do not believe in heaven and hell, or judgment day. The idea of sin does not exist in Buddhism. In addition, the relationship between a Buddha and his disciples is that of a teacher/student, not a God and his followers. Another difference between Buddhism and other religions is there is no savior concept. A Buddha does not have the ability to wash away impurities. They believe in cause and effect. There is an action, and a reaction. Also, the concept of “Hell” is different in the Buddhist

When you’re lost to it like I was, you always drink down. Beyond accepting everyday things like home, a job, a family, a neighbourhood. You drink beyond thinking, beyond emotion. Beyond the hope of the world. You drink down because after all the roads you’ve travelled, that’s the only direction you know by heart. You drink down to where you can’t hear voices anymore, can’t see faces, can’t touch anything, can't feel. You drink down to the place that only diehards drink cards now; the world at the

out the door of an unfair society, but they do not know the way out. They look up in the sky and see the deep gloomy blue world that never ends, and if they look down the deep black pavement that brings them more down and distinguishes itself like hell. A dystopia is basically a community where there is corruption or cruelty where people are destined to suffer. Have you ever thought what your life would be deserted in a snowy world where there is nobody there to accompany you? You

aren't quite done. "Aside from around the time of The Eminem Show, when I was also doing the 8 Mile movie and soundtrack and score and shit like that. This is probably the equivalent of that, but all focused on the record." Eminem on the Road Back From Hell A lot of fans – including Eminem himself, most days – consider 2000's original The Marshall Mathers LP his best. So making an album worthy of the name meant recording, and then discarding, dozens of extra songs. "Calling it The Marshall Mathers

While Dante’s placement of Mohammed in Hell is, in itself, implied, the latter’s damnation not only comes from a sense of divine justice but also acts as a reflection on and a warning to Dante on his individual journey to God. Dante, along with many of his peers and influences, views Islam as a false sect broken off from the core of Christianity and Mohammed as a Christian with a corrupted view of doctrine that lures potential followers from a true path of righteousness. Mohammed, like Dante, feels

The poems in Frank Stanford’s Constant Stranger do not adhere to a fixed form or pattern, ebbing into big stanzas and switching abruptly to small stanzas as the tone and narrative of the poems change. I thoroughly enjoyed how Stanford used these arrangements to give the poems a certain rhythmic beat, pace quicker and almost staccato when the stanzas were long, and drawn out when the stanzas were short. I also noticed how he employed single-line stanzas to punctuate the tempo of the poem. This can

In the eyes of Phillip Kent, the town was going to hell. First, they built the air force base that caused large military trucks to clog up the roads. Then they built the test site where they plotted the end of the world. And plot they did. Phillip would rant and rave and scream and complain to anyone that would listen. “They’re doing stuff over there that’s not right,” he would say, his hands shaking and his long face dripping with sweat. “I know. I read the Book of Revelations. I know end times

HOROSCOPES Aries (Mar. 21- April 19) : Aries have ramlike eyebrows and smug expressions. They should not be quite so smug because they are constantly clunking themselves in the skull. Cat Stevens' "Hard Headed Woman" was probably an Aries. Aries rarely say one thing and do another. They usually do the wrong thing and don't discuss it. Never point this out to an Aries unless you want your kidneys pulled out through your sinuses. Aries folks love Pisceans because Pisces people make them feel well-grounded
