Let us overthrow the totems, break the taboos. Or better, let us consider them cancelled. Coldly, let us be intelligent.

Taboos

Incest relation is condemnable;
Adam and Eve got their grandkids by that.
Taboos are built for convenience.

Thousand flowers

Heavenly winds
But for this old fashioned Bee
Why all these Taboos
From the Synod,
And why did they cut my tiny wings?

*I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals.

There are no taboos. Every topic is open, however shocking. It is the way that the topics are handled that's important, and that applies whether it is a 15-year-old who is reading your book or someone who is 55.

I've done Graham Norton's show three times now. He tackles taboos and subject matter that wouldn't make it past the censors in the States.

Extravaganza

Eat rich food, watch movies,
See beauties, go to parties
And spend in luxuries.
What else can you do
With all the wealth you have,
To fill the widening gap
Done by sexual taboos?

Both are evils alike.

To do and not to do.

To do what ought not to,
Not to do what ought to,


To neglect what ought not to,
To covet what ought not to,
Both are taboos alike.

To anger where it ought to,
To bear where it ought to,
Both are tact alike.

Of course, judgment differs.

H.L. Mencken

The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.

An ageless Poppy grows in Afghan soil

I want to bloom freely in the meadow
But from the serene sky a rain of bombs
And the other side fundamental taboos.
Oh! I am so unfortunate flower uneasy to meet
An understanding black hornet.

* When these rare species set free?

I Shouldn't … but, I do.

I like the way you look at me,
Every time you look at me...
I shouldn't
But I do
I shouldn't
But I do.
I like the way you talk to me,
When you say the things you shouldn't be...
I shouldn't
But I do
I shouldn't
But I do.
I liked the feeling of your company,
When you'd carve out some time for me...
I shouldn't
But I do
I shouldn't
But I do.
I like the sound of your voice,
Pulling at me, like I have no choice,
I shouldn't
But I do
I shouldn't
But I do.
Thoughts of you are frequent for me,
Though, I try not to think of you.
I shouldn't
But I do
I shouldn't
But I do.
I can't help that I feel this way,
Believe me, it's much to my dismay,
There wasn't
But,
NOW
There is a
YOU...
If you only knew,
How much I try,
How often I fail..
When I try
To try
Not to think of
YOU.

The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.

Taboos in child upbringing

To berate in others' presence,
To censure with comparison,
To fight in the presence of children,
To please kids indiscriminately
And to deny their reasonable wants
Are taboos in parental upbringing.
Healthy mind scores over scoring marks.

H.L. Mencken

The most dangerous man, to any government, is the man who Is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost invariably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And if he is not romantic personally, he is apt to spread discontent among those who are.

Griffy the Cooper

The cooper should know about tubs.
But I learned about life as well,
And you who loiter around these graves
Think you know life.
You think your eye sweeps about a wide horizon, perhaps,
In truth you are only looking around the interior of your tub.
You cannot lift yourself to its rim
And see the outer world of things,
And at the same time see yourself.
You are submerged in the tub of yourself —
Taboos and rules and appearances,
Are the staves of your tub.
Break them and dispel the witchcraft
Of thinking your tub is life!
And that you know life!
