Question

Please can you answer the following questions, its for my art coursework.

1.does paradise exist?
2.where is it / what is it?
3.how do we get there?
4.was earth supposed to be paradise and have we destroyed it?
5. how are we destroying the earth?

thanx for your help! ;)

This is for my art cousework but the first four questions are religious the last is enviromental but you could probably look at it in a religious way.

This is a questionaire, which means i am doing my own coursework. Also im not abusing the internet im just using it to get answers from a range of people who have different beliefs.

Answer 1

I always like to answer questions with questions for projects like that. ( it forces the asker to think about his / her questions and reasons for asking- turning the project onto itself. Think of it this way whats -the expected???
-the unexpected???
-bizzare???

For example on question two - "Where is paradise?"
does paradise have to actually be a place? Cant it be a state of happiness or well being? A feeling or emotion? Can it not be an object? A colour or taste?

Thats just a small starting point, this seems like a project that you can really get lost in. Dont get too close to it and allow yourself to step away to see the bigger picture.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

1. Yes.
2. It's no longer a geographic place, which it may have also been at one time. It's inner peace ... sounds cheesy, I know, but I'm actually serious.
3. I'm working on that one, but I'll tell you if I ever get there.
4. Yes.
5. We can't destroy the earth, but we are destroying the balance that makes it paradise. Disregard for nature is a problem. Introducing violence and all levels ...

Answer 3

Interesting poll for a piece of Art coursework... but then as I also work in a school with art teachers, I know the kinds of things you have to deal with!

So:

1) Yes

2) It is a state of mind

3) By letting go of fear and realising that what you think of as reality is merely the life-dream that we all share - and then to wake up to that dream and see the true nature of reality.... 'Lucid Living', if you will.

4) Supposed by whom? If you follow the 'judeo-christian' view of the world then maybe... the area of the world between the Tigris & Euphrates rivers (once called Mesopotamia ~ now known as Iraq) was thought to be the 'cradle of civilisation' where humans first experimented with staying put and growing their food. And - hey - aren't a whole bunch of people busy trying to destroy that place as we speak? (er.... write??)

5) Though ignorance, self-righteousness, intolerance, attachment and greed

Answer 4

I hope the answers confuse you so much you have to do the work needed for this coursework. There is no point to cheating - you achieve nothing and in the end you will wonder why you felt you needed to cheat.
