The Perils of Indifference In the argument “The Perils of Indifference,” author Elie Wiesel talks about the issues caused by indifference to suffering of human beings through out history. He illustrates how indifference has caused many people to be left as victims because human beings as individuals, feel its easier to just look away from such wrong doings. His objective is to help people realize what their lack of acknowledgment of others is doing to our society. He also wants to show that in history there has been good things that people have accomplished from taking part and doing the right thing for others. Wiesel being a Holocaust survivor, has credibility as well as emotional and logical evidence to support his argument on human indifference.
After Sethe spent some time with Beloved, she felt guilty for what she did to her and began apologizing to her. Amir suffered more to gain his redemption. This will be made evident after analyzing how Amir and Sethe felt after doing what they had done and the pain they endured when gaining their redemption. Amir suffered more to gain redemption because he experienced guilt for a longer period of time. Although feeling guilt doesn’t accomplish redemption, it is the first step to it.
He could not live long, but during the years that he was suffering from his disease, he comprehended that “failure and loss visit us all”, life is not easy and it might seems to be unfair, but we have the right to choose from disheartened or encouraged. One’s attitude is very important when encountering difficulties. In addition, Simmons’s father once stated that “we need a hard road, not a smooth one”, a hard road makes us reflect and see clearer of who we really are. Life is a hard road, people go through loss to reflect and finally to defeat. When people go though the loss, “it hurts terribly, but it heals, and sometimes like a broken bone where it knits, it is stronger”.
They suffered much pain they had to endure and be silent. In this article, there are testimonies of children who lived these injustices. That would help me with my essay because reading those testimonials I can see clearly how they felt with no option to claim. They were all exhausted about that many hours they had to work, but they had to work because the wages were low and that was the only way to survived for a poor family. This article also narrates how this entire nightmare for children was ended.
Most often people who chose this field tend to focus solely on other people’s well-being and ignore their own. This neglect can lead to alcoholism, depression, fears, and even suicide. The job of helping others is not easy filled with long hours and little or no recognition. The job hazards of a human service provider include physical, mental and emotional exhaustion, the development of negative self-concept, negative job attitudes, and a loss of concern and feelings for the client. These professionals should understand the importance of self-care to avoid burnout.
Most of them have suffered some kind of physical or emotional damage from lack of food, physical abuse, or being cut off from society for so long. Most people do not realize the affect that being alone without any other human interaction can have on the mind. We, as humans, are social creatures and it is imperative to our well being that we interact with each other. Another important factor in these survivors lives is the physical damage they have suffered. The main thing that is detrimental to their physical health is malourishment.
Taming the Tongue Today in my essay I will be talking how to tame the tongue and the damage that can happen when you don’t tame the tongue and what James says about taming the tongue. The problem with most humans is that most of the time you speak without thinking. I think that most of us have had an incident were we spoke without thinking and caused damage. It is actually true that words actually hurt more than actions. Me personally have had an incident were I spoke without thinking and trust me it causes big damage.
We would be able to transcend our daily actions and thoughts towards others and understand that all we are seeking is happiness in one way or another. In our world, we tend to think of ourselves as separate from everything and everyone else. There is no sense of unity we find it difficult to relate to others’ pain and suffering. The most that people do is show sympathy for others which is not the same as compassion. Sympathy is the feeling of pity and
It has taken me a long time to figure out that you are the one who creates your own happiness and if you are always feeling sad and sorry for yourself of course it is not going to get better, you have to let yourself feel sad and sit in the sadness for a bit and then move on to greater, more important things. The things that i believe matter most are your health, (which people often take advantage of), family and doing things that make you happy and feel good about yourself. So many people in our society today are so materialistic that it’s almost laughable but really sad, i can’t say i am any better because i still love shopping and getting new things but people get so caught up in trying to get the newest, latest, greatest that they forget about the things that they really should be thankful for having like family. The only thing that has got me through all the awful days has been my family. No matter how awful i felt or how mad i was about my situation, my family went through it all with me.
I just need to breathe! Sharing the information with your family and friends you somehow muster up the strength to be strong for them, trying to reassure them that everything will be ok, all the while your mind is reverting to your own thoughts of denial. Thinking “maybe the doctor is wrong”, I need to get a second and even a third opinion. You start to blame yourself for the disease, ashamed that you may not have taken care of yourself the way you should have. Almost all of us turn to God for direction and pray for our own mortality.
