Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
It can be affirmed that ALL THINGS were originally designed for PLEASURES because there was NEVER evil in the original creation! The originator of the idea of creation had no evil in Him neither could He ever imagine creating any singular thing to represent evil. Therefore, there was no evil thought, evil plan, evil agenda at any state or realm. Even Satan, the embodiment of all evils was not originally created with any spot of evil as portrayed in Ezekiel 28 :13-15 Everything about Adam , everything Adam tasted, everything Adam used, everything Adam felt (Just like God after all creations), and everything Adam saw were “VERY GOOD” without any exception. Adam originally had the mind and the Spirit of God. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7 He was therefore pleasured by everything within and around him. They were all created for his pleasures too. Moreover, all the things that God created received nothing short of his maximum blessings. “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.” Proverbs 10:22 Here are some postulations in respect to the continuity of God’s designed pleasures for His creatures: 1. What if there was no Devil? 2. What if there was no tempter or temptation? 3. What if Eve and Adam had overcome the temptation? 4. What if there was no curse from God, the Creator? Well, you can be sure that the original plan and purpose of the Creator would have continued forever. Nothing void of good pleasure ever originated from God, hence the original motive of God in whatsoever He created was pleasure and for the pleasure of whom He originally bestowed them at any given time. When all is said and done, at the consummation of all things, When there shall be the emergence of the New Heaven and a New Earth, His purpose and desire will still have the original label and signature ‘Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”(Revelation 4:11) which will ultimately be to the pleasure and delight of all creatures that will be with the Creator throughout eternity.

Why I Write
Author: George Orwell
Publisher: Renard Press Ltd
ISBN: 1913724263
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 15
Book Description
George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Why I Write, the first in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell describes his journey to becoming a writer, and his movement from writing poems to short stories to the essays, fiction and non-fiction we remember him for. He also discusses what he sees as the ‘four great motives for writing’ – ‘sheer egoism’, ‘aesthetic enthusiasm’, ‘historical impulse’ and ‘political purpose’ – and considers the importance of keeping these in balance. Why I Write is a unique opportunity to look into Orwell’s mind, and it grants the reader an entirely different vantage point from which to consider the rest of the great writer’s oeuvre. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times

Author: Amélie Rorty
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520202283
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
Essays on Aristotle's Rhetoric offers a fresh and comprehensive assessment of a classic work. Aristotle's influence on the practice and theory of rhetoric, as it affects political and legal argumentation, has been continuous and far-reaching. This anthology presents Aristotle's Rhetoric in its original context, providing examples of the kind of oratory whose success Aristotle explains and analyzes. The contributors—eminent philosophers, classicists, and critics—assess the role and the techniques of rhetorical persuasion in philosophic discourse and in the public sphere. They connect Aristotle's Rhetoric to his other work on ethics and politics, as well as to his ideas on logic, psychology, and philosophy of language. The collection as a whole invites us to reassess the place of rhetoric in intellectual and political life.

Seven Pleasures
Author: Willard Spiegelman
Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux
ISBN: 1429958707
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
What does it mean to be happy? Americans have had an obsession with "the pursuit of happiness" ever since the Founding Fathers enshrined it—along with life and liberty—as our national birthright. Whether it means the accumulation of wealth or a more vaguely understood notion of self-fulfillment or self-actualization, happiness has been an inevitable, though elusive, goal. But it is hard to separate "real" happiness from the banal self-help version that embraces mindless positive thinking. And though we have two booming "happiness industries"—religion, with its promise of salvation, and psychopharmacology, with its promise of better living through chemistry—each comes with its own problems and complications. In Seven Pleasures, Willard Spiegelman takes a look at the possibilities for achieving ordinary secular happiness without recourse to either religion or drugs. In this erudite and frequently hilarious book of essays, he discusses seven activities that lead naturally and easily to a sense of well-being. One of these—dancing—requires a partner, and therefore provides a lesson in civility, or good citizenship, as one of its benefits. The other six—reading, walking, looking, listening, swimming, and writing—are things one performs alone. Seven Pleasures is a marvelously engaging guide to the pursuit of happiness, and all its accompanying delights.
