never love you more than loving “thyself” first. And why should he or she? I mean, come on, I shouldn’t be the one to break the bad news that even you do not love your sex partner or spouse more than you do yourself. Do not waste time lying about it! Say and act the part all you want about “I love you,” however, with personal feelings, serving as a guide, it is always about "me" first. Hence, this analogy summarizes the explanation of human feelings, which is love “thyself” first before ever…

oracle would go into a trance and give her prophecies. It was then interpreted by a priest and an answer was given. They were usually vague and could be interpreted in different ways therefore she was never wrong. On the temple the statement “know thyself” was carved and was one of Apollos maxims. We then went up to the theatre and from here we had a view of the entire sanctuary and valley below. The theatre had seven tiers and could fit 4,500 attendants. Vocal and musical contests were held…

In The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne uses numerous techniques such as imagery and allusions to characterize Chillingworth and Hester.

some very important philosophers that even to this day their ideas continue to affect us in our everyday lives. The ideas of Socrates affect us today in our day to day lives, because they make us question many things. One of Socrates ideas was to “know thyself, he urged self-examination and questioning of one’s own and others ideas and assumptions” (DiYanni 93). He wanted people to not just agree and think what everyone else thought without questioning what they believed in. He wanted people to…

John Keats’, “Ode on a Grecian Urn,” shed light on how to find truth, what it is, and what it isn’t. “An Essay on Man” uses rationalist idealism to convey that the reader must trust their instincts. That is essentially what Pope’s thesis is, “Know then thyself, presume not God to scan; the proper study of mankind is man.” One should not turn to a higher being for truth or answers; they should reflect upon themselves. If they are struggling with an idea, then the only way to find an answer is to…

pursuit of knowledge. Socrates, as recounted within Plato’s The Apology, contemplated the idea of whether or not he was indeed truly wise because of his wisdom or that in spite of it, he was wise simply because he knew that he wasn’t and in fact did not know all. “I… asked myself whether I would be as I was – neither wise with their wisdom nor ignorant with their ignorance – or possess both qualities as they did.” (Plato, 46) He may not have so succinctly and unbeknownst to him summarily given…
