Ignorance is Bliss Ever since the invention of automobiles‚ something can always be said about someone based on the type of car they drive. When someone drives a big gas guzzling SUV or truck‚ someone always says‚ “what a terrible person! Don’t they understand what they are doing to the environment?” Then someone drives by in a Toyota Prius and that same person says “Now that’s a smart person. Why can’t everyone in the world be like them?” A wise man once said “Ignorance is bliss” and this applies

What is Follow Up? Imagine bringing your newborn baby home from the hospital. Suppose you set her in the crib and say‚ "Okay‚ Sweetie‚ milk is in the fridge‚ the bathroom is over there‚ and here’s the stereo if you want to hear some tunes." Absurd! So why should we do the same to a brand new Christian‚ who is referred to as a "baby" in the Bible? No‚ it’s our responsibility to help cultivate the faith of that newborn believer. Follow-up is making sure a new Christian understands their new relationship

After reading the story‚ “Follow the Eagle‚” I am left with astonishment at the understatement in the writing and the deep significance in the context. I believe that this story is not only about Eagle’s journey over the cliff‚ but the journey is an allegory to Native Americans and other minority groups trying to achieve higher status in the white hierarchy of the West. First Domingo is riding on a “Japanese cycle stolen from a Colorado U law student.” The story informs the reader that Domingo is

Katherine Mansfield’s story‚ "Bliss‚" is about sex. Yet‚ because Bertha’s sexuality does not manifest itself in an immediate desire for a heterosexual sexual encounter it is difficult to determine how sexuality figures in the story.

"Where ignorance is bliss‚ ’tis folly to be wise”. Extracted from Thomas Gray’s poem‚ ‘Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College’‚ this adage is an existential conundrum ("the definition of ignorance is bliss"‚ 2016) . While some reflect in ‘hear no evil‚ speak no evil’‚ my outlook on this is that it is exceptionally vital to live in knowledge rather than in ignorance. I believe that ignorance isn’t bliss‚ its oblivion. Mankind has been in the pursuit of knowledge since its evolution. Human beings

One of the most memorable and meaningful Socratic quotes applies well when in context of Sophocles ’ Theban Trilogy. "The unexamined life is not worth living‚" proclaims Socrates. He could have meant many things by this statement‚ and in relation to the play‚ the meaning is found to be even more complex. Indeed‚ the situation of Oedipus‚ king of Thebes‚ the truth of this statement is in question. Would Oedipus have been better off if he was blind to the knowledge of his birthing and the fate which
