Find a way to our lectures that would say, "you know, we've got to be in fear here and defense. And just got to get out there, and get what we need to get while we can get it." And, when.

You found your way here. Chances are you're walking in with at least some degree of belief that, yes love is important. It is the foundation I want to build my life on. However to the extent that you actually are experiencing suffering in your life, is also the extent to which you are ambiguous about your choice there.

And I think that to often we think in our heads, yes I believe in a friendly universe. Love is important to me. I believe in god, or a higher power, or whatever you want to call that. But I believe in something bigger than myself.

Mr. relationship guru guy.

Yes, OK to be a relationship guru, I'm saying you're having a hard time knowing how to manage properly in it, my dear. You're needy! You're needy! Why don't you just lay off a little bit, and support me out there. Taking on the world like you so thought you were so attractive to, that's all I'm doing everyday.

So, again we're making fan of this but this is what happen particularly early on in our relationship. Because as we're coming together, our mask from this distance look lovely. And we come together, and we come together, and sooner or later something happens, and it goes boom.

And what's really happening, is we're finally knocking on the floor of the basement. And my feeling about, I'm not important are all of a sudden alive, and I think he's doing it to me.

And guess what I fear I am...What was I talking...I was totally
Because you see...You know I...Relationships is really really important to me. What did I just say? I don't know anything about relationships. I come from a totally dysfunctional family.

    Eakes, Burke, and Hainsworth’s Middle-Range Theory of Chronic Sorrow is an attempt to explain how people react to ongoing losses, as well as single event losses, using a visual model to represent their theory. They theorists explain that chronic sorrow is a cyclical event that will continue as long as the figure that created the loss in the first place still exists. Moreover, although the person experiencing chronic sorrow experiences periods of non-sorrow and moves on with their lives, the grief is likely to consistently return, and the theorists interpret this ongoing experience as a normal response towards an abnormal…

    In his book, The Illness Narratives: Suffering, Healing and the Human Condition, Arthur Kleinman poses ideas and eight questions about illness experiences that every patient endures.

For this assignment, I have used these questions as a way to guide my interview with a childhood friend of mine, Sydney Karre. Sydney and I were on the same club swimming team growing up and she was always the “life of the party.”…

    I can relate this to my religion which is Catholicism. As a Catholic, I believe that God’s love for us is never ending. He created everything for us out of love. He even sent down his only son, Jesus, to save us from sin and grant us eternal life. Even if I sin and make a mistake, I know that if I’m sorry God will forgive me.…

    "The average man is a conformist, accepting miseries and disasters with the stoicism of a cow standing in the rain" this a very well known quote from Colin Wilson. What he means by this quote is, the average person just accepts miseries and disasters, and doesn't really care anything about it. The misery and disaster just become something normal to them. Now whether you believe this is true or not we all must accept that we have said "I'm used to it. " Everyone has the right to their own opinion, and in my opinion I agree with Colin Wilson, on average people are accepting the misery and disaster life throws at them.…

    “We have two lives, Roy, the life we learn with and the life we live with after that. Suffering is what brings us toward happiness” (152). These are the lines from The Natural written by Bernard Malamud, which Iris Lemon says to Roy Hobbs after he told her all the suffer he faced before he becomes a well-known baseball player. The author gives hopes to the readers that Roy will definitely find his happiness towards the end of the novel. However, Bernard Malamud ends the climactic game between the Knights and the Pirates with a frustrating, depressing scene for the readers; Wonderboy, Roy Hobbs’ precious bat, breaks into two pieces after he hit a foul ball and Roy Hobbs does not manage to hit the last ball thrown by the pitcher.…

    In his essays titled “On the Vanity of Existence”, “The World as Will and Representation”, and “On the sufferings of the world”, Arthur Schopenhauer discusses the inevitability of suffering in life, what causes it, and what we can do to ease it. In this case the suffering refers to our constant un-satisfaction with our lives because of our need to always have and want more. Throughout this essay I am going to be answering the questions of why suffering is inevitable and what we can do to ease our suffering. Schopenhauer states that our suffering is caused by our will as human beings, the fleeting nature of our lives, and the illusion that is our lives. He goes on to further state that we can ease the suffering of our lives through art, beauty,…
