Krishna tells Arjuna many things when they are together discussing the war. Krishna begins by telling Arjuna about the life and death cycle of a Hindus. The life and death cycle in Hinduism is based on the persons Karma. Their Karma is what decides the reincarnation process and/or being of their next body. In Hinduism the reason of the life and death cycle is to work on their Karma. Krishna then explains that truly divine humans find peace in serving the gods. Therefore, Arjuna needs to be at peace with what Krishna and the other gods are asking of him in this war. This was to explain to Arjuna that he needs to find peace in his actions but not to renounce his worldly possessions for it. Arjuna again is struggling with allowing his family fight in this war where they could lose their lives. Krishna then wants Arjuna to do this selfless service for him. Selfless service is a way of serving the gods and a good practice of Karma. Meditation is a way of arriving at selflessness. Meditation…
In the novel, Siddhartha, written by Herman Hesse we see a young boy not fulfilled and happy living a life filled with luxuries and nobleness. When discussing Siddhartha my understanding of the cultural and context was developed immensely when seeing the perspective of my peers.…
The first reason I believe that Karl was confessing was because he feared death and knew he was dying. He knew he was dying and what he decided to do was tell his horrible story to a Jew. My main concern with Karl's last confession is that with his newfound realization of what was radically horrible he didn't try to inform, persuade or even alert anyone who could possibly help the situation. By telling a Jew he could accomplish only self-assurance that he maybe isn't such a bad person. But if his actions really affected him he could tell a comrade or a doctor who could defect and possibly save Jews lives. This would be repentance in a way. Stein's views are very similar to this, "He participated in murder. He ended up with a guilty conscience but took no action displaying genuine remorse or repentance. Thus, his deathbed confession sounds somewhat hollow."(252) And it is hollow because it changes nothing and it helps no one but himself. That is why his…

There’s a saying that you learn something new everyday. Whether, the information is obtained through a teacher, an adventitious coincidence, or through research, knowledge is always gained. Conflicted between what his many teachers had advised him to do, he continued to change his lifestyle and gained many important insights along the way. Had Siddhartha ignored his discontempt and continued to live his life as a Brahmin, it would have been impossible to learn the key skills he needed to reach Enlightenment.…

As the world becomes more immersed in advanced technology and more discoveries are made, we assume we know everything. If Socrates were here today he would repeat what he said to Athenians 2,400 years ago, that we know nothing. After Socrates encountered the Oracle of Delphi, which told him he was the wisest man in Athens, he went on a journey to try to disprove the oracle. He did this by asking politicians, poets and craftsmen questions. He knew that he didn’t know everything and along the way, he realized that the public didn’t know more than he did, just that they thought they did. He concluded that he knew nothing and because he acknowledged this, he was the wisest man in Athens. (The Apology of Socrates, 32-35).…

The Apology shows the importance of truth and justice throughout the historical development of ancient Greece and of the world in general. The Trojan War plays an important role in Socrates’ apology, showing how our historical development seems predetermined by a higher force or God. Aquilles, similar to Socrates followed the Oracle of Delphi prophecies, which not only determined his fames but his death too. Thus, Plato use of Palamedes in the Apology clarifies, then, Plato’s desire to seek for knowledge and immortality after his death and being closer to others such as Palamedes and Ajax rather that with others who lack knowledge. So Socrates doesn’t’ fear death since is a term unknown to him but rather by sentencing him to death he will win the knowledge of what death is too. Furthermore, Meletus’s contradictory and vengeful plot against Socrates correlates to when Odysseus seek for revenge against Parmedes.…
