As Mother Teresa once said “Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty” the feeling of loneliness can be terrible for everyone making them feel like they have lost everything they had.

Everyone is different and they all face loneliness in their own way. In Brando Skyhorse Novel, The Madonnas of Echo Park, Beatriz is the mother of Felicia and the grandmother of Aurora.
“Treasure” Writing Assignment Do you believe that treasure is something meaningful and personal to yourself or is it simply just money or gold? I agree with the claim that treasure is something valuable and personal, and that it doesn’t necessarily have to be money or gold in the story, “The Treasure Of Lemon Brown”. I believe that treasure can come in any, way, shape, or form. Lemon Brown, Greg, and Greg’s father all help portray and define the meaning of “treasure” throughout the story.
The adage, “Loneliness does not have to come from the lacking of people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you,” is an influential aphorism because it is associated with overcoming obstacles and trying to communicate to those around us. The story, “Zebra” by Chaim Potok and the poem, “The Rider” by Naomi. S. Nye both articulate the importance of transitioning our emotions by showing the main character or the speaker dealing with their emotions. While there are multiple themes discussed in these texts, it is forthright that both stories positively treat the theme of emotional healing, through the importance of hobbies we all enjoy.
One of the first authors of bible literacy that I read is Beth Moore. There have been times I have disagreed with Moore’s interpretations, but her conversational style of writing and enthusiasm increased my interest of studying God’s word. The study that came to mind when thinking of what influenced my own sense of call was James: Mercy Triumphs by Beth Moore, specifically James 1:26-27. Moore breaks down what James’ interpretation of the law was through the lens of Jesus’ teachings by showing us what real religion should be and how it was to be exhibited at the time it was written and how it applies today.
It is known that loneliness sometimes makes us senseless. In Susan Glaspell’s “A Jury of her Peers” loneliness made Minnie Foster irrational. Mrs. Hale assumes that Mrs. Wright is guilty of killing her husband because of her nonchalant answers she gives when being interrogated about her husband’s location. During the story the reader will learn more about Mrs. Wright, or Minnie Foster, and how her personality changed drastically through her twenty years of marriage with John while Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters are covering up the tracks that they presume led to murder. They conclude that loneliness made her lose herself which is evident throughout the short story.
People suffer in many different ways and know one understands why. Elie Wiesel’s play The Trial of God brings issues of suffering and tries to explain why people suffer, especially considering the “twist” at the end; along with that, I also have my opinions on why people suffer. Consider
Loneliness is the downfall of people with weak character of all ages and genders. In the novella, Of Mice and Men, the quest for a cure to the desolate life is represented by Crooks’ struggle with relationships and the demise of Curley’s wife. Crooks defensive manner and cruel actions toward Lennie, the only person attempting to befriend him, conflict with his aspiration for friendship. Curley’s wife’s behavior differs in that she attempts to draw people into her life even when it’s not reciprocated. The timeless theme of this story applies today to anyone who uses others to make themselves feel wanted.
“A happy life consists not in the absence, but in the mastery of hardships” (Helen Keller) Elizabeth Oster is walking evidence of the truthfulness of this quote. If one saw Elizabeth Ostler walking down the street they would describe her as cheerful. What other may say would be that she has big happy blue eyes and long brown hair. Her smile can warm the air around her. She walks with a bounce in her step and has a laugh that could make the hardest of souls’ smile.
In human nature, fear is a big part of how we act, but there is one thing that we are the most afraid of, loneliness. People are often social people, and when you take out the possibility of talking and communicating to someone, you will feel a kind of sadness. There are people who are absolutely fine with being lonely, but most of the human population will not be able to stand it.

Loneliness is something that we can never get over, the main character in Open City, Julius, was forced to deal with the fact that he was indeed alone, without anyone there to comfort him, and even if he had found someone, it would not last long, and the only thing that Julius wants, is to able to be free.
Loneliness is evident for most people at some point in their life. In a way it’s inescapable, whether you chose to live that way or forced into it. In the novel Of Mice and Men, written by John Steinbeck, it follows the story of two unlikely friends, George and Lennie and their journey through the Great Depression. Lennie has a mental disability that prevents him to think like a regular adult, so he depends on his friend George to protect him, in fact they always stay together. They find a job on a ranch and that’s where most of the story takes place and where the story follows the common theme of the “American Dream” and loneliness.
Loneliness can often make a person feel empty and upset. It can leave a person in despair and make them feel like they have no ambition. Steinbeck presents the possibility of forlornness and men who chip away at ranches,

Philosophy: Schopenhauer’s Philosophy that Life is Full of Suffering Introduction Across the universe, nearly each person living on Earth will experience suffering at least at a particular moment in his or her lifetime. Suffering involves the pain people feel due to disruptions in an individual’s life, health misconduct or injury. Arthur Schopenhauer, the German Philosopher, suggested that life is packed with suffering, and this suffering is solid as a result of the individual’s will (Berger, 2004). This paper will discuss this argument and attempt to clarify why Schopenhauer perceives that life is filled with suffering and the way he considers that the suffering can be overwhelmed.
“The deep truth is that our human suffering need not be an obstacle to the joy and peace we so desire, but can become, instead, the means to it. The great secret of the spiritual life, the life of the Beloved Sons and daughters of God, is that everything we live, be it gladness or sadness, joy or pain, health or illness, can all be part of the journey toward the full realization of our humanity” Henri
