Alexander Pope's "Eloisa to Abelard" lines 207-210 are:

"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;"

It's from my favorite movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and I want to know what this quote means.

In film "Braveheart", William Wallace played by Mel Gibson dies shouting "Freedom!!". But considering the concept or term of "freedom" became popular after John Locke and JS Mill, is this historically accurate or possible? I don't know much about history, so any expert's opinion would be appreciated.) Thank you in advance.

I know the path, but I can't follow through. I try to be selfless, but I am selfish. I try to forgive, but I find it very difficult, and in the end, it's usually me asking for forgivness for how I react. I try not to let the little things get me, but when some one does something against me, I feel taken advantage of and they shouldn't get away with it. They say we are all connected as one, so when we hurt some one, we are only hurting ourselves. When you stub your foot and trip, do you further yell at your foot for tripping? People are connected the same way. We live with a lot of negativity in the world. Our purpose is to be positive. I try to stay positive, but I still feel negative. How can I become enlightened?

Consider the many different forms of critical thinking and
brain-storming techniques. Most techniques which I
am familiar with are scrawled out in somewhat organized
sections of glyphs and comments; not including essays
because essays are typically written after critical thinking
and brain-storming techniques have been completed(most
essays are usually insightful regarding critical thinking to the
extent that cliff notes might be included).

If language is awkward in explaining logic then what
other mechanisms are available for rationalizing logic?

I am particularly interested in sharing thoughts on subjects
such as superrationality or standardized flexible organization
protocols for brain-storming such as mind-mapping.
