However, love is more powerful than space, time, or even death as it can bring people back to the present and together across impossible boundaries. A Shayna Maidel reminds the audiences about the importance and power of the past for a person. But at the same time, the play indicates that it is essential to live in the present with the help of hope and love inspired by hearts. These elements are…

In E. H. Gombrich’s bestseller A Little History of the World, he initially describes that, “Behind every ‘Once Upon a Time’ there is always another” (Page 1). He is trying to say that stories told from elders and past generations live on, and they are a continuous cycle that we will never get to the bottom of. Gombrich also includes that asking questions about these ‘Once Upon a Time’ stories shows interest in history. He states, “from now on we’ll always shout: ‘Stop! When did this happen?’ And…

Individuals that flourish in cherishing connections don't regularly feel discouraged. Gloom is symptomatic of feeling confined and cut off. In our drive to carry on with the great life, we ordinarily disengage ourselves from connections that may feed us. Close and cherishing relations have turned out to be to some degree underestimated and have lost an incentive in our exceptionally rushed lives.

Does land have a memory of its own? The film Children of Nature suggests that memory is strongly connected to the land on which the memory was created.

In this sense, experiences bleed into the land, whereby creating a pool of memories connected to a seemingly arbitrary symbol of its…

Where they would find a baby in swaddling clothes,…
