Forgiveness Forgiving someone who you believe has done wrong to you is a very difficult thing to do. Some people live their entire lives unwilling and unable to forgive someone else and carrying this burden on their shoulder all through their lives. For some, a grudge rakes place when you focus on the bad things that you think has happened to you.

THE HAPPY PEASANT A king once set out in disguise to discover for himself the happiest man in his kingdom. Having met hundreds of people, at long last he came across a poor peasant, singing happily as he tilled the soil. There was such a radiant joy on his face that the king was drawn irresistibly towards him. “Dear friend,” he said to the peasant. “Tell me the secret of your joy.” “It’s very simple, really,” said the peasant. “One-fourth of what I earn, I repay as the debt I owe; one-fourth,

Hamlet Rumor has is that every actor’s dream is to play Hamlet, and Hamlet-quotations have become household words, which crops up in the most various contexts. Both critics and psychologists have been tempted to explore the depth in this enigmatic Shakespeare-figure. Because Hamlet is a man who has a peculiar problem: It is incredibly hard for him to pull himself together to revenge his father’s death by killing his murderer – even though he is clearly expected to demand an eye for an eye, and

It seems to me that Twain is actually satirizing adult or "learned" behavior, or perhaps conformity in general. Notice how he treats several topics, such as obedience, deference or respect, and lying. He inserts certain words that betray the stated purpose. For example, he writes, "obey your parents, when they are present," because they "think they know better than you," actually implying that parents do not know more. Regarding respect, he writes, "Respect your superiors, if you have any...," as

God teaches His children that being sluggish will only cause one to stumble and endure the consequences from one’s laziness, while people with good work ethics will be truly blessed in the end.
