De Joseps, Joans i ases n'hi ha a totes les cases
Catalan saying that means "In all households there are Josephs, Johns and donkeys". Josep (Joseph) and Joan (John) have traditionally been extremely common names for men, so nobody doubts that every house has one. In the countryside, many people also had donkeys to help with the work. But "donkey" also means "stupid person". We say this sentence to mean that there are also many stupid people everywhere!

The enemy: A Closer Look
I always tell people you gotta know your enemy. You should know your enemy because if you don't know your enemy then you don't know yourself.
youtube
"If you were a general in the army and you were going to war against another nation, you would study the life of the opposing general. If we are going to live a victorious life, then one of the wisest things we can do is to understand the mind of our opposing general: Satan."
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 NLT
[3] If the Good News we preach is hidden behind a veil, it is hidden only from people who are perishing. [4] Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
Ephesians 2:2 NLT
[2] You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.
Ephesians 4:27 NIV
[27] and do not give the devil a foothold.
Proverbs 1:10 NLT
[10] My child, if sinners entice you, turn your back on them!

These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.
Proverbs 6:16-19

This really spoke to me because lately I’ve been dealing with temptation, so hopefully it helps you guys out as well.

Like a city that is broken down and without walls [leaving it unprotected] Is a man who has no self-control over his spirit [and sets himself up for trouble.] Proverbs 25:28

"A man is washed clean with a glass of water, but the entire sea can't clean a woman."
—Albanian Proverb.
Meaning: Men are easily forgiven for the same mistakes with a small gesture, while women face ongoing judgment, revealing unfair expectations based on gender. This proverb shines a light on sexism within a culture, illustrating unequal forgiveness based on gender and emphasizing the need for awareness and change.
