... area just because they said the land was rich with gold.
This shows how greed and the dream of making it rich blinded the peoples reasoning. If the people would have been clear of mind they would have asked questions and then asked more questions before embarking on such an involved venture. Holmes and Fisher summed up the reason for the fiasco when they said, " in every man's mind was the thought of being late and not getting a claim and in every women's mind was the hope their fumbling and ineffectual husband would strike it rich."(431).

"Fulfilling transition choices is highly satisfying and exciting for adults who have the resou ...

The Unknown Citizen
Number of Words: 866 / Number of Pages: 4
... as a “model citizen” who “in a modern sense of an old-fashioned word” is “a saint.” When asked if the man “was free and happy”, the speaker responds that “the question is absurd, had anything been wrong” he “should certainly has heard.” The irony of the situation is that the very action of probing into the man’s personal life by the official that is absurd. The confidence of the official that he has known everything about the man’s life is a false one. The irony is that the official has no knowledge about the man ...

If children do not learn these fundamentals at the right critical time, it is difficult or impossible to learn later. Children will develop these problems between the ages of two a ...

Central Theme Of The Upanishads
Number of Words: 837 / Number of Pages: 4
... Eschatology, recommending meditation, devotion etc. have to be relegated to a secondary position, as they are essentially dealing with the machinations of the unreal Avidya, which vanishes into "nothing," when the soul is liberated and discovers its identity with the formless and attributeless Brahman. In other words, much of Upanishadic texts are worthless and untrue in the domain of the final reality.
