Once upon a time, there were two worlds in the earth, the first one was human’s world and another one was god’s world. Human world was ruled by god, but both of them could stay in a good harmony. god’sworld was up in the sky as far as the human eyes could still see, but human world was down on the earth, on the ground where god could see from the place they were residing. Human race praised their gods for always being there, helping human in many situation. For example, when summer started to come, a Rain God would always be there to assist human needs of water by sending them rain, so human really honored and praised Him. But the most powerful god was the God of Light. God of Light gave its light to human being for their everyday life and he is very important for both of the world.
God of Light had a son named Sun. Sun characteristic was very emotional, likely to be jealous, hot-tempered, but He was also warm-hearted, brave, willing to sacrifice and to consider about others. There was also another god who was important and pretty popular among gods in the sky, he is God of Beauty. God of Beauty had a daughter named Moon. Moon was very beautiful, elegant, but shy and inconsistent. It would take hard times to make up her mind. Both of these gods had been such a closed-friend since long time ago.
One day, God of Light and God of Beauty met in a party. They brought along their own child. In that day, the party wasso big and chaotic, the moon was separated from her parents. She was so frightened because she was alone without no one she knew.Moreover, she was so shy to ask people around to help her find her parents. She was scared and lastly decided to sit in the corner, she cried because she didn’t know what to do. In that time, Sun was standing in the middle of crowd party and saw a woman crying in the corner of the room. Thus he approached the woman who was actually Moon. Being so warm-hearted and considerable person, Sun’s curiosity emerged as he asked the Moon,“Why are you crying?”,
The Moon innocently replied, “I…I’m…lost and alone.”
Sun was a brave and well-mannered man, he took Moon’s hand and passed through the crowd of people, looked for his father. He said, “It’s okay, you are not alone, I’ll find your parents”. Sun then brought Moon to his parents. He talked to his father that Moon was lost. Unpredictably, Sun’s father recognized the girl as his best friend’s daughter. Henceforth, Sun’s father helped her to find her parents, God of Beauty. Subsequently, they introduced their child to each other. After that party, they often met each other to play together and became friends since then.
They loved to play together. Sometimes, Sun visited Moon’s house, and so did Moon. They were playing slides at playground, “hide and seek” game, cooking and pretending to play restaurant, playing “tag and run”, or even just sit in the garden and told a story about what had happened to them during that day.They shared experienced and encouraged each other. If one of them got sick, the other would visit and take care of the sick one. They never missed any chance to give affection to each other. They also went to the same school since kindergarten until high school. They were inseparable.
Even in the high school, they share the same class. They became closer than ever. They always studied together and shared their lunch-boxes. They always shared their problems and solved it together. After school, they usually hang out together to park for relieving their stress, eating ice cream or watching Sun’s father made a sunset. When Moon is having a bad day, Sun always brighten her day and Moon’s smile made the Sun even happier. They feel comfortable with each other.
Day by day passed by, both of them know something is going on between them, their feeling toward each other. They had this thrilling felling every time they met, so they decided to have more intense meeting with each other. Until one day, Sun encourage himself to ask Moon go out. They went for a candle light dinner down to the earth, to find the best spot for both of them, near a lake with a candle and flowers petal floating on the lake, Sun make a confession to Moon and ask her whether she want to be his girlfriend. Moon accepts him and finally, they started dating. Apparently there is a human called Star, he was fishing in the lake and caught those moment. He saw how pretty the girl was. He saw it from far away, so he thought that it’s just a dream and back fishing again.
A few months later, their relationship faced a hardship. Usually in their anniversary day, Moon always made an apple pie, cuts some strawberries, grilled fish for Sun to celebrate their anniversary and Sun always came on time with hand full of bouquet of red roses, along with a box of chocolate. But recently, Sun is getting busier with his school activity and had less time to spare with Moon. They are rarely met each other now. One day, Sun had a basketball competition and totally forgot to celebrate their anniversary day with her. Moon has prepared all the dishes that she made to celebrate their anniversary. Moon kept waiting for Sun’s call, but the phone never rang, not even once. Moon waited for 3 hours, but Sun didn’t come to her house. Moon was really disappointed on Sun. Moon hopes that Sun will came by at her house and celebrate their anniversary day together, but it didn’t happen. After waited for 1 hour more, finally Sun came to Moon’s house holding a trophy on his hand. Then moon is expressing her disappointment to Sun, but Sun is mad at her and said that Moon was so immature because he was there to won a basketball game to make their school proud and also made Moon proud and he storm off from Moon’s room. Leaving Moon alone and really sad that she cried herself to sleep.
After their conflict, Moon is gloomy and each day it just got so much worse. She always went alone everyday day because Sun is busier with his basketball team. They never contacted each other anymore and never been seen together again. Moon was daydreaming in her room alone and her mind brought her to the moments that she had with Sun before. She is missing the old times when the sweet moment was made

She was crying in silence and would not be expecting that he would do such things like that. She wantedto go back to the time when they just became a best friend. The joy, happiness, togetherness, and affection they had built came into Moon’s memory. Out of the blue, a man called Star saw her and thought how familiar she was. He wanted to approach the girl but scared of being ignored thus he went away.
Next day, there was a new student in Sun and Moon school, he was Star. Star was a Demi God, he was the son from God of Justice but his mother was a human. He was very charming, handsome, kind, caring, calming and full of justice. When he was introducing himself in front of the class, he saw Moon. She was so gloomy, unhappy, and looked lonely, Star noticed something that made Moon felt so familiar to him. Instantly Star remembered that he had seen Moon yesterday at the park, he also noticed that Moon was a beautiful girl in the lake that he had seen on the other night. He was directly captivated by Moon’s charm at that very time due to her beauty and mystery lying behind her.
At break time, many girls wanted to be acquainted with Star because he was very handsome and charming. But different with moon, she just sat on her chair and ate her lunch alone while watching Sun sitting with his friends and looked so easily on forgetting about her. Star extensively came near to Moon and opened up a chat with her. As we know, Moon was a shy girl, so she didn’t talked much to Star.
At the afternoon, Moonsat in the park as usual and felt free to think about her life. At the same time, Star who was just passing the park in the route of going home from school saw her and approached her then talked to her. He wondered why she looked so gloomy. However, Moon still in doubt whether she could tell the truth or not. Star didn’tforce Moon to tell what had happened with her. But Star tried to calm her down and said, “Everything will be okay, Moon. You can share your problems whenever you want.”At that time, Moon felt better and comfortable with Star, so she shared her mind and thoughts with Star, they thus became a good friend since then.
Everyday now, Star picked up Moon at her house and went to school together. Sun saw this things over and over, he also saw that Moon always talked, ate, played, and did everything together with Star and those made Sun jealous. Sun was angry about that situation and wanted to do something to Star. From that time, Sun started to make a plan.
At the afternoon, after the school was over, Sun was asking Moon to meet him and it was such a surprise because the last time they talked was at those fight. Sun and Moon then met, Sun apologized for what he had done in their anniversary day and Moon accepted it. After that, Sun asked Moon if she wanted to go home with him.But disappointingly, Moon said she would go home with Star. Sun was so angry at that time and started to yell at Moon. He said that both of them should break up and so Moon could be with Star. But then Moon cried, she told Sun that he was the one who caused everything happening now, he loved to playmore with his friends and abandoned Moon. Sun didn’t want to hear it, he thoughtthat it was just the Moon trying to make an excuse. Terrifyingly, Sun told Moon that Star wouldn’t ever be found again.
Moon was frightened about Sun’s word, it meant something bad would happen to Star, so she ran and found Star that was perfectly fine. He was waiting for Moon in the park while drinking juice. Moon was relieved and hugged Star because she thought something bad might happen to him. But then Moon remembered that she had saw before, Sun gave something to Star. Not long after Star finished his juice, a light emerged from inside of his body and Star was floating up in the sky. Suddenly BOOM, Star was gone. Star was disappeared and couldn’t be foundanymore, but she could hear Star’s voices everywhere up in the sky. Moon then looked up and saw an exquisite light in small particles scattered all over the sky. Moon couldn’t hold her tears to fall, and blamed Sun for all the things happened. Sun who saw this moment was really shocked also. Sun felt so bad about this, but the curse couldn’t be undo.
Sun felt really bad about this, he saw Moon crying because she had lost Star. For this reason, Sun made a system applied in space that human can see it everyday now. Moon showsup in the dark with Stars surrounding her every night and Sun remains alone in the daylight. Sun feels so horrible about himself thus both Sun and Moon will never be in the same time because Sun thought that Moon was still angry with him. Nevertheless, there will be one time ineach year when the three of them can meet together, in the eclipse time. They can reconcile and make their relationship better in that time.

Press, 1953 (189c-189d) p 520 to (193d-193e) p 525 Aristophanes professed to open another vein of discourse; he had a mind to praise Love in another way, unlike that of either Pausanias or Eryximachus. Mankind, he said, judging by their neglect of him, have never, as I think, at all understood the power of Love. For if they had understood him they would surely have built noble temples and altars, and offered solemn sacrifices in his honour; but this is not done, and most certainly ought to be done: since of all the gods he is the best friend of men, the helper and the healer of the ills which are the great impediment to the happiness of the race. I will try to describe his power to you, and you shall teach the rest of the world what I am teaching you. In the first place, let me treat of the nature of man and what has happened to it. The original human nature was not like the present, but different. The sexes were not two as they are now, but originally three in number; there was man, woman, and the union of the two, of which the name survives but nothing else. Once it was a distinct kind, with a bodily shape and a name of its own, constituted by the union of the male and the female: but now only the word 'androgynous' is preserved, and that as a term of reproach. In the second place, the primeval man was round, his back and sides forming a circle;...

The Perception of Ignorance

...The Perception of Ignorance When it comes to culture and identity ignorance can play an important role between success and failure. The stories below will provide examples of how our ignorance as a society can determine how we perceive others as well as how we are perceived by others. Sonny’s Blues Sonny’s Blues is a short story that illustrates the ignorance of the narrator to his Brother Sonny’s dream of becoming a jazz musician. The narrator thinks that life flows on the ability to just make a living that people do not have to find happiness in working to live. However, this way of thinking is different for Sonny, For example, the narrator says “Well, look, Sonny, I’m sorry, don’t get mad. I just don’t altogether get it, that’s all. Name somebody—you know, a jazz musician you admire.” (Baldwin, 1957, pg.575). Sonny responds with “Bird” (Baldwin, 1957, pg.575) and the narrator responds with “who?” After lighting a cigarette and taking a step back from the conversation, the narrator realizes how out of touch from society he has become. He is shocked and entertained by the fact that his body is trembling. The narrator tells Sonny that he will have to be patient with his ignorance on who Charlie Parker is (Baldwin, 1957, pg.575). This is Sonny’s world through his own eyes and this is what happiness is to him, the culture of jazz playing is his identity. As stated above, Sonny relates to jazz in ways that the narrator cannot understand. The narrator’s ignorance of...

It is a beautiful morning, the birds are chirping and the sun is shining, warming the winter air. I get up from my bed from the gentle urging of my robot Janice. She awakens me with a cup of coffee and some strawberries. “Good morning Arthur, it’s time to get up and prepare for your birthday. I have contacted all of your family and friends and they will attend the festivities. “ I can’t believe it has been sixty years. I remember a time when life was so simple and people actually worked for a living. I grew up on a large family farm and we grew everything that we ate. Now the food is grown in hot houses and never touches the soil. The main work source was animals and humans. Families were larger; some families had seven or eight children because they needed a free labor source. The clothes were sewn and made of cotton, the same crop that we grew on our farm and sold at the market. Now we have recycled cotton or clothes made from seaweed or some other plant. We use to fight wars and lose human resources but now the world has changed and we use robots as soldiers. The cars all used fossil fuels and your car was your status symbol. The bigger the vehicle you owned supposedly the larger your status. You use to spend an enormous amount of time waiting to get a doctor’s appointment but this has changed.

Religion

...Chapter 8,9,& 10 1. Are Taoism and Confucianism truly religions argue both sides. Taoism and Confucianism are two very different religious traditions of ancient China. Both Taoism and Confucianism cannot clearly be explained as a religion with certain doctrines and rituals as other well –known religions. As religious and social forces, they have coexisted for centuries in China and have spread to other Asian regions. The name Taoism is taken from the title of the book called “Tao Te Ching, which translates to “the way of nature. Taoism is based on the ancient Chinese understanding of the universe. Historically, the origin of Taoist philosophy is unclear, but it is said that the founder of Taoism is Lao-tzu, who lived in the sixth century B.C.E. Taoism can be described in terms of its history and its effects on Chinese people, nut it cannot be clearly delineated as a religion with a certain body of doctrine and rituals of Chinese antiquity. Philosophically, for Taoism, the ideal life is one that is lived in harmony with the way of this shifting nature. By the early centuries of the Common Era, Taoism had been converted into a religion complete with gods, priests, temples and sacrifices. In the modern days, Taoism is mainly associated with charms, exorcisms and magical attempts to prolong life, in which there is a self-generating force called chi (rather than there being a Creator Deity). This force manifests two interplaying aspects: yin and yang. Yin is the dark...

Budhism

...------------------------------------------------- Ensō Zen art exemplifies the Zen ideals of simplicity and spontaneity, and most often takes the form of calligraphy and simple ink drawings. The Zen circle, a popular motif in Zen art, represents the entire universe in a single, perfect stroke. Although simple, images like this are difficult to paint successfully and thus must be done with a clear mind focused on the task. Abhaya Mudra (Gesture of Fearlessness) Abhaya in Sanskrit means fearlessness, and the abhaya mudra symbolizes protection, peace, and the dispelling of fear. The gesture is made with the right hand raised to shoulder height, arm bent, and palm facing outward. The gesture is an ancient one, demonstrating that the hand is empty of weapons and thus indicating friendship and peace. To western eyes, it looks like the gesture meaning "stop." In both cases, the gesture implies fearlessness before a potential enemy. In Buddhism, the gesture is a symbol of the fearlessness—and thus the spiritual power—of the Buddha or bodhisattva who makes it. According to Buddhist tradition, the historical Buddha made this gesture immediately after gaining enlightenment. And later, when the historical Buddha was about to be attacked by an angry elephant, he held up his hand in the fearlessness gesture and immediately calmed it. The gesture of fearlessness is is only seen on Buddhas or boddhisatvas and appears most commonly in standing images. In Thailand and Laos, the abhaya...

As a rational theoretical tool of comprehending the world, philosophy arose in ancient Greece in stiff battle with mythology and religious consciousness. It came out to lay the foundation for the evolvement of scientific consciousness and the emergence and development of the sciences - Mathematics, Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc. In an environment rife with various and varying superstitions and myths, the study of the History of Science and Philosophy of Science becomes crucial, lest science itself falls within the ambit of mythology and superstition and becomes another form of myth even in the hands of the tutored.

A Translator's Coming of Age

...A Translator’s Coming of Age by Omaya Ibrahim Khalifa Through studying the three translations of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet done by Mohammed Enani in 1965, 1986 and 1993 respectively, this study adopts a diachronic approach. In addition to examining the historical dimension, this study attempts to address itself to crucial questions related to the process of translating a literary text. A few of these are: how a translator can approach a given text in three different ways and how each translation changes according to the approach and the methods chosen by the translator. More importantly, the study proposes to discuss the pragmatic conditions governing the act of translation and how far these result in prominent modifications in the relationship between the source and target texts. The first part of this study discusses the problem or problems which confront a translator attempting to transpose Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet into Arabic, and the second analyses the three translations and how each deals with the problems discussed. Mohammed Enani, in his introduction to his third translation of Romeo and Juliet, singles out tone as the main difficulty that faces any translator attempting a rendering of the play. In the Elizabethan era romance was regarded as a subject for comedy and as such allowed playful treatment. Harry Levin explains that Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet was an innovation at the time. He reveals the effect of the play on contemporary audiences...

Occasionally, one encounters persons calling themselves “theoretical magicians” and thus meaning that they subscribe to the magical paradigms without practising magic. But, theoretical magic is a contradiction. Magic is practice, action. Eugenio Trias, professor in philosophy, have pointed out that the word magic can be traced back to the same root as make (Swedish makt meaning ‘power’, German machen meaning ‘do’ or ‘make’). Magic is a creative, creating force through which the magician enables his visions through action. This is echoed in the Draconian magical formula: Visio, Vires, Actio: Vision, Force, Action. Practising magic, however, is an art that demands dedication, patience and discipline. A process of ennobling is demanded to develop the magical abilities, a path of initiation, an alchemy in which vision and action are united into a whole. The Magical Week on Gotland is the most important magical highlight of the year, where we unite magical work with inspiring social activities and there will be a unique opportunity to work magically in depth together with others in Dragon Rouge.

Philippine Folklore

...PHILIPPINE FOLKLORE: ENGKANTO BELIEFS HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Philippine mythology is derived from Philippine folk literature, which is the traditional oral literature of the Filipino people. This refers to a wide range of material due to the ethnic mix of the Philippines. Each unique ethnic group has its own stories and myths to tell. While the oral and thus changeable aspect of folk literature is an important defining characteristic, much of this oral tradition had been written into a print format. University of the Philippines professor, Damiana Eugenio, classified Philippines Folk Literature into three major groups: folk narratives, folk speech, and folk songs. Folk narratives can either be in prose: the myth, the alamat (legend), and the kuwentong bayan (folktale), or in verse, as in the case of the folk epic. Folk speech includes the bugtong (riddle) and the salawikain (proverbs). Folk songs that can be sub-classified into those that tell a story (folk ballads) are a relative rarity in Philippine folk literature.[1] Before the coming of Christianity, the people of these lands had some kind of religion. For no people however primitive is ever devoid of religion. This religion might have been animism. Like any other religion, this one was a complex of religious phenomena. It consisted of myths, legends, rituals and sacrifices, beliefs in the high gods as well as low; noble concepts and practices as well as degenerate ones; worship and...
