Contrario a la leyenda libidinosa, como ha sido vista a través del lente rosa de Hollywood, el Giacomo Casanova real no poseía la mandíbula fuerte y cincelada de Heath Ledger, o los penetrantes ojos azules cual lagunas de Richard Chamberlain. Más bien, los retratos del Casanova real muestran un rostro simple, incluso poco memorable, de mandíbula pastosa, nariz prominente, un poco torcida, y ojos saltones y muy juntos. En esencia, aunque ciertamente no era poco atractivo, estaba lejos de ser alguien que llegaría a ser visto como sinónimo de mujeriego.

En términos de geopolítica, quizás el acontecimiento más importante de la Edad Media fue el exitoso asedio otomano a Constantinopla en 1453. La ciudad había sido una capital imperial ya en el siglo IV, cuando Constantino el Grande cambió el centro de poder del Imperio Romano, estableciendo efectivamente dos mitades casi igualmente poderosas del imperio más grande de la antigüedad. Constantinopla seguiría siendo la capital del Imperio Bizantino incluso después de que la mitad occidental del Imperio Romano se derrumbara a finales del siglo V.

We all have powers, whether we realize it or not. Powers that are unique to each of us. Powers that may be dormant for some, and powers just being discovered by others. These powers are uniquely ours to cultivate and employ when they are unearthed. Yet how will we use these powers, once we are conscious of them? How do we gain mastery of them? Do we use them to help others or to benefit ourselves? These are questions that all of us must answer as we adventure forth on this quest called life.

Violence impacts everyone. Maybe it doesn’t impinge on you directly. Maybe you and your loved ones feel safe most of the time. But the sad reality is, we know that violence is happening all the time, somewhere in our country, our cities, our towns, and our neighborhoods. Sometimes we see it, sometimes we don’t. Sometimes it makes the news; usually it doesn’t.
