Work Of Art True Love
948 words
Love is not a god as the fine philosophers of
Greece once suggested. Love is something far more
powerful and universal, for not all people believe
in gods, yet people cannot refuse the existence of
love. Instead, love is a condition of the human
body that cannot be denied. True love is
obstinate; in the way that music pours into the
ears of an audience, love pouring into the heart
of a man cannot be stopped, denied, or set off
course. Love is a natural instinct. You cannot
artificially make love...

Lamentation Pain Grief Rebirth Old Age Disease Death Buddhism

Buddhism is probably the most tolerant religion of
the world, as the teaching can coexist with any
other religion. Other religions however, aim to be
restricted and cannot accommodate Buddhism at the
same time. The Buddhist teaching on God - in the
sense of an ultimate Reality - is neither skeptic
(as is sometimes claimed), nor vague, but clear
and logical. that we can neither define, describe,
nor usefully discuss the nature of that which is
beyond the perception of our infinite
consciousness. ...

Imagine a world without traffic jams; where there
would be no delay for work, no worries about
travel schedules and above all no public
appraisals from the English teacher for coming

off the banal list of worries. This impossible to

frightening webs of reason for everything that

homecoming of a great warrior and the hero of the
epic Odysseus from the Trojan War. Though
seemingly, it might sound like a male-dominated
ancient myth, women pull the strings in the
Odyssey, whether it may be Helen of Troy who
inflicted upon the spears and arrows thirst for
blood or may it be Circumspect Penelope who
motivated Odysseus to come home. Also goddess

Why is it that people fawn Shakespeare and have
unreasonably high regard for his works, including
The Tempest, and label them as "immortal
classics"? Indeed Shakespeare's works had great
significance in the evolution of English
literature, but these works, including The Tempest
are mostly devoid of significance and literary
value in the present day. One can expect to gain
little educational benefit of the english language
or heightened appreciation for fine literature

him to contend with, the moral side and the more
human side. He is able to come to terms with

Gothic Horror Horror Film

The genre of Gothic horror film has existed almost
as long as the cinema itself, and it has always
fascinated me. As the definition above suggests,
the word can be loosely used to define any horror
story with suitable settings, but such themes as
disturbing dreams, desperate, undying love and
melancholic romanticisation of death are also
usually important in Gothic cinema. The following
is a brief and superficial overview on Gothic
horror film and some classics of the genre.

human beings. For example, Gilgamesh, the

mythology has several distinguishing
characteristics, in addition to its multiple
versions. The Greek gods resembled human beings in
their form and in their emotions, and they lived
in a society that resembled human society in its
levels of authority and power. However, a crucial
difference existed between gods and human beings:
Humans died, and gods were immortal. Heroes also

The Homeric Heorism HOMERIC HEROISM The Iliad is
essentially the epic of Achilles, the greatest of
the Greek warriors and, at the same time, the most
complex and unlikable of the many personalities of
the Trojan War. Homer redefines the essence of
heroism in delineating the character of Achilles,
a demi-god that quarrels with his
commander-in-chief over the division of spoils who
sulks and pouts in his tent when he does not get
his way. In the end, of course, Achilles triumphs

Gods And Goddesses Bull Of Heaven
1,266 words
In both The Epic of Gilgamesh and the Hebrew
Bible, the humans are constantly coming into
contact with supreme beings; weather they are
polytheistic or monotheistic. Each book describes
its own God, or gods and goddesses, in different
manners. In Gilgamesh the gods and goddesses are
more personal with the humans and guide them on
their way. Where as God in the Bible is more of an
observer who contacts only those he wants to save.
It seems to me that the deities in Gilgamesh are
more willing to h...

Life After Death Immortal Soul

To what extent does it make sense to talk about
life after death? Nobody likes the idea that we
are going to die. Its one of those things that pop
into your head whenever you get comfortable,
possibly as a subconscious motivational tool. Just
in case you ever get really, truly at ease with
your life it strikes you that it will all come to
an end (possibly quite horribly) without your
say-so or even prior notification. Many people
find this not only rude but also decidedly
inconvenient, and refus...
