Philip Larkin and Dannie Abse have very different and contrasting attitudes to relationships. On the whole, Larkin presents the concepts of love and marriage as very superficial and meaningless, whereas Abse appears to be less such nihilistic and more open and positive about such topics. Throughout Wild Oats, Philip Larkin uses various literary techniques, such as imagery, structure and symbolism to convey certain aspects of love and the passing of time. Larkin's poetry often relates to the social and cultural views upon love and marriage in his time. In Wild Oats It explains that a person, over the course of time, comes to realise that his greatest desires of love, are unattainable, and second best things will have to suffice.
“Love is not so important these days”… “What planet are you from?” love means something different to each character in the play. Discuss In Nowra’s play “Cosi” meaning of love is explored and challenged by the views of different characters. Each character has a clear definition of their personal and distinct understanding of what love and fidelity means. This assists in the notion of love beholding abundance of paradoxical nature. The characters also endorse the importance of love that is practical and realistic, this aspect of the play is illustrated mostly by the mental patients who have issues with distinguishing reality from their illusions.
“But Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart.” (Lk 2:19)He also includes stories about individuals and has many themes within his Gospel about his portrait of Jesus. Luke portrays Jesus as merciful and compassionate, someone who cares for and loves everyone and treats people equally. Jesus is portrayed as our saviour and is referred to as ‘the human-divine one’ and ‘the son of man.’ “For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost," (Luke 19:10). This is the key verse and sums up what Jesus is known as. Luke gives us an image of Jesus as one who reaches out to the Gentiles and has a special concern for the poor and marginalised.
Journal Article Review II: The Church as Forgiving Community: An Initial Model Journal Article Review II: The Church As Forgiving Community: An Initial Model Summary Magnuson and Enright (2008) offer a discussion of forgiveness and how important it is to the complex human being.

The association of good and evil seems unclear as Davies brightens out his ideas and arguments as of the Fifth Business, Dunstable Ramsay, who is ironically the main character of the drama. This novel is not concerned with any particular issue of seeking independence from the moral authorities rather with an individual’s understanding of himself and his place in the society.

4:11).” “The Spirit bestows His charismata (gift) for the edification of the church, the formation of Christian character, and the service of the community.” Spiritual gifts very much differ from the Fruits of the Spirit.
