Chinese thought

not consider myself a religious person, in that I don’t feel wholly aligned to a single religious doctrine or school of thought. Life is too complex to be fully encompassed by only one set of values and doctrines, and whoever claims to solely know it all displays how little they actually know. One religious school of thought which has struck a chord with me however, is the Chinese concept of Taoism. The Tao, roughly translated to “The Way”, or “The Path”, is the concept that any journey…

animals alike. Much like the Dogu the Haniwa were made of earthenware, however all of the figures in this case were hollow so that they could be placed upon poles surrounding the tomb. The objective of the Haniwa “is thought that this practice in Japan took the place of the ancient Chinese custom of burying servants and goods with the dead ruler” perhaps so they were able to protect the tomb and the spirits of those buried beneath the mound in the after life. The resemblance of the figures of…

Recent scientists believe no one is capable of making extreme decisions, such as this one, in a wise, well thought out manner. Evidence shows that several factors can thwart our attempts…

dying breaths, flickering through the concave parallels of what he assume were walls. He could hear the rhythm of his heart throbbing as if a small marching percussion was playing in his chest. His palms were clammy as he quivered in his unhinged thoughts. Thinking what his life would have been like if he hadn't opened it, or had seen what he believed was the probable cause for his horrific experience. His mind like a broken VHS tape that repeatedly plays back to that day, where it all…

than leading an ordinary but safe life. We are young, and we have the capacity to experience trials and errors before finally accomplishing goals. Furthermore, it is significant to think independently and have the determination to stay on our own thoughts, and I will maintain this attitude to overcome any difficulties ahead, continually improve myself and make greater…

The structure and development of the individual’s thought processes is the main factors of cognitive theories and it can be said that these processes can effort the person’s understanding of the world.

nearest tenth, today he hated it down to the thousandth, and would have even if the thousandth's place were zero. Disgusted by the necessary cliché of waking, he shuffled off to the kitchen as his stomach requested of him (rather impolitely, he thought). He had once been a man of regularity to the point of eccentricity, but that was less a trait of himself than of the past, and this past felt like the furthest of yesterdays, further even than the day before it. Into the throat of today the…

at the glove looking for other clues that might help figure out who stole it and why. The glove was not that bad it was of course leather and it was but, that black biker glove. I knew there was not any biker gang here. Therefore, I tried it on thought it was old it was a wonderful fit, but there was an uncomfortable feeling inside. In the old black glove was a note, I…

clearly seen in her poem “I Felt a Funeral in My Brain”. Dickinson uses repetitive language such as “Kept treading-treading-till it seemed” and “Kept beating-beating- till I thought” (Dickinson). This repetitive language is a clear indication of how a person can slowly make someone go insane. For example the method of Chinese Water Torture.

Most of the prominent dualities such as light and dark, fire and water, expanding and contracting are thought of as physical appearances of the duality symbolized by yin and yang.
