Dante’s Tools Of Character: Love And Choice
.... to love.

Being found worthy in the eyes of another allows us a new perspective on ourselves, especially if their admiration and compassion is coupled with actions of self-sacrifice. In other words, to discover oneself they must go and find someone who will love them. It may not be a demonstrated love but merely an act of human kindness that point to a great love. As in Dante, one may have to move backward in time to remember when they were loved and valued. Our personalit .....

One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest: Rules In Society
.... do not ask questions like this. They follow their fellow men like drone robots, good little servants of society.
There are those people in our society that do as they please when it comes to the unwritten rules of the world. They are decent folks who obey laws that doctrine civilized behavior, but they do so in their own unique way, which makes them seem uncivil to the rest of society. Perhaps they do not wear their shoes to dinner, or in more extreme cases know how to act in certain social situations, such as Billy who does not know how to express his feelings, or more precisely does not express his feelings the same way as yo .....

Escape From El-Ashaq
.... character . The rare similarities encourage the comparison to Job, a non-Israelite, finding favor in God, and the parallel with Esther marrying a Gentile husband, suggesting Gentiles were to only be blessed through Abraham’s seed. However, the extent to which God actually provided for Ruth is questionable; the text gives nothing of God’s thoughts on Ruth. Ruth’s desire to worship Naomi’s god seems to only affirm her love for Naomi, not God (Ruth 1.16). Nor is Ruth’s marriage to Boaz necessarily a blessing. Ruth enters into marriage for Naomi’s sake; Boaz is reluctant and wants to make sure, by law, no one else has a right .....
