My classic values are temperance and justice, I value individual and social balance within the community. This balance can be accomplished by giving trust and regularly dealing with members of the community. I learned that my key phrase is “I am fair and responsible”. My definition of ethical behavior is that everyone is responsible for themselves and their obligation to do the right thing in any situation. An ethical person should fulfill that obligation and be fair at the same time.
According to Confucius, excellence comes partly from the cultivation of one’s virtues and intellect; so an education is mandatory. This education would involve developing skills in poetry, music, artistic appreciation, manners and religious ritual. Education was important because it transmitted the lessons of the past into the present. Confucius thought that education could show the way to wise and happy living. Also human beings should be full of respect and care.
I will maintain honesty, integrity, kindness and goodness as I deal with other individuals. Hard work pays, hence I will do my best in every opportunity accorded to me. I believe in the existence of a powerful supreme God, who controls the whole universe and the occurrences in it. I am subject to this God, and hence in my interactions with others I will maintain peace and harmony. Life is sacred, and I will do all in power to preserve it, while maintaining the comfort of my patients.
His detailed accounts and anecdotes centralize around the themes of self-identity, anti-consumerism, and the embrace of the human condition, towards an ultimate pursuit of happiness. Within the text, the humanitarian philosophies of St Benedict are discussed to great extent. McGirr admires Benedict mostly for his way of “[taking] life in moderation”, how he lived through the lives of others to find happiness. In relation, the Buddhist teachings- “Tao Te Ching”, are noted. Despite leaving the Jesuit, McGirr still believes in selflessness and generosity to find happiness.
This fold of the path is the way that Buddha wanted you to see the life, nature, and the world as it really is. It also explains why we have human suffering. This path explains a way to live a virtuous life, with the right view. If a follower can follow this fold then it will clear the path of uncertainty, misinterpretation, and diluted thinking (Allan 1). All of this can be found with a flexible, unlock mind and can be liberating.
The characters dialogues where believable and adequately portray by their circumstances. You have the noble hero, motivational muse that keeps the hero alive, the political figures, the villain’s, the comrades, the friend’s. In my opinion the main character, Ender remains the same. Ender is a smart and noble worrier and his biggest conflict throughout the movie is that he wants to defeat the enemy but still feels the necessity to maintain his humanity in the process. Possibly the biggest and only change we see in Ender is that he loses his fears and learns to be a leader and ultimately the noble hero of the story.
Textual Study: True Religion And True Affections Topics of Religion and Affections are deeply connected for Jonathan Edwards who writes, “The Author of the human nature has not only given affections to men, but has made them very much the spring of men’s actions...And as true religion is of practical nature, and God has so constituted the human nature, that the affections are very much the spring of men’s actions, this also shows, that true religion must consist very much in the affections” (Kerr, p. 199). This is the central theme of Edwards article. True religion is of a practical nature! This is a great line that explains the intent of Jesus to create the church here on earth. Affections are part of human nature and Edwards believed that increasing our awareness about the importance of right affections increases human’s ability to practice religion.
Every individual has a set of values and norms they abide by in everyday activities. Personally, I can assure myself on a few moral choices that guide my lifestyle; however, I must acknowledge that perhaps my upbringing and personal experiences helped shape those. Reading the two passages, I had a moment to reflect on my own knowledge or soon to find out, lack thereof. My beliefs regarding violence and consequences resulting as of that were not necessarily challenged because as a Catholic I respect the quality and dignity of all human life. Both passages Twilight #1 and Limbo/Twilight #2 pertain to preserving human life and perpetually fighting for underrepresented individuals even when circumstances seem dire.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and accceptable, and perfect, will of God" (Romans 12:1, 2). CONCLUSION; Sanctification is brought about in the life of the believer by his separating himself deliberately from all that is unclean and unholy, and by presenting, continually and constantly, the members of his body as holy instruments unto God for the accomplishment of His holy purposes. Thus by these single acts of surrender unto holiness, sanctification soon becomes the habit of the dedicated life. The experience of sanctification is not attained through mystical feats, nor through strict legalism, nor mental acumen. A proper concept of holiness terminates in the obvious-whatever belongs to a pure and righteous God must correspond with His nature, and be responsive to the uses of a pure and spiritual service.
Siddhartha's father expected his son to follow in his footsteps and become a highly respected Brahman. Siddhartha was following, and he was intelligent, wise, and handsome. Everyone loved him and expected great things from him. His father and mother were very proud of him “...there was happiness in father's heart...pride in mothers breast...” (Hesse). But, Siddhartha feels like there's something missing in his blessed life and he wants to go out and search for further enlightenment, to attain Nirvana.
