Form of the Good

However, in the movie Patch Adams, Dr. Hunter Patch believes that the greatest good in life is specifically laughter and being a supportive friend in times of need.

do is fight. With Jeff, however, things are different. Keith demonstrated that Jeff was filled up with a desire for violence, but he still respected other humans, especially when they were in need. In the end, the point of this is to recognize the good in humans and do what is…

Yes, I realize the October update is arriving in November. I knew something good was coming on the 3rd and I wanted to wait so I could tell you about it. On Thursday, November 3rd, Rooted Soul hosted a half-day retreat for local church planters. It was called Abide and is the first of what I hope will grow into be six retreats offered to church planters next year. Abide is spaced created for church planters to reconnect their hearts with the heart of God through meditation on scripture and…

Consumption is a very difficult idea to analyze. There are countless moving parts and seemingly endless variables because of how diverse and complex society is as a whole. There is no one solution to its many problems and many ways to improve upon what is good about it. Despite its flaws, it is necessary for modern society to exist. We are a part of it because this is the way humans have decided to live their lives. In the old days, mostly everyone provided for themselves. They lived off the…

such as creating an environment that lacks diversity, that increases office politics and could limit creative ideals (p.75). This information is not saying that it is a guarantee that this will be the outcome for all internal recruiting.

Having that understand would possibly insure that there is a healthy balance between internal recruiting and then external…

1. How will you remember to treat your team members as individuals? • Maxim: Listen the member’s opinion and remember they are your CO-workers.

Some people say that their flashbacks are never like the movies’ version, where the screen goes from the character doing something to the screen flashes to her point of view. And the view of the screen is too zoomed in, to where the viewer could not see the person or the object that the character is seeing, causing the character to forget how to breathe and have people worry for them. Everyone is different, but mine are exactly like how the movies describe it to be. Some are triggered by the…

thoughts as well. This isn 't one of my typical education and technology posts. In fact, it really doesn 't have much technology associated with it at all. At times it may ramble and be long-winded and not the most grammatically correct, but it is a good window into the thoughts that have been running through my mind, heart, and soul. And for those that have experienced this, I hope you can relate to it as well. This past week my little girl…

Good Can Outshine the Bad “There’s still a lot of good in the world.” The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is about two social groups, the Greasers and the Socs, who live in a city in Oklahoma. They do not get along and get into big trouble because of it. One character that stands out in the story is Johnny, because he encounters irony and lots of character development. He encounters irony mainly by killing a Soc, but soon after saving multiple children from a burning building. Throughout the book,…

positive instead of the negative. When someone achieves great success in study or work, we are supposed to praise them and give positive responses to encourage them to keep up the good work. When mistakes or errors occur, we should redirect the energy and attention to the right things without blame. It is really a good idea which could help people have a healthier relationship with not only the family, but also the colleagues. The book begins with a visit to the world-famous marine zoological…
