to the oracle at Delphi: the priestess Pythia to interfere with the god Apollo to hear positive predictions. Recall that the visit to the temple of Socrates, inspired by all accounts, his philosophy, read the inscription: Know thyself. The apples sacred to fully populate our dreams and regularity our cholesterol levels.
