I love reading the book of Esther from the Bible. This book however I could care less for. I don't know if it is because of my mood or if it really is this book.

My lord, some things cannot be taught. I was brought here tonight to be another of your conquests, wasn't I? But you are not the only one who knows how to go to war.

Women are dropping like flies in this harem.

Does this mean I can stop reading about Cyrus?

How brave the men once seemed as they marched to war when I was a girl, such valiant warriors carrying their banners and armor in front of them. Yet I know now it is the women left behind who fight the fiercest wars, this daily battle to bury the heart's cries and still live on.

The only god in persia is pleasure, pleasure pleasure that is often at the expense of women.
