...Erin Armstrong 11/23/11 “Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one's own sunshine.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson A Life of Crime Isn’t Hard to Find The movie Crime d'amour, (or Love Crime), exemplifies the human ability to manipulate and so deceive oneself of morality, as does O' Connor in "A Good Man is Hard to Find". In regards to the subject of moral judgment, psychologists and scientists alike have been baffled at the way human beings rationalize what behaviour is ‘moral’ or ‘immoral’. Are the things our society encourages us to see as bad concrete rights and wrongs, or does everyone develop their own right and wrongs based on their beliefs? When seeing Love Crime and reading “A Good Man is Hard to Find” I saw prime examples of human beings choosing to react irrationally, and immorally, with cruelty, deception, manipulation, and unfairness. I had the privilege of seeing Love Crime on the big screen at the Loft cinemas, and the experience definitely affected how I was able to picture the movie. First of all, I felt pretty comfortable there, which allowed me to really dive in to the movie instead of worrying about comfort. It was like...

...Love is something that means very different things to different people. For some, love can be purely romantic, or even purely sexual. For others, real love is utterly unconditional and only truly exists between family members, or between people and a deity. And for some people, love is fluid, ever changing, and everywhere, and is felt for family, friends, partners, pets, and even inanimate objects, dead artists, and fictional characters. None of these people would be right or wrong, but one thing is certain: love is the most powerful force in the entire universe. Between partners of any description, be they married or cohabiting, boyfriend and girlfriend, straight or gay, young or old, love is a relationship of mutual understanding and respect. Marriages and partnerships are often built on common ground that people find when they first meet; this can be as deep as sharing religious, philosophical or religious beliefs, or as simple as finding that you love the same film, book, or band. This kind of love is often reliant on some kind of ‘chemistry’: that strange feeling that they give you in the pit of your stomach, and the feeling that nothing in the world is more important to you than enjoying the moment you’re in together. Some people feel that they experience love at first sight, where they know from the minute they set eyes on each other that they want to to be with that person, but something built on common interests and understanding must be stronger. A parent’s love for...

...How Deep Is Your Self Love? By Jim Malloy Jun 4, 2008 One of the biggest lessons on the spiritual journey is learning to love unconditionally. However, what is often overlooked, is the importance of loving yourself along with everything else. After all, aren't you a part of the whole of Life? Here is a wonderful old haiku which illustrates this... "On my horse, clip-clopping through the field. Aha! I'm part of the picture!" As you grow to realize that you are an integral part of Life's grand picture, it becomes clear that loving yourself along with everything else is part of the mission. Some of you may feel uncomfortable with the idea of self love, because it's often interpreted as being overly self involved. Many religions teach that total selflessness is the ideal, and that self love is the antithesis of being selfless. I'm not at all knocking selflessness, but is self love really opposed to selflessness? And is it the same as...

...What does love even mean? It’s a word that I’ve heard and used all my life but it seems like nobody really has the same definition for it. It’s a simple four letter word so how come it’s so difficult to define and to measure and to understand. (1) Love is a powerful emotion, it’s a deep fire like passion inside of you that just can’t be controlled. (2) When you’re in love it’s one of the most exciting, rewarding, scariest things you could possibly do. (3) It hits you like a ton of bricks, like the air just got knocked out of your lungs, like the stinging feeling on your face on a cold winter day. It could possibly be one of the most bittersweet feelings that you experience in your life. It’s like a roller coaster full of ups and downs and turns left to right making you feel sick to your stomach but it’s not always the bad kind of sick feeling it could be the good kind when you’re overfilled with happiness and all you feel is butterflies. I mean I sure felt sick to my stomach whether it was because of those little beautiful butterflies that I shamefully miss so much or the awful heart rending feeling in my gut that brought me down to almost nothing making me feel so crushed and so empty. I really think to myself, how...

...aspect of divine love that surrounds your point of light. This vibrating sound will resonate through your entire being, but first bring its sound into your aura. Love integrates and brings everything together in harmony. Its symbol you imagine within the Spiritual Man above the head. It is a six pointed star. Can you perceive the sound of divine love? Can you feel the vibration of divine love? Assimilate it into the very cells of your body. Divine love heals, understand this, and embody its principles. You do not have to think about this, you just have to identify with it. This is not an intellectual process, just go with it, so to speak, and enter into synthesis and harmony, feel yourself in harmony with divine love, then many of your inner conflicts will disappear. Become aware of the aspect of divine will that surrounds your point of light, pause at this place of silence before you bring the sound of the divine will into your aura, you may use the sound of the OM to do this. Realise that the divine will relays to you your purpose. You have a purpose other than your personality life. Whilst sounding the OM, also wish that your purpose become known...

...Analysis of Bacon’s essay ‘OF LOVE’ In this essay, “Of Love” Bacon tries to alter reader’s understanding by pointing out the shortcomings of love by focuses his attention on three points: Love is entertaining only on stage, it is an exaggerated form of expression in literature and wisdom and love wouldn’t coexist. He starts his essay by plunging direct into the crux of his argument which is confined in a short sentence, “The stage is more beholding of Love, than the real life of man.” He in the next line articulates the Aristotelian classification of stage i.e. tragedy and comedy. He believes that only plays are capable of portraying love that is pure and gives joy while in reality love is digressive, deluding and impish in nature like siren who deluded Odysseus on his voyage to home. He strengthens his argument by the dichotomous nature of Marcus Antony and Appius Claudius, where the former became the victim and the latter was the victor of this passion because, “love can find entrance not only into an open heart, but also a heart well fortified, if watch be not well kept." Bacon’s notion can be treated as a perception not as a rule to sentry emotions. According to him, Marcus Antonius, cohort of Appius Cladius, who was an “Austere and wise man”, was infiltrated by an astute passion because his “watch was not well kept”. Bacon is convinced that “Great spirits and great business do keep this weak passion”. But may we infer that Antonius was a "greater" man than Claudius because...

...Definition Essay: Define Love “ Love: a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person; a feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, child, or friend.” (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/love?s=t ).This definition is saying that love is just a connection you feel to another, such as your parent, friend, sibling, or significant other. Though this is true, that is not all of what love is, for there are more complex meanings to love. Love is being there for someone that depends on you when they need you. No matter the situation you should be there for whoever may need you if you truly love them. Love is having someone's back whether they are wrong or right. Love is fighting with your siblings,...

...The Four Loves is philosophical Literature based on the different loves described in Greek thought. Consider what Lewis indicates about each one of the four loves, familial or affectionate love (storge), friendship (philia), romantic love (Eros), and spiritual love (agape), and present your own philosophical treatment for each of these. Incorporate 2 to 3 scholarly research sources for this argument essay. Use MLA citation. Create an argument that is 4 to 5 double-spaced pages, exclusive of the work cited page. Consult the Writing Rubric. Proofreads thoroughly. 15th Century philosopher, Francois De La Rochefund stated, “There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand different versions.” In The Four Loves, C. S. Lewis presented his philosophical view on The Four Loves as described in Greek thought. They are, namely, Familial or Affectionate love, Friendship, Romantic love and, Spiritual love. Lewis led the readers to reflect on his interpretation of each type as he tried to prove that the real glory of the natural loves lies in the divine love of God. This divine love is the highest form of love, and all the other loves are its offspring. Lewis first discussed the affectionate love also known as Storge. According to Lewis, “almost anyone can become an object of affection It ignores the barriers of sex, age, class, education” (p. 55 -56). There are different types of attachment that may develop between two persons or between an individual and an object. This affection...

...perception on the topic of what love is. Each of our perspectives on this topic is valid in a way because there is no true meaning on what love is. The symbols of love all represent it differently for example the “rose” represents intimacy and passion, Diamonds are worn to symbolize eternal love, and etc. These are just two of the many symbols and what types of love they each symbolize. There are different types of love according to the article “What is love?” the psychotherapist: ‘Love has many guises’, “the ancients did not lump all the various emotions that we label ‘Love’ under one word. They had several variations”. There are many meanings to love and the symbols behind each and everyone...

...Are teenagers familiarized with the concept and the outcomes a passion such as this could have on the lives of others when taking abrupt decisions? Investigations have shown that some of the major participants such as Friar Lawrence, participated aiming for peace rather than love as he has strongly condemned Romeo´s unstable desires. This was due to the parent´s blindness when considering love. Sometimes, ancestors may provide accurate advice to avoid such a catastrophe and chaos as in this situation, but when a nemesis is imposed and an ideology emphasized, the human nature leads to rebellious actions. When there is not a present and adequate communication between the parents and the daughter or son, depression could develop especially among young adults. Subsequently, this would mean that no positive advice or counsel would improve the state of mind the person could have and show to other people surrounding them. This increases the environment of an introverted mind, which in a moment of suffering, submitted to death with a poison. On the other hand, in the case of Juliet...

...What is love? Well, love gives, it is generous. It is a certain sensation of inner warmth that you will feel no other way, but to be encompassed by it. Love is not a necklace or a pair of nice shoes, but it is the thought you put behind that present. Love knows no boundaries or distance. Love can be a five minute drive, a phone call away, or even a plane ticket you buy for a big surprise. Love can be hours away, love can be states away, love can be in different countries.This is because love requires effort, without effort there would be no love. Love is the little things you do. Love is a kiss on the cheek or on the forehead. Love is giving up the last slice of buffalo chicken pizza because you know that it’s his favorite. Love is that movie...

...Love Story, (2008) by Taylor Swift demonstrates myth #1 by suggesting to the masses that nothing and no one can separate two people who love each other, even if it requires sneaking around, and lying. Love story also demonstrates myth #10 by promoting that a woman, in this case, must find a mate in order to be “saved” and truly happy, suggesting that without a mate, a woman would be incapable of happiness or worth. Throughout the song Swift, (Juliet), expresses her fathers’ views that oppose her relationship with Romeo, only to suggest that secretly seeing him was not only acceptable if it meant she was with her true love, but that this would ultimately gain her fathers’ approval in the end. When Romeo is nowhere to be found Juliet expresses her sadness, loneliness, and longing for Romeo to save her. In reality, Juliet is capable of finding another person whom may bring her happiness, and that she can fill her own life with joy on her own rather than being dependent on Romeo. Though Love Story was a hit single for Swift, the song contradicts reality and creates a fantasy-like result from otherwise compromising situations in real life relationships. Love Story should be thoughtfully examined and analyzed in order to decipher fantasy versus reality, and promote more realistic probabilities based on rational models....

...By hypothesis, the principle of self-love (“Always seek your own happiness”) is an objective principle. I will assume, as seems plausible, that the assumption behind the principle of self-love is that each person’s own happiness is something that each rational being (by hypothesis, given that the principle of self-love is an objective principle) has the same ground for seeking. The contradiction in willing the principle of self-love to be a universal law would be that in doing what he has objective grounds to do he thereby frustrates his own ends (he cannot achieve his ends, because in seeking them he would thereby frustrate them). By willing that each agent seek his own happiness, the egoist would thereby thwart his own end of seeking his...
