When people envy others it’s usually because those people can’t have or get what another person has. If you don’t know what the word envy is like an extreme form of jealousy. You can also get some ignorance from being envious, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Because when you’re ignorant you’re stuck on that one thing, and nothing will change how you feel about that object or person. Nothing will change the fact that you will always want that thing for yourself, and the ignorance you have might get you what you want but it might not it just depends on how you attempt to reach that object. Then again when you’re ignorant you can be blind from what is blatantly obvious that whatever you want might never come your way. Ignorance is blinding so try to see past the fogy sky. Now you might need an example if you don’t quite understand and here is one from my life, and it’s been happening for the past month now. My ex-girlfriend and we still love each other like crazy but we can’t be together because of her parents they hate me and she doesn’t want to date in secret. Now because her parents hate me I broke up with her 3 months ago, and that’s because they told me lies like she just used me and I believed them. I regret my decision and want her back but like I said before her parents, and as a result of me and her braking up she started to tell her feeling about this to my “friend” James and within those 3 months James started to like Mia and fell in love with her just by talking and never meeting her before. She gradually started to like James a lot, and I became envious because he could talk to her and I couldn’t not without her parents knowing anyways. I also started to become envious because she liked him a lot and couldn’t pick the one she loves over someone she likes a lot. I envy James because he didn’t have to try to get her to like him she just started to like him she even told me she’s starting to love him, and I brought up the fact that you can’t love 2 people at the same time its physically impossible. I envy how he doesn’t try and already has her heart, and I’m trying my hardest and can’t even get a second chance. She told me 3 days ago that her love for me hasn’t faded at all, and I cried “then why are you doing this to me” her reply was simply “I’m sorry”. I envy the fact that he with be with her and I won’t. I envy the fact that she will love him to death in the near future if not already, and that I will just be a memory lost in time. The few people that know of my problem have all told me to give up but they don’t understand how much I love her. But they don’t know how much I love her, and I’m to ignorant am blinded by
symbolizes hatred and the rooster symbolizes greed. The emotions of the three stem from ignorance of our fundamentally pure and empty nature. Together, the triad represents the root cause that keeps the wheel of life turning. Around the edges of the wheel are a series of images representing the twelve steps of dependent origination, which explain how all of the activity on the wheel of life arises from ignorance (of our true nature) through action, consciousness, and so on, through grasping, existence…
could. There are three animals in the circle. First is a black pig, which represents ignorance, next is a green snake, which represents anger and lastly is a rooster, which represents desire. In this circle they are observed biting on each other’s tails. The animals symbolize the bi-product of inequality. Ignorance stems from a poor education, anger stems from oppression and inequality, while desire stems from envy. These reactions are proof that there are negative consequences when these people…

Transcendentalism In Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his essay, Self Reliance, had many points that stood out to me in understanding the importance of individuality and supporting oneself. The main quote that resonates with me is “Trust thyself; every heart vibrates to that iron string.” This quote is prevalent in my life because I have particular doubts whether it is with schoolwork, my friends I affiliate myself with, or the sports I decide to play. This quote inspires me to trust myself in whatever…
gay side. The author left that story on a low note saying that the young man expected the arrival of his family and he did not know what to do. Later he returned to the Asian understanding, saying that they are a very family oriented society and we envy them and their teamwork, which has paid off. The author both praises and refutes the asian cultural version of family in those two points. The families are more tightly knit, this is true, but it is an even bigger deal to disgrace a parent by acknowledging…
them. After people heard about this act, they believed they could never be capable of accomplishing such a thing, but after a few nights, it was finally working. “There is a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse” (Emerson 1). By making this statement, Emerson states how a person must eventually make a change for him/her self, in order for it to benefit their life. This project…
Shakespeare did not successfully complete that stage of psychoanalysis. Oedipus was a character of Greek mythology that Shakespeare would have known and learned about. Gulick used the operative word “betray”, which bluntly expressed Shakespeare’s envy of women’s powerful influence during a time when women did not have an abundant existence in writing. And if Shakespeare was a woman, then she writes from her own perspective. If Shakespeare was a man then the Oedipus complex mixed with conditioned…

Courage” by Stephen Crane is an allegory about the growth of a boy as he transitions into manhood through the emotional struggles of war.

He struggles with fear in the face of death and personal growth into a man over just a few days. Henry, in his hometown, hearing the…
shows that AA chooses money over decency. Based on the reading, I believe Socrates will not be in support of Charney’s actions. Socrates believes that individual knowledge is what makes a good life. Socrates identifies knowledge with virtue and ignorance with bad and evil. I believe Socrates will see Charney as an ignorant person, someone who lacks knowledge and a person who seeks his private interest ahead of knowledge and wisdom. Socrates believes that one must first seek knowledge and wisdom before…
