Expository writing : manipulating critical thinking and and generating fresh perspectives preconceived and inhibitive thoughts restricts newer mental states. Open mindedness, transparency and willingness to experience new things Inquisitiveness, you actually want to discover, in order to enter a research mindset. 5 "whys":a healthy doubting aptitude:  what words are used? what words are repeated? Are the syntaxes connected? Narrative voice? POV? Tone and literary devices used? Establish a strong interest enough to bear a willingness to be wrong to see new possibilities. In other words, be flexible. Support and elaborate your sparklets and specific angles to write clear-cut essays. THOUGHT IMPACT: TENSE DISENGAGED STRESS UNINTERESTING change out these thoughts with a research basis state as mentioned above: Literal meaning, nuanced meaning, then to slow read Select passages.

  "Do not go gentle into that good night" by Dylan Thomas 750 Do not go gentle into that good night,       Old age should burn and rave at close of day;    you should flare out with the last of life Rage, rage against the dying of the light.    fight against death with your dying breath Though wise men at their end know dark is right,    accept inevitability. understand it. Because their words had forked no lightning they    words arent as powerful as they seem Do not go gentle into that good night.       against death, the blabber of tongues cannot win Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright          against death, good deeds are futile    Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.       ah but still, don't give up. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,       a...

  我们读《论语》时，对于孔门弟子的话要有一个分辨，就是：学生的话代表他们个人的心得，而未必"完全等于"孔子的想法。 　　"一以贯之"这四个字太重要了，孔子在《论语》里说："吾道一以贯之"。可惜很少有人知道他在说什么。今天如果做测验，让从小学到大学的学生们回答，孔子"一以贯之"的道是什么？恐怕大多数人会说出曾子那句话"夫子之道，忠恕而已矣"。"忠恕"果真是孔子的道吗？ 　　"一以贯之"第一度出现跟孔子的学生子贡有关。子贡小孔子三十一岁，非常聪明，口才了得，是言语科里的高材生。但聪明人说话爱犯一个毛病：比较。喜欢比一比谁好谁差。他观察自己的老师，认为孔子"多学而识之"。 　　子曰："赐也，女以予为多学而识之者与？"对曰："然，非与？"曰："非也，予一以贯之。" 　　（《论语·卫灵公》） 　　孔子说："赐（子贡的名为端木赐），你以为我是广泛学习并且记住各种知识的人吗？"子贡回答说："是啊，难道不是吗？"孔子说："不是的，我是有一个中心思想来贯穿所有的知识。" 　　子贡以为老师年纪大，书念得多，记忆力不错，然后出来教学生，好像一个有脚书橱。但孔子认为自己不仅如此，他说我虽然有很多学问，却有一个"一以贯之"的中心思想来贯穿。一个人如果没有一个中心思想把他的学说连贯起来，怎么可能成为一个好老师呢？又怎么可能成为一个好的哲学家呢？可惜子贡没有接着请教老师，到底什么是您一以贯之的东西。这个事情就变成公案，不了了之。 　　我觉得孔子心里大概很想找个机会公开说一下自己"一以贯之"的道是什么。他教五经六艺，教礼乐诗书，却不能教自己的思想。因为学生跟老师念书是希望将来做官，做官只问你知识学会没有，不问你有没有学孔子的思想，因为孔子当时还活着，还没有成为大家推崇的哲学家。孔子有一次上课主动对曾参提起这个话题。 　　子曰："参乎！吾道一以贯之。"曾子曰："唯。"子出，门人问曰："何谓也？"曾子曰："夫子之道，...

During the 1950s, a man settled in Pangkor Island's fishing village. He was called the venerable brother Zhen, as he never failed to help his 'brothers' in need.

  话剧开始，一串似懂非懂的文言文像口号一样，从演员们的口中琅琅上口。汉字不按现代使用的方式排列，我在陌生和熟悉之间捕抓内容的含义，可能，搞不明白才 是最好的理解方式。就像话剧三炉沉香里的小演员脱口而出的“为什么不能问为什么？”，得到的回复是“小孩子不要问那么多” 中国古代以木为底，在其表面刻字，成简，并编成册。在木上刻字费时，所以用更精简的文句，才成就文言文在当时书写的流行方式，因时制宜。 过世的阿嬷的房间被锁上了 言论的封闭，为政治体系所需。儒家的君君臣臣父父子子，就建立在“家”这个最基础的单位。父亲为一家之主，一个村落以村长为首，一个国家以君王为主。君君臣臣父父子子，谈的是礼，礼教，规矩。现代西方科学的冒出头，却强调“质疑” 这就有打破言论封闭的诉求，“为什么君王高高在上？”“为什么我天生就是奴仆？”“为什么有贵族？”“为什么那些人过得比我苦？”我想，没有质疑，就没有人权，没有民主，没有投票制。 过世的阿嬷的房间被锁上了，里头传来声音 不能以下犯上的君君臣臣父父子子，就只好封闭言论，以辈分的高低为事件对错的判断准绳。 过世的阿嬷的房间被锁上了，里头传来声音。夜半钟声回荡在走廊间，我双后按着垮下，似乎想把如厕的欲望压下去 三炉沉香在演员们例行了仪式后，一小演员开始发问：为什么？ 这股声音很快就被压制，制服了。小孩的好奇，可能是一种危险。对于没设防的大人，这或许还威胁着权威，也或许“为什么”其实是件破坏规矩，破坏和谐宁静的刀刃。 好奇捅破了虚妄，捅破了权威，捅出了真相 真相如伤口流出的血水般涌出，可是，这样真的好吗？ dont question. we already have enough on our minds by now. Let the funeral monks do their job. we paid them well. Gramma is taken care of. 在阿嬷的葬礼上，演员跟着一道士兜着圈子，时而跳跃时而奔跑时而吼叫，被生死界限隔着的阿嬷，会因为我的跳跃我的奔跑我的吼叫而过得更好吗？ “我只能相信阿！我只能信佛啊！如果不信佛，怎么会有菩萨和轮回？怎么会有来世和永生在那里等着他？如果我不信佛，我又怎么能够相信？”一演员表情生动地说着。 还是不能问“为什么”。因为“为什么”摔破了相信，割断彼此信以为真的联系，像汪洋里的船，...

  The old fisherman always said that Fishes in his accustomed area will always win over the exotic fishes. Why, You ask? He broods, and says that the newer tastes are indeed unique, flabbergasting and delightful to the palette. But, after months of foreign fish, one naturally longs for the taste of home. He acknowledges that the yearning of the fish of his youth had never left him.  坦白说 A male thinks with 3 parts Logos Analyzes and is satisfied with the matches it deems fit for the body's best interests, maximizing living utilities and ensuring a content survival partner that is compatible to a standard of living suited to the person.

 Loneliness releases cortisol≈cortisone, which is responsible for higher alert levels and this in turn causes expenditure in terms of stress and worry, activating the fight or flight system, and\or inducing short term pain relief. Long term pressure like this exhausts the body, in the long run, and breaks down neural bonds, and that causes the immune system to be suppressed: breaking down the defense system caustically. Feelings of loneliness are hypothesized to have implications for physiological stress processes, including activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.  Scholars have examined the impact of loneliness on neuroendocrine, immune and cardiovascular responses (Uchino et al., 1996). Loneliness is associated with higher blood pressure (Cacioppo et al., 2002; Steptoe et al., 2004; Hawkley et al., 2006), and impaired or underactive immune function (Pressman et al., 2005). Studies have found possible links between loneliness and cancer (Fox et al., 1994) a...

 I live for conflict.  My very presence screams for conflict. I view life as a stage shared with actors and actresses who engage each other to squeeze out stories. I am silent in the community of speakers. I am with voice in the community of silence. I fight for gay rights in the circle of conservatives.  I reel in my gay friends with conservative thoughts. I show the existence of God to non-believers. I question the existence of God to theists. Is there a definite answer? Do I care for a definite answer?  No. I live for conflict, remember? Or maybe I do, but that in itself is another sweet, sweet argument that is saved to be savored at another time. On the surface, I see a duality of our Nature. The balance that is presented in our blueprints of thought, with a subconscious understanding of what is good and bad, in general. Below the surface, i see uniqueness and myriads of characters surging up to seize the day, regardless of right and wrong. I feel that they just ...

  Rome, 23rd December, 1903. My dear Herr Kappus, You shall not be without a greeting from me at Christmastime, when in the midst of this festivity your loneliness weighs more heavily upon you than usually. But when you notice that it is great, rejoice in it; for you must ask yourself what that loneliness would be, that had not greatness; there is only one kind of loneliness. It is great and not easy to bear, and there comes to nearly everyone the hours, when he would gladly exchange it for any intercourse however common-place and cheap, for the semblance of a slight understanding with the next best, with the most unworthy. . . . But perhaps those are just the hours when the loneliness grows; for its growing is as painful as the growing of boys and as sad as the beginning of spring. But that should not confuse you. It is still only loneliness that is necessary —great inner loneliness. To retreat into oneself and meet nobody for hours on end—that is what one must be able to attain. ...
