The feeling of desiring another may be much older the human race as without erotic acts the species would have never survived. One of the first written explanations of this desire comes from Aristophanes’ dialogue in Plato’s Symposium where he summarises how man came to have the form he now has. In brief‚ man once had two faces‚ four arms‚ and four legs; they were so powerful in that form that Zeus feared them and was diminished to split them in two. The severed halves were doomed to wander the earth

Organizational Approaches to Change The ability to change and adapt is extremely important for any organization to reach its full potential.

Comparing the Death of a Moth and Allegory of a Cave Roberto Rodriguez University of La Verne Abstract Extremely interesting how Virginia Woolf and Plato describe their point of views in their essays. Novice individuals as myself have a very hard time understanding these pieces. On the other side open minded individuals would have endless ideas on what both authors are trying to express. The Death of a Moth and Allegory of a Cave although a very bold and arguable statement

Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf What if suddenly you come to the conclusion that the only light in the midst of all your darkness‚ the only light that is keeping you afloat is merely an illusion‚ how would you be able to cope with your reality?

Dear Ayn Rand: Your novella‚ Anthem‚ was a real perception-onset for me. It made me apprehend that it is not always bad to oppose with what other people consider. The novella also made me understand that if you don’t consider what others do you will probably get resolved for it‚ but you just have to stay robust through the hard times.
