Does this imply a cold awareness of the self as a perishable being with limited powers or does it lead you to believe you can be a perfect robot able to manipulate nature and the world according to your specific needs and desires? Being an it means having no soul. Having no soul implies being immortal. Being immortal implies that God does not exist. At that point man-it becomes the most powerful existing agent.
But reality contradicts this assumption and the failures of the man-it can do nothing more but hurt him. Furthermore, the lack of faith and the failure of reason to provide answers regarding the questions " What is the truth? What is essential? Why do I exist?, etc." leads to strong alienation. Having such an attitude as a life philosophy is unhealthy and very dangerous.
The other alternative is treating everything as a thou. Thou is a synonym for you and has a strong respectful connotation this respect may be of religious nature. From this point-of-view, it could be stated that seeing the world in terms of "you" installs a strong sacred dimension. It is important to underline that this manner of seeing the world implies a great selfishness. It is not even a "me- you" relation, but one focused on the other.
On the one hand this allows one to become...
Seeing the other in everything is also a means of observing not only general human coordinates, but a means that can be used in order to understand your reactions better. Stopping to focus on the self, one passes from the "to have" paradigm to the "to be" paradigm. This allows for a strong degree of freedom and therefore self development.
Focusing on the other implies a high degree of generosity as well. Should this attitude be possible it would result into a society of honest people, with strong character, a strong will and a just as strong internal balance. This would imply the reduction of conflicts and perhaps a better and wiser management of the resources, resulting into a better off society.
The matter becomes more complicated when we get to the part where you treat yourself as thou. It takes a lot of balance, a lot of patience and a strong degree of self-awareness. does selfishness alter the instinct of survival? I believe not. Seeing the thou in everything means accepting that your capacities are limited, that you are one of the many and that there is perhaps a higher instance with omniscient characteristics who understands the world. And it is perhaps this modesty that could act as an engine for real constructive progress.
" By the contrast of describing her love for him as great and as far as heaven and yet as simple and down-to-earth as a "quiet need, by sun and candlelight" she brings love down to the fact that all people need love. And then she goes on to describe her love as freedom, "I love thee freely, as men strive for Right" and purity, "I love thee purely, as they
(Donoghue, 1990) The other problem is regarding third party reimbursements and state regulators which have had a significant effect on hospitals during the last ten years. Another factor that is brought out by the study is that during both 1983 and 1986 there were important variations in the inpatient reimbursement system that helped in improving the operating and final margins of hospitals. At the same time there are the health
Also, this will help to increase the length of the relationship significantly and will raise the satisfaction level of the people in the relationship to a level higher than before they began to use expressive writing. This study has demonstrated the positive effects of expressive writing which can be applied by sociologists and psychologists. However, there is one bit of the study which is not expressly explained and thus should
They were not informed of the reason for the code. They were asked "(a) How similar do you think this person is to you? (1 _ not at all similar to 11 _ very similar) and (b) How much do you think this person will like you? (1 _ not at all to 11 _ very much)" and other like preliminary questions to see if subliminal likes were noticed
Being of nature, a supposedly passive entity does not necessarily stime the female poet, it can also, in Bishop's construcion, empower her as a speaker. Yet, there is one caveat -- for Bishop's poem remains tantalizingly silent about her own gender as a female. Thus, even as late as Bishop, the idea of an openly female speaker within a poem associating herself with nature, and seeing herself reflected in nature
Penetrating Poetry: An Examination of Cultural Poetry Every country, culture, and time period has had poets living within their society to help record the very essence of which their people live. These poets, known for expressing raw emotion, have become particularly talented at expressing their experiences. From Australia to England, Japan to Pakistan, during the ninth century or the twentieth, poets have learned to capture their true meaning of the word "love." Christopher
