Throughout Breakfast with Buddha, Merullo writes about the lessons Rinpoche teaches to Otto. More of the straight forward lessons and guidance occur in chapters 23-34. These lessons are more like ideas for Otto to think about and if it would be acceptable to apply to his daily life. But, not only are the lessons for Otto to consider, they are meant for the audience to consider for themselves personally. When Otto and Rinpoche settle back in at the St. Mary’s Inn, Otto begins reading Rinpoche’s…

Values and Motives Affecting Fate From the beginning of Antigone, the sides are chosen. Creon, the new king, is motivated by his new position and feels he cannot let the people down. Antigone is motivated by her love for her family and the pain of the past. Both allow their values to run their actions despite laws being broken and family being killed. As all of this is taking place, the Chorus is there to guide the way. The Chorus acts as a director by showing the audience the scenes as they…

This whole process is built upon stewardship, justice and love and promotes a virtuous community. Without these practices, the economy will fall, as will all of the virtues built upon it. I also find interesting the way he describes Fortune and how we have no say in who has money and where it gets delegated. I personally…

We see in No Exit that there is a more than supernatural element when Estelle attempts to kill Inez by stabbing her, only to soon learn that she cannot die because they are already dead. The practicality of this event supports the idea that hell is designed…

Hell is a place for sinners whose souls suffer after death for the poor choices they commit in the world. It is a spiritual realm often referred to as the inferno for the evil suffering of the souls. Some people believe their sins are not significant enough to allow them to descend to hell. Some even believe that no sin is greater than the next and that all sin is equal. I believe certain sins are greater than others, and in my hell I will have child pornographers, dog fighters, domestic abusers…

The story of Medea, written by the Greek poet Euripides, is about a woman who goes on a vengeful killing spree, after being scorned by her husband, Jason.

She seeks out revenge for those who have caused her pain. As a result, Medea believes that revenge is justified. Medea seeks revenge to justify how her husband Jason has mocked…

In my counsel, I must remember to teach about the problem of sin instead of trying to deal with the repercussions of sin. A…
