(Yalom 1980) Existential therapy operates on the belief that inner conflict within a person is due to that individual's perception and fear of the very process of existing and of the inevitability of death .

As long as we don’t push back, naturally they will continue to keep taking from us and pushing the boundaries.
Apology will eventually lose its sincerity and be almost ceremonial like. If some sort of wrong is done, it should be fixed at that time, not 50 years later. Fish states “the objection most often voiced is that the wrong people would be apologizing to the wrong people” (469). I agree with this statement because the people of whom made that decision and the ones the decisions were put upon are no longer here. I do not see the

Written In Stone After reading the article “Some Moral Minima” by Lenn Goodman, I must admit that I agree that there are certain things that are flat line wrong.
