The decline in religion does not surprise me seeing how the view of it has changed over time among millions of people. Religion is a common theme in “God is Dead” by Friedrich Nietzsche and “The Art of Happiness” by The Dalai Lama. Nietzsche’s main argument is that religion has been a nuisance and he is glad that the decline of it had begun. He sees the decline as a chance for people to freely think with no barriers and many new opportunities are possible because of it. The Dalai Lama argues that

What Causes the Splendor of Happiness? Every person has a different understanding of happiness. Happiness is defined as an emotion in which one experiences feelings ranging from contentment and satisfaction to bliss and intense joy. Happiness may be defined in such a way, but it can be interpreted in many different ways by different people. There are many happiness triggers in life, and each person has a set of triggers that make them feel happy. Based on the readings “The Sources of Happiness”

If I could pick six people those people would be Kevin Hart, Jacks Black, Brian urlacher, Bill gates, Henry the 8th, Gorge washington. I would invite these people because I want to see all of them in person. Some of the people are who I look up to, like Brian Urlacher who was one of best linebackers for the chicago bears. Bill gates is the first person to show up because he flew his private jet. At first I thought he was going to be very snobby but he was actually very nice. He was surprised

Although the definition of happiness has been changed and rearranged for as long as humans have existed, thousands upon thousands of years, some philosophers want a hard definition of it. The term happiness signifies something different depending on whom you ask. The question of “What is happiness?” has been theorized and discussed by many philosophers throughout the years, and many have their own labyrinthine conclusion that may put off the average person who just has a subconscious thought of what

One hot sunny evening, I decided to go to Starbucks to grab a drink, normally I would go through the drive-thru but it was so hot that I decided to park and walk inside to order my drink instead. As I was walking in, to stand in line I happened to run into an old friend of mine, Thomas Jefferson. Thomas, wrote the ‘Declaration of Independence’, he seemed quite in a great mood. As I was staring at him, I asked him, “Why in such a great mood?” He replied, “It's a beautiful day to be free! Because freedom

On the evening of Thursday, I had decided to host a dinner party. I invited some of the most amazing authors to my party. I invited Thomas Jefferson, Dalai Lama, C.S. Lewis, Gretchen Rubin and last but not least John Stuart Mill. Thomas Jefferson was the last person to arrive. The first person to arrive was Dalai Lama and after that the rest got there on time. As we sat at the table waiting for Thomas Jefferson, everyone seemed a bit bored. So I asked everyone how there day had gone so far, but everyone

Imagine if you could dine with any three people, dead or alive, who would you chose? If i could invite any three people to dinner they would be Bill Joe, liza Koshy, a Dr. Brenin, also known as Bones, because Billy Joe died a few years back and I miss him, the second is Liza Koshy, she is my favioret youtuber, ad last is Dr. Brenin also know as bones, she is my fvioret charector off of my favioret TV show. Billy Joe is my great grandpa. He died about three years ago on my birthday. I miss him

The 14th Dalai Lama, of Tibetan, once said, ”Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.” What the Dalai Lama’s judgment means is that you don’t become happy by default, you become happy by doing something you love- like making someone who’s had a bad day smile, or completing a math problem that you had said a million times before “I can’t do.” This piece of wisdom has stayed with me since the first time I read it, as I have found over the years that there is nothing

While these two viewpoints are incredibly different, points can be taken from both in order to achieve a compromise that promotes humanitarian values and morals without risking the sacrifice of security and culture. I think that the most important thing that the Dalai Lama’s argument proposes is not condemning our fellow man. This is not to say that everyone you meet in life deserves the compassion he suggests to show, but not passing judgment on someone without due cause is a staple of western society

Ann Braun RS 390 Movie Review ( Seven Years in Tibet) November 20, 2017 For this student of Buddhism, the movie Seven Years in Tibet was a historically correct, religiously sound, and moving depiction of the beauty and power of this eastern non-monotheistic faith. Furthermore, the grand biography of the Austrian climber Heinrich Harrier, not only illustrated the supernatural aspects of the faith, but also its folkloric magic. Additionally, it tackled the political struggles, both externally and
