MUNDANO
By Marcelo Bicalho
Translation: Raí Santos
When you think about the word ‘MUNDANO’ (Mundane in English), what comes to your mind?
Well, in case you do not know how to interpret this word properly, let’s explain it. And let’s start
this explanation using the bible – with another conception and at another time. The anachronistic
sense that MUNDANE reveals on the bible:
1John 2:15-17: “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for
the Father[a] is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. 17 The world and its desires
pass away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
Thus: MUNDANE for the elder ones and according to the Bible, refers to those who live for the
world, excluding their beliefs, the spirituality and virtue. A mundane person would never be capable of living solely and exclusively for the church or for the religion. Nowadays, we heard about
some who say “so-and-so is from the world”.
Then does it mean that
is a magazine made by totally materialist and non-religious people? WRONG!
MUNDANO is also a word that can be interpreted according to the following ways:
- Experienced person, with world-related knowledge.
- One who has world-related knowledge .
- One who seeks to know more about everything.
- One who has no fear to risk.
Soon, to our staff, the word MUNDANO has a positive side, after all, we make part of this group of
people who seeks learning; have new experiences; acquire knowledge; and has no fear to risk.
MUNDANO Mag hopes you, our reader, be as Mundane as we are, and we hope that you go
ahead on this adventure of doing something new, in pursuit of new experiences and knowledge:
reading what we have in order to keep you all informed.
