More over the folds of the cloths of young lady is more worked upon detail where as the folds of the cloth on table is bit rough, temperature of the painting is cold as we can see a bit of sea from the window which is at the back side of the young and old woman. Giving space to the painting maybe is because of the artist wanted to show the clear loneliness. I felt despair. the Hauntingly Vivid inscription that the artist gave to his work told the tragic story Bible lies open in front of the mother and her gesture is conveying us the message of condolence towards her daughter.
The Framed scientist Madame Marie curie returned to her home the night of the funeral for her husband, Pierre curie, who was killed in an accident in the streets of Paris and made this entry in her diary:”They filled the grave and put sheaves of flowers on it. Everything is over Pierre is sleeping his last sleep beneath the earth it is the end of everything, everything, everything.”
The Atheist Bertrand Russell Adds his testament:”No fire. no heroism, no integrity of thought and feeling can preserve an individual life beyond the grave.”And Schopenhauer, the German philosopher and pessimist was even more bitter. He wrote:” To desire immortality is to desire the eternal perpetuation of a great mistake.
These were the old beliefs in Victorian era

    Life & Death Through elaborate carving, casting, painting, and other technical processes, artists can ingeniously turn dead stone, metal, or plaster into vivid human-looking sculptures. George Segal’s Blue Women In a Black Chair, which was made in 1981, is a typical painted sculpture that reflects the core of human emotions. The Untitled large man accomplished by Tom Claassen in 1999, likewise, is another excellent reflective sculpture. Although these two are both outstanding pieces mirroring experiences in real life, they differ in materials, size, color, and body gesture in order to present different stage of human being, conveying different meanings.…

    Why would someone want to live forever? Bernard Williams, a philosopher and an author wrote the essay titled “The Makropulos Case: Reflection on the Tedium of Immortality”. In his essay he discusses how death is not necessarily evil, like some people think. In order to structure his argument, he includes both Epicurus’ and Lucretuis point of view that humans overthink the state of being dead. He agrees with both philosophers that being dead isn’t bad, but Williams believes that Lucretuis is somewhat contradicting himself because Lucretuis cares about experience, but is saying that living a shorter life is better than living a longer life when it should be the other way around.…

John Martin Fischer believes that contrary to Bernard Williams the life of immortality would not be so bad if two conditions were met. One of those conditions is that the person is identical to the individual and second the person’s life must be attractive to them. Personally, I disagree with the first condition and while I agree with the second condition I don’t think it is necessary for an immortal life to be good, still I completely disagree with Bernard Williams.…

    In “Why Immortality Is Not So Bad,” Fisher argues that immortality need not to be as bad as William says it would be and is inadequate. He argues that if an immortal life would be characterized by different experiences, there is no reason one to become bored with life. Although william argues that immortality would be as bad, he uses an example to prove it of a woman named EM who is immortal, for drinking a certain potion, and gets bored with life. In the end, she refuses to continue drinking it, because life has become a dull a state of boredom, indifference, and coldness. Williams claims that any kind of eternal life would end up being like this at the in the end,which is boring, meaningless, and undesirable.…

    He draws the tales from the six different paintings which seem to show the cultural, economic and political interaction between Europe, France, China, North and South America during that time. He considers the seventeenth century “the dawn of the global world” because the paintings show the interconnectedness of all factors that contribute to globalization. The paintings show the interconnectedness of the economic aspect by having the Dutch East India Company on the Delft harbor, the lady wearing the felt hat and even the Chinese porcelain and Turkish rag. The very same items also show the spread of culture among the said nations. He also shows how two different cultures used the same commodity; cigarettes were smoked in a commonplace among the Europeans yet in China they were preserved for the elite.…

    Though Zhuangzi’s true thoughts on death (as on many things) are occasionally unclear and apparently contradictory (in some instances, he seems to regard death as something bad that should be avoided and a long, natural life as a positive, as is implied by the stories of Hundun and Crippled Shu [95, 61], while in most others he expresses the more accepting view of death I explore here), one view dominates throughout his work. That view is this: death is an unavoidable part of life, and we therefore should not take great pains to avoid it or worry about the fact that we will die someday (though, if that worry does happen to naturally arise, we should not actively suppress it). In the same way that where there is day there must be night, “where…
