Eternal return

answer that may be different than mine. “A thing given willingly to someone without payment; a present.” This is the dictionary definition of a gift. By this definition, almost anything can be a gift. If it is given without expecting something in return, and it is given willingly, then it is technically a gift, but there is a catch. This is only the denotative definition of the word gift. What do people really consider a gift? What comes to mind when they hear the word present?…

be annihilated but can only be changed “from one nature to another” (p.67), reinforcing that God is a “perpetual creator”(p.54). Her view stems from a literal interpretation of scripture that everything created on earth is of the earth, and shall return to the earth (p.57). This interpretation includes that God can make anything out of the earth such as, fish from water, and man from earth, and then give them the breath of life or “vital action” (p.57-58). She concludes, “life and figure…

Friendship has proven to be a formidable aspect within many of the world’s epics. In The Epic of Gilgamesh, the protagonist, Gilgamesh suffers the loss of his best friend, Enkidu. A parallel experience occurs in Homer’s The Iliad with Achilles and his best friend, Patroclus. In these epics, friendship is a theme that leads to an epiphany within the protagonist. In both instances, Achilles and Gilgamesh undergo a loss that is the catalyst for a monumental shift that develops them into heroes.…

products ie., discrete or made up of parts. They are therefore non-external. Non external has no meaning apart from external. Earth, water, fire and air are both eternal and non-eternal. While ākāśa is external only. The compounds which are produced are non-eternal, while the component particles which are not produced are eternal.The invisible eternal atoms are incapable of division in to parts then all material things would be the products of an equally endless number of constituent endless…

Whether we declare it or not, all of us panic because of death. Death remains a huge dilemma, one of the major subjects with which religion and culture and knowledge have struggled since the beginning of the time. Despite the fact that death is a natural consequence of existence, our culture is matchless in the extent to which death is considered a taboo subject. We don’t prefer to have open discussions. We choose to consider death as a dangerous enemy that can and should be defeated by modern…

The Psalms of Solomon are a series of 18 pseudonymous Jewish poems written in Greek and Syriac (It is assumed they were translated from Hebrew). These psalms explore various topics ranging from military attacks to halakik disputes. It is assumed that these psalms were written in the first century BCE. Psalm 1 introduces the theme of warfare, and transcends from a ‘women’s’ (Jerusalem) prayer for deliverance from foreign invaders, to God’s justification in attacking the inhabitants of Jerusalem…

Kant’s categorical imperative is an ethical rule, that does not depend on circumstances, whose job is to tell us who we are. My ethical philosophy based on Kant’s categorical imperative has always been to be happy and true to myself. My personal ethical maxim, on the other hand, has always been to be considerate and kind to those around me. I was taught since an early age Aristotle 's fairness philosophy, treating equals equally and unequals unequally. My parents and siblings taught me to…

On 21 Sept, ‘05, Queen’s University returned a pledge of $1 million to David Radler .(Dunn, 2010) Return of funds that have been compromised is not new. Therefore, in the case of 11.1a, it is perceived that the donor is involved in some unethical practices; hence, it is clear that the decision to return the fund is easy. Non-profits Organizations (NPO) are bound by federal laws and regulations; along with applicable state policies. (Worth, pg.131) With that in mind, it is important that a…
