The Truth

The truth project is a really good lecture that helps one challenge their faith and actually try to answer questions that we do not think of in our day to day lives. This are questions that we know about and we know how to say them all the time but we do not really know the answers to these questions. What is truth? Why did Jesus come into the world? What exactly was the purpose of his journey into the world? This are just a small few of the questions among billions and billions of questions that we do not understand but claim to know the answers. It helps one test his faith by seeing how much one actually knows the father the maker of heaven and earth. It puts us in his perspective to see how he crested the world and what he went through with the devil, and the devil’s selfishness. We see or are placed in first person view just like the action games where you are basically the person’s eyes and reactions to what is going on around him. I liked basically the fact that it was in a classroom setting and was not like a movie that has role play and people are acting, I felt like I was actually in this psychology class with the professor as my teacher. The fact that it was in a classroom or a lecture hall is good because one can experience that college teaching style and he was a great professor. It was a great learning experience and taught me that even though a certain phrase or question may sound quite easy or corny I should take time and think about the question asked.

Blindness

In the twilight saga (a movie that most teenage girls are fond of) there are two people a man and a woman. The ladies name is Bella and the guy’s name is Edward and he is a vampire who supposedly pretends not to drink human blood. So she likes the vampire man who everyone knows is bad and is not to be trusted but she does not really care about what people say but she likes him because he has this bad boy swagger and he can protect her from almost anything. Bella has chosen to go through the whole relationship blindly. She just goes on not really caring what people say about her awkward relationship with a vampire. It is a blind relationship and she really has no say on what happens in the relationship, she is always told what to do and what to say when confronted with different forms of encounters with her father. She has no freedom or say in the relationship. Edward comes and goes as he pleases. He is once said “Something came up I have to go forever” and she could not believe it she had actually clinged to him so much now that she had blindly fallen for him.

Anxiety and Conflicts

I deal with anxiety in many different ways. When I am uneasy or anxious I usually go play video games to help easy my mind and just help get my mind off whatever is bothering my mind. I also usually listen to music to help ease my mind. I get anxious over quite little things to and they tend to also work my nerves at times which I think is really unprofessional. Small things like what is for lunch or who is to come over to the house.
Coping strategies for anxiety I usually use is to at time s take stomach medicine like actal just a little bit because I think as self medicated to me, I think it helps my body to deal with all the lactic acid build up that I get.
Well for me I usually do not like conflicts between people I’m a lover not a fighter and this has helped me with basically life as a whole, but when I am pushed to a corner I can actually lash out violently and people can be hurt but I usually keep quiet and cut the person out of my life because they are not worth the effort.

King Oedipus

The end was actually quite a shocker and really tragic, to see someone of high stature fall down to a low stature was not actually what we were expecting. I guess I was expecting him to be the victor of the whole story and to come out on top in the end of everything. It would have been better of if he had just listened to Jocasta much previously then maybe he would not even be in this dilemma. The downfall of King Oedipus to me shows that when you go so far to find out the truth and about your past, in the end very many people can be hurt especially yourself. In return his want to seek the truth was his downfall when he answered the riddle that the sphinx talked about, it all came back to him eventually. It is actually sad to see such a strong and powerful man fall from power. Oedipus is a really great man and his fall from power shows that even the mightiest man to can fall from power. Creon finally takes power even though I still kind off saw this part coming it was all a matter of time, but in a sense I feel really bad for Oedipus whom had to go through all this stuff to then finally lose it all in the end and the fact that the person whom he accused finally emerges victorious was a pity
