The cross is a symbol of redemption, of the Christian faith, of acceptance of Christ's suffering for sinners, of His substitutionary death, of faith shown by the wearer of the cross in Christ, a good luck charm, a mockery, or a gruesome method of execution.

Your title is a misleading welcome mat to young men wishing to learn the gentlemanly arts. Instead of the promised guidance, you relate vile acts of uncouth pseudo-gentlemen, lending no redeeming importance to the telling, such as recommending their castration. May I suggest a rewrite along the lines of flowers, opened doors, candles, and soft, respectful words.

Has my silky talk offended your sensibilities? Then you have missed the obvious underlying meaning in lines like âtheyâll call you back to repeat.â

Six weeks of piano lessons were enough to send me back to the sand box.

You've got a good idea for a poem here, but it appears following too closely to the truth of the event. To tell the truth, you have to lie sometimes. To relate a thing, you have to change it.

Plato has some very worthwhile things to say. Try reading him when you're older.

This is a good story right up to last few lines where I think you blew it. I saw the point without your telling it at the end.

Open mindedness does not help me to distinguish truth from non-truth. It merely allows me to consider more possible truths, and having more to consider I have a greater chance of finding the real truths among them.

Robert Graves - In Broken Images
He is quick, thinking in clear images;
I am slow, thinking in broken images.
He becomes dull, trusting to his clear images;
I become sharp, mistrusting my broken images.
Trusting his images, he assumes their relevance;
Mistrusting my images, I question their relevance.
Assuming their relevance, he assumes the fact;
Questioning their relevance, I question their fact.
When the fact fails him, he questions his senses;
when the fact fails me, I approve my senses.
He continues quick and dull in his clear images;
I continue slow and sharp in my broken images.
He in a new confusion of his understanding;
I in a new understanding of my confusion.
That's a good poem 10

If you wish to define dogma that way, then yes. I don't.
