In Edna St. Vincent Millay’s poem, “Love is not all”, the speaker begins by defining love as not sensible, solid or stable. She suggests that love has little to do with our current physical needs and serves no function for sustaining life. It investigates situations of pain and misfortune and finds none where love would make any difference. However,The speaker breaks the pattern by declaring that the absence of love will cause a man to exist closer to death. Even though love is a preoccupation and cannot physically aid her, she would not trade it for any physical comfort or relief.
This song has it own way teaching us something. It is trying to show that one should not give up on love so easily, be afraid of doing right things and ever lose hope. We all have the capability of being a hero for ourselves. All we need to do is look deep within ourselves for strength since ultimately no one can help defeat our personal problems. A person should not give up on love so easily just because they could not find someone to love.
My Meaning of the Word “Love” People often think there is one standard definition for the word love, when there are actually different kinds of love. For instance, love for your parents, love for your spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend, love for your siblings, and love for your children. First, there is love for your parents. The love that you have for your parents is a love that will always be reciprocated. There are often times that you think your parents don’t love you, but their love will never falter.
Cohabitation can never be right Reason 1 (The view I disagree with) To be living together suggests that you are in love with that person, and want to be closer to him/her by living under the same roof. It is not the same as being married, where you have an on-going relationship. Instead, it is known as romance without relationship, which according to today’s society and statistics, lead to arguments and conflicts, and eventually leads to being separated. But why does this happen? This is because couples who are cohabiting have not built a strong enough relationship yet, and therefore become more and more distant as they argue about the smallest of things.
These are very important factors of relationships, and if they aren’t practiced the right way it can lead to the destruction of a good friendship. What is communication? Telling your partner everywhere you go during the day isn’t communication. Because most likely you will bore the person you are talking to. Our day to day life typically isn’t very exciting.
As such, poetry served as a tool women used to occupy their free and private times with, such as when Anne Bradstreet wrote poems professing her love for God and her husband when her husband, Simon Bradstreet, was away. In addition, it is very likely that women often wrote poems so they could later look back upon them, musing upon the differing thought process between now and then. Looking back upon previous interpretations of certain beliefs or events could have served as yet another entertaining way to consume time. Because poetry is essentially a collection of thoughts, the ability to write poetry served as an easy way to keep the brain stimulated and to keep the most boring periods of life fun, which consequently led women to write poetry in their free time as a form of entertainment. In addition to keeping themselves entertained, women wrote poetry which somewhat served as a diary, to keep track of their daily thoughts with which her social needs wanted to share but could not because of the inability to confide such private and possibly even scandalous thoughts with even her closest relatives.
Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive. The world has no trust in each other anymore. Everybody believes that others are scheming against them. Things are taken too personal and problems are created within an environment.
It is of my opinion that a world without death would mean overcrowding, and there would be no concept of time. Death ultimately enhances life and is the sole factor in our world which brings meaning to life. Without such a vital aspect of life in our day today behavior, our social system would begin to decay. According to our textbook there are many consequences to consider in a world without death such as enforcing birth control to reduce families from having babies, inheritance might not mean anything as people would never benefit from it and elderly people would definitely outnumber the youth so much that anything new would not have a chance (Kastenbaum pg.75). Death controls many realms of society for example, without death time would not need to exist and time would no longer be of the essence.
Everyman: My Cousin, will you not with me go? Cousin: No, by our Lady! I have the cramp in my toe. Trust not to me, For, so God me speed, I will deceive you in your most need.4 The single exception is Good Deeds who is very willing to attend him at his trial. Even though she is favorably inclined to go with Everyman, he has had so few good deeds in his life that she cannot even stand up and is unable to make the journey.
However this bold assumption does not take into account the realities of love or. Love in itself is not a static feeling or engagement with another person. Love changes, it can grow or fade over time and by branding arranged marriages as intolerable we are locking the doors to all those who have and will found love in marriages that may at first not have solely been based on this emotion. In relation to women, many may feel that they are unfairly forced into these marriages by misogynistic fathers who marry them off for their own personal gain. Realistically this is sometimes the case and in such scenarios arranged marriages should not be tolerated, but not because of the concept of the marriage itself, but because everyone should have a free and fair choice in matters that concern them.
