...believe that death is such an important process in nature that, without it, life could not exist. From the moment of birth the cells in the body are endlessly dying and being replaced. They believe that the body that dies is not the body that was born. we continuously shed and rework our appearance, our attitudes and our habits as we change from one stage of life to the next. The person that dies is only one of the many people we became throughout our lives. Many Pagan’s believe that if they are to be able to think beyond the conventional view of death, they need to ask themselves if the fear of death is rooted in an earlier, version of themselves that should have been let go. It is understood that each person needs to seek other ways in which to view both life and death; There are a few different ways for Pagans to see life and death, all of them are cyclical patterns, involving that same necessary change. The Wheel of Life The first way to see life and death is called The Wheel of Life. The Wheel of Life tells us that our existence is a constant pattern of cyclical change. Life is constantly changing into death and each moment of death is a moment of rebirth. They acknowledge beginnings and endings within this wheel, but the flow of existence is never-ending. The Wheel of Life is not only a figurative notion but a physical tool as well. The tool itself is a sacred tool often passed down through the family and is unique to each family. That being said however, they all...

...My Way by Paul Anka 1969; A Song Lyrics Analysis * Lyrics My Way by Paul Anka 1969 And now, the end is near; And so I face the final curtain. My friend, I'll say it clear, I'll state my case, of which I'm certain. I've lived a life that's full. I've traveled each and every highway; But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Regrets, I've had a few; But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do And saw it through without exemption. I planned each charted course; Each careful step along the byway, But more, much more than this, I did it my way. Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew. But through it all, when there was doubt, I ate it up and spit it out. I faced it all and I stood tall; And did it my way. I've loved, I've laughed and cried. I've had my fill; my share of losing. And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing. To think I did all that; And may I say - not in a shy way, "No, oh no not me, I did it my way". For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels; And not the words of one who kneels. The record shows I took the blows - And did it my way! * Theme The lyrics of "My Way" tell the story of a man who, having grown old, reflects on his life as death approaches. He is comfortable with his mortality and takes responsibility for how he dealt with all the challenges of life while...

...your life. In John 3:16 says, “God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life” In this verse gave us the solution to all of our problems, He loves us so much He gave us a way out from all of our sins. This was Jesus plan when He came to Earth, in John 10:10 says, “I came that they might have life, and might have it abundantly”. The reason most people don’t experience an abundant life is because of the second law. Law two: Man is sinful and separated from God. Therefore he cannot know and experience God’s love and plan for his life. In Roman’s 3:23 says, “All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” This verse alone states that everyone is a sinner, and everyone fall short of the glory of God. When Adam chose to go on his own independent way, the fellowship with God was broken. Sin became are natural nature in our lives, this is why there’s no one righteous through the eyes of God. In Roman 6:23 says, “The wages of sin is death” meaning we are spiritually separated from God. The third law is the only way we could be righteous through the eyes of God. Third law: Jesus Christ is God’s only provision for man’s sin. Through him you can know and experience God’s love and plan for your life. In Roman 5:8, “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us”. Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation, he states this in John 14:6 which says, “I am the way, and...

...passionate admirer of art, an intellectual dandy and a keen advocate of the Aesthetic Movement. Through his essay The Decay of Lying: An Observation, Wilde uses an obviously self-modelled character named Vivian to set out a series of doctrines which detail his personal philosophy on the relationship that exists between art and life, and the rolls that they should play. Chiefly these are: art should only express itself, expressing life and nature makes for bad art, life imitates art more than art imitates life, and that lying is the true aim of art . When applied to his novel The Picture of Dorian Gray these doctrines add an extra layer of meaning to the themes already presented, and this allows for a greater level of understanding. There are several instances during the narrative of the novel which show a relationship between the roles of art and life, and the ways in which they are separated, combined, and reversed. Understanding the theories set out by Vivian helps with comprehending the relationship between Dorian and his portrait, as well as with his friends Lord Henry and Basil Hallward. The Decay of Lying is presented as a slightly confusing and seemingly contradictory essay on the relationship between art and life which treads the border between being sincere and ironic, while The Picture of Dorian Gray is a metaphor infused novel which blurs the lines between art and life as actively as it seeks to separate them. Both writings leave room for speculation regarding their...

...Abortion is one of the most controversial topics that faces society in today’s world. This controversial topic has caused many deaths and several heated arguments between the two separate parties of opinion. The arguments between pro-life and pro-choice supporters have been long and can be very violent. This argument will continue to go on for years, but based on your opinion there are legitimate arguments for both sides. It all depends on personal opinion whether or not each side can say with certainty that the other one is wrong. The two sides to abortion are pro-life and pro-choice, and this is an issue that politicians face in every election, and it plays a big role in how many citizens decide on who they are going to vote for in the election. The many court cases that involved abortion have influenced United States history in a big way. These court cases include: Stenberg v. Carhart, Roe v. Wade, and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. Abortion in the United States has been banned and legalized throughout the history of this country, and the interest groups involving this topic have had many heated arguments throughout the years, and continue to have them today. Abortion is the voluntary termination of a pregnancy, resulting in the death of the fetus or embryo (Gill). Abortion is a topic that has been around for a long time, and is something that has been debated in just about every society.

...Everyone experiences adversity at some point in their lives. Some people do not believe that adversity is needed in life, and they can travel through life without any conflict. That simply is not true. Everyone will experience it. Golda Meir once said that, "You'll never find a better sparring partner than adversity." Adversity is the best sparring partner because it strengthens character, helps develop humility, and teaches life lessons that cannot be learned in any other way. Through trials of adversity, character can be learned. Many parents enroll their children into karate lessons that include the event of sparring. They do this so their children can learn how to work hard, be tough, never give up and keep fighting. Those are all essential characteristics that a child needs to learn. In the quote from Golda Meir, he says that adversity is the best sparring partner. Just like sparring can teach children and adults many things, adversity will teach the most. It is inevitable and is the best way to learn. Often there is no escape from adversity and...

..."The life of man is a journey; a journey that must be traveled, however bad the roads or the accommodation" (Goldsmith, n.d.). This quote by Oliver Goldsmith (n.d.) focuses on how every life is a journey that they need to go on. No matter what happens in live, the only place to go is forward. In the movie "Life is Beautiful" (2000) and Elie Wiesel's (2006) book Night, Elie and Joshua's lives are not bright. They are going through one of the hardest times of their lives, whether they know it or not. God provided for both boys to keep their paths straight and keep them moving through the torturous times. With love, life is hard to live; thankfully, both Elie and Joshua had their fathers to stand beside them and give them the encouragement to...

...However, the Jews still found ways to help each other survive these horrible conditions. Conditions in the Jewish Ghettos weren’t that great. One reason is the Jewish residents were very packed and crammed together. For example, the article “Ghettos” states that “In Warsaw, more than 400000 Jews were crowded into an area of 1.3 square miles.” This shows that Jews were crowded and packed into a small area, with no space or anywhere to be free. Another reason that the conditions weren’t liveable in the Jewish Ghettos is they experienced severe hunger. For example, the article “Life in the Ghettos.” states that “Children often lived on the paths of the ghettos, begging for bits of bread and many starved to death.” This shows that Jews barely had enough food to live on which resulted in severe starvation and even death. In conclusion, Jews experienced harsh and unlivable conditions throughout their life in the ghettos. Jews died in unforgettable ways in the ghettos. One way the Jews died was from disease. For...

...injury or threat to their lives. Every person suffers at some point in their life through problems, injuries, or deaths of loved ones or suffer through traumatic events. We as human services providers will listen to many traumatic events, problems, and suffering stories of the clients that help. Some stories may be worse than others and harder to listen too. Vicarious trauma is the process in which the professional has gone through a shift on the way they see themselves, others and the world do to listening too or getting attached to the client traumatic experience (Kress, 2004). Vicarious Trauma causes changes in the person’s identity, memory, and belief system, which causes change in their personal life, relationships, and the way they view the world and others. When a person listens to the details of the client’s traumatic experience, they become witnesses to the traumatic realities, they picture and they play out the events in their mind, which leads to a transformation within the psychological functioning of counselors (Kress, 2004). Even those that work in other careers, like police officers, emergency medical workers, and firefighters go through vicarious traumas. I as a human being has not gone through a vicarious trauma, and I don’t know of many people that have gone through it. Even though I have not gone through it or I don’t know any person, it doesn’t mean that I will never go through it and more when I start working with human services because I will listen to...

...Thankful Breath Through this story, the author portrays what everyone goes through in life; life is like a hail of arrows (impact of the giant diving bell) that you continuously maneuver through with an open mind (mind takes flight like a butterfly). This story is about a person going through “locked-in syndrome” which is paralysis from head to toe after resuscitation from a brain stem accident and despite all of that, they are still able to see the brighter side in life. Day in and day out, people look for the easiest possible way out. Choosing wants over needs, a person’s poverty becomes another person’s luxury. On the eight of December, “I was brutally introduced to the importance of the brain stem when a cerebrovascular accident took my brain stem out of action.” You are able to survive, but you survive with a symptom known as “locked-in syndrome”. The inability to move, your own mind imprisoned within yourself, doesn’t that sound familiar? The feeling of paranoia and anxiety seeping through your heart with every beat as your life takes a wrong turn. Your feelings constricted, the exact way your soul is when deciding to listen your heart or your head. There are times when listening to your head will suffice when compared to what’s being said in your heart. Persistence comes to mind; your “diving bell becomes less oppressive, and your mind takes flight like a butterfly.” You are what you eat; the same mentality is embedded in life. You are what you experience and experience...

...present, and were worshiped by many. Their messages are also being carried out through the world in present day, by the followers of each religion. Examining and getting closer to the position in each religion that these key people had is extremely important into understanding each religion in present day. Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary in 4 B.C.E, but his followers believe that he was conceived by God, which is known as the immaculate conception of the Virgin Mother. His family was in Bethlehem during his birth, but then later returned to Nazareth where he grew up. He was named Jesus which means, “God saves” (Fisher, 2005). Jesus’ life wasn’t noted until he was the age of about twelve, when he traveled to Jerusalem and his parents left him behind, and was found by rabbis reading the Torah. He was reprimanded by the rabbis, and it started his quest for understanding and connection between him and God. This started his quest of finding himself as well, and the Christian religion began to then develop. Jesus through his twenties was trying to branch out of Judaism and was one of the few reformers in the Jewish faith, and was considered to be a prophet of his time (Stofka, 2012). Jesus hit the age of thirty, and it was when his life started to drastically change and little would he know that his path would change history forever. According to his followers, Jesus chose disciples to follow him through Palestine to preach the Word of God. He was arrested in...
