Five Essential Truths Analysis

Improved Essays
Five Essential Truths Richard Rohr talks about “Five Essential Truths,” as an introduction to his book. I agree with all of them. You will be provided with a clear explanation to all those truths, in the next paragraphs. Life is hard. I agree with him because after hearing too many of my friends’ stories of life; I have realized it is not as easy as I thought. When I was a little girl, my dad had a job as a truck driver, and my mom was the best house-keeper I have ever seen. My three sisters and I were so lucky to always have my parents right there for us. We went to school and learned many good things I still remember. One thing I liked the most was I never worked when I was a teenager because my parents did everything look wonderful and useful for us. But after some years of experience as a teacher; I have noticed that there a lot of people with different problems that I say I am a lucky woman. God loves me a lot. …show more content…
I agree with him because I know success and fame are not as important as people think. There are a lot of people who has a lot of money but they cannot enjoy life, they cannot even sleep as well as I do every night, they are not free to go everywhere they would like. You should know that you are really important to your family members and that you will not find -in the entire world- people who love you more than your own family. Your life is not about you. I also agree with him to the extent that you should live trying to help others to find yourself doing a really great thing. It feels great when you can help others to do something they do not know, and you help them learn that by sharing your ideas. I think is all about sharing with others, helping others, making people feel happy when they are with you. It always makes me feel good when I share my knowledge with somebody. I am not saying I am so smart but at least I try to share the few things I know to make them feel

The “nature” of the argument states that a child's personality, behavior, culture, etc. is shaped from their genes, and it is all hereditary.

The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates written by Wes Moore, supports the “nurture” side of the debate. The book follows the lives of two young boys, both with the same name, and how their environments and people around them influence their decisions and their futures.…

    As I brainstormed about things that I carry, nothing stood out. Not a single prized-possession, no metaphoric symbols, no family heirlooms, not even an everyday object that I could somehow pull a deeper meaning out of came to mind. I had no words to describe what I carry, nothing at all. And I then realized that I couldn’t have described it any better. I carry nothing.…

    The American Dream is often defined as the ideals of freedom, equality, and opportunity traditionally held to be available to every American; its is also defined as a life of personal happiness and material comfort as traditionally sought by the individual citizens of the U.S. (Dictionary.com) This so-called dream has been around since before the founding of the country; its main purpose in the beginning was to allow people to flee from European countries that supported religious freedom. Now the vision of the American dream has shifted not just once, but billions of times every individual has his or her own personal dream now and more often then not, no two dreams are the same. According to an online article titled “America as a Religious Refuge: The Seventeenth Century, Part 1,” most of the British North American colonies that eventually formed the United States of America were settled in the seventeenth century by women and men, who, in the face of religious persecution in Europe, fled to America because they refused to compromise passionately held religious convictions.…
