¶ … unconditional love and who you would spend a day with, if given the chance.
Many of us dream of finding the magic lamp with a genie that would grant our fondest wish. When considering what we would wish for, one desire that comes to many people's mind is being able to spend a day with anyone, whether they are alive, dead or imaginary.
My Godmother
If given the choice of spending just one day with someone, I would welcome the chance to spend it with my godmother, who sadly is no longer alive. Though she was not related to me by blood, she filled the void that was left by my real grandparents.
When I was growing up, I didn't have a happy home life. My godmother, however,...
She was the one person that could be counted on to love me unconditionally, and for a an unhappy child, growing up in a dysfunctional household, this was like heaven.
The fact I was born on November 21st, which happened to be her birthday, only strengthened our bond.
It was magical to be able to celebrate this special day with such an amazing person. Unfortunately, she died when I was 12, leaving me to celebrate alone with only my memories of past birthdays.
My godmother taught me kindness and how to really love a child. I learned the importance of listening and providing encouragement, and also how to avoid criticizing a child, which can lower their self-esteem…

However, even the best philosophers, with the profound thoughts, could not fully define love. Perhaps the reason for this is that love is such a broad subject. There are dozens of answers to the question, "What is love?" Love can be selfless, selfish, giving, jealous, unconditional, temporary, and many other things. People
Love In the Symposium, Socrates repeats the words of Diotima that love “is of the good’s being one’s own always” (Symposium 268). These words essentially get to the heart of Augustine’s own feelings towards his mother Monica, who would be recognized by the Church as a saint: as Augustine observes, she was faithful to God all her life, dutiful to her husband, careful of her children and always laboring to serve
Merit: Reflection David Brooks (2015) makes a valid point in his New York Times article "Love and Merit." His aim is to show that parental love is more important and effective than meritocratic love. The difference between the two is that the former is unconditional and gives the child the sense that he or she is loved no matter what -- even if he or she fails at everything the
A good example of this can be seen in the passage which says, "She gave him a photograph of a boy who was now five. She said you stopped writing. I thought you were dead. He looked at the photograph of the boy who would grow up to look like him, who, although the man didn't know it would go to college, fall in love, out of love and
.. O, woe is me, t' have seen what I have seen, see what I see!" (3.1. 116-164). The connotation is that her heart is breaking. This scene combined with her original startled outcry to Polonius in Act I further illustrates that Ophelia was in love with Hamlet, and that she did not meet him with ill intent despite the ulterior motives of everyone else. This further builds upon previous evidence
