We all have heard of Samson and Delilah. Hollywood has had a field day with producing movies and TV shows, capitalizing on each imaginable or inventive aspect of "that" spicy episode. To blatantly falsify and rewrite Samson's story is called "poetic" or "dramaturgical" license. But what is the REAL story of Samson? What can his life teach us today?

But his ultimate fate does not annul the fact that Samson, because of his repeated failings, had to face many devastating physical consequences, and his physical life was not easy by any stretch of the imagination.
