Some criticism at last is due...
They are not really any true commandments
but eight prohibitions and two recommendations.
The ancient Greeks had only one commandment,
but they never put it down in writing,
since they knew man's fallacy enough
to be aware that he would never be obedient to common sense.
Their one commandment was a hint at a recommendation,
that one should not dedicate oneself to hubris,
which man ever did as long as he made history.
Since then, no more commandments were imposed on man,
since he preferred to constantly go mad
with hubris and to violate the ten commandments,
most especially the first and wisest, oldest one,
the one that said 'Thou shalt not kill'.
The history of mankind boasts the testimony
that he never could have heard of that commandment.
Older than the ten commandments was the fundamental message
of the oldest writs of man in ancient India in the Vedas,
where it is expressed not only in the Kamasutra
the necessity to live by love alone.
Well, well, that message clearly also was forgot from the beginning,
or the men that made this earth a constant battlefield
did never hear about it, as they never could learn anything.

The challenge of the ten commandments
They are not really any true commandments
but eight prohibitions and two recommendations.

but they never put it down in writing,
since they knew man's fallacy enough
to be aware that he would never be obedient to common sense.

that one should not dedicate oneself to hubris,
which man ever did as long as he made history.
Since then, no more commandments were imposed on man,
since he preferred to constantly go mad
with hubris and to violate the ten commandments,
most especially the first and wisest, oldest one,
