EXCORDIS

EXCORS (excordis, adj.): haeartless, brainless, lacking understanding, foolish, silly, or insane - Now I know that ‘excors’ often is translated as ‘silly’ or ‘stupid,’ but the root of the word ‘excordis’ is ‘cordis’, which means ‘of the heart.’ And the word ‘heart’ can often refer to understanding and compassion, not merely to feelings. So, ‘excors’ translated as ‘heartless’ conveys the meaning of the verse better than ‘silly’ or ‘stupid.

POSITIVE QUOTE OF THE DAY
-----------------------------

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant:
if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.
