Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (Bible, 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, NIV) In reality, love is none of those things. As a matter of fact, the true description of love is much darker, much less romantic or poetic than the common perception. Truth is, love is an inescapable trap. In Maria Candelaria and Doña Flor and her two husbands you have two couples, (Maria Candelaria and Lorenzo Rafael) and (Doña Flor and Vadinho), who have every reason not to be with one another, persisting to be together despite all opposition.
There is no family or community, no race or religion, no place left in America that is safe. Until we genuinely embrace this message, we are a nation at risk.

Rebiya Kadeer is not a terrorist. The Dalai Lama is not an evil "splittest". Falun Gong is not an evil cult. China is not a democracy, and does not offer anything even the slightest bit like democracy, and it does not offer its people freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association, equal protection under the law, due process, justice, or even the most basic human rights.

Hitler may have found himself very successful in his endeavors, but Hitler is not regarded as a success whatsoever. The dictionary definition of success is “ The accomplishment of an aim of purpose.” One may argue that simply setting a goal and reaching it is success; this is not the case because people forget that the goal must have purpose. Purpose is more than simple things that we all want as individuals. A purpose is something that has meaning to it, something important.

Epictetus would look down on modern Western civilization for its rampant materialism -- nowadays, it seems that it requires vast amounts of money to be happy. Epictetus, however, suggested that we don't need money to be happy. In fact, he stated that we don't need any external things to be happy. He concluded that happiness results from attaining virtue and valuing only that which we can control. Happiness Follows from Virtue Epictetus asserted that while there is no inherent problem in seeking material comfort, the only true good thing is virtue because only virtue can be beneficial in all situations; thus virtue would not ever fail to bring happiness.
My point is Prometheus is a great example of a true individual. It took awhile but in the end, he can see who he is and he likes himself. He will never ever again let anyone let that happen to him.
