We are prisoners as we are prevented from grasping the true order of things by the limits of everyday experience‚ the limits of out ordinary conception

Society thrives on power through authoritative reign‚ when presented the opportunity to control the one seen as the leader administers. People

pearl brings nothing but frustration and loss. Kino and Juana contentedly fling the pearl back into the ocean‚ only to return to the simple life once more.

For example‚ one of the world’s largest cave of speleothems is the Carlsbad Cavern in New Mexico‚ and it provides a record of precipitation for that general

Socrates is shocked to learn that Euthyphro is prosecuting his own father. Euthyphro defends his actions‚ believing that it is just to do so even though his acquaintances maintain that “it is impious for a son to prosecute his father for murder” (Plato‚ 8).
