We have been taught that we should always follow our priorities, whether it is dealing with jobs, families, education, or faith. Ethical egoism teaches us that if our interests are any one these or something else, we should put it first because these are our values. But how far should we go in protecting our values? Is there a limit of how they should be protected? Am I doing what’s best for my priorities or for me? Although we should protect our values, there needs to be a limit and a focus of how

It is talked about in church often and makes one think about their perspective on life. “The Sermon on the Mount” is a part of the bible that everyone, not just Christians should read and understand.

In Act I and Act II, King Lear is hasty and very expectant. He exhibits these characteristics often throughout the first two acts. Lear shows his hastiness when he quickly disowns Cordelia, and also when he gives Kent five days to get out of the kingdom. He says that he is very angry at one point and he doesn't want to take his anger out on anyone, so they should stay away. King Lear shows how expecting he is when he talks about how he assumed Cordelia would be the one to take care of him in his

THE KINGDOM OF GOD Introduction The kingdom of God may be broadly defined as a multifaceted entity which is both mysterious and so fascinating, for the carnal mind to fathom. Earnestly, one should ask a fundamental question: What is the making and composition of the Kingdom of God? And does that kingdom have physical, Spiritual, global, earthly, or heavenly influence? In an attempt to view the phenomenon in light of Systematic theology, the kingdom of God may be seen as a domain or a state, whereas
The Kingdom of God may be broadly defined as, an entity with both physical, Spiritual, global, earthly, and heavenly influence. As Systematic Theologians would argue, “the kingdom of God may be seen as a domain or a state whereas the Church is seen as a called out people “according to Bible.org (bible.org; new advent.org), God dwells in heaven which is his throne, It is said in Isaiah that, “Heaven is my throne and the earth is my footstool...” (Isaiah 66:1)The Psalmist says, “The Lord has established
alleviate poverty, both locally and on a wider scale. One of the most important of these is the Commandment ?Love thy neighbour as thyself?. Jesus himself stated that it was the most important. ?Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."(Matthew 22:37-40). This is
Shakespeare’s plays “The play is the shortest of Shakespeare’s tragedies, without diversions or subplots” (Bevington par.1). Shakespeare uses a grim setting to reflect the mood of guilt by using Macbeth’s own domestic home, the great feast, and the kingdom of Dunsinane. In Macbeth’s own domestic home, he is filled with guilt as his guest are having a great time. The domestic setting “of his own house at Inverness” (Long 1) is filled with an “atmosphere of hospitality and family life” (Long 1). The
the play that this is indeed true; King Lear’s kingdom crumbles due to his foolish mistakes. King Lear’s first mistake of laziness and selfishness leads to the banishment of Cordelia and Kent. The revelation of his mistakes leads to madness and eventually his death. The egg-crown metonymy here is effective. Both the egg and the crown represent something precious and delicate, making the two interchangeable. King Lear is the figurehead of his kingdom with his power and command drawn from his crown
have been old till thou hadst been wise.2 The Fool loves Lear as much as anyone in the play, save for his youngest daughter Cordelia. The Fool knows Lear's only mistake is not accepting Cordelia's expression of love. Once he has divided his kingdom between Goneril and Regan it is too late for any advice to Lear to resolve the matter.

for a number of reasons. I will examine the Fool’s various significances in the play, King Lear. The Fool has a strong attachment to Cordelia, one of the daughters of the king. The first mention of the Fool comes when Lear, who is spending his first month giving away his entire kingdom to his two daughters, ask... ... middle of paper ... ...he play and the audience of the play. As Lear suffers tremendously during Act three, his ‘injuries’ are beyond the Fool’s power to alleviate, and
