I answered a question earlier and it made me realize something. I think all of my problems in relationships and other things have been caused by my expectations. I actually think I unknowingly yet deliberately get myself into situations that only serve to reinforce my expectations. Are we truly the architects of our own lives only blind to our real power?

I'm sure I didn't word the question right, so let me explain my question. My students and I were reading Mortimer Adler's essay on "The Idea of Beauty." We also studied the Divine Proportion in relation to Objective Beauty. We wondered if everyone, based on idea of Divine Proportion and the admiration for an object that is considered objectively beautiful was a universal experience. Leon Alberti insisted that beauty has objective reality. If this is true, would someone from China or India believe that an object was beautiful, because of its "Divine Proportion." I might be wrong, but I think that it's also called the Golden Section. There's more information on the Golden Section at http://milan.milanovic.org/math/english/golden/golden4.html
Math/Philosophy people- Help! Please don't slam me for wording any of this wrong. I'm just a High School teacher in Milwaukee.

Is there anything an individual can do to help their fellow human to see the light? Is awareness simply a matter of predisposition or can one person really convert another?

Walmart uses it's size and cheap labor to produce cheap prices for the consumer. How is this different from every other business that does really well? Is it really all that different if the cheap labor is done by Americans in the stores as oppose to the Taiwanese or Chinese or whomever else manufactures about everything we buy?

Pride is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.

Envy is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.

Gluttony is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.

Lust is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.

Anger is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath.

Just wondering. =)

i mean guys who are better off than an average mortal. and yes, I do believe that money provides a certain quality of life and makes you satisfied - generally. so my question is; why do people who have everything get to be mean. they have the time and means to enjoy themselves so why can't they just be nice

thanx
