The term Guru in Sikhism refers to a spiritual leader who dispels darkness. Guru is the liberator who brings forth spiritual guidance for the soul. Sikhs are considered spiritual seekers. According to Nesbitt (2018), all Sikhs are disciples of Guru Granth Sahib. Therefore, no Sikh disciple is to personify the status of a Guru. Doing so would be an act of blasphemy against Sikhism.

The Chinese Lantern Festival Last week I attended the Chinese Lantern Festival that was held in Chinatown, Los Angeles, California. Chinese lantern festivals are a typical festival in the Chinese culture that is usually held fifteen days after the Chinese New Year. The festival took place at 1101 West McKinley Avenue Gate17, and by the time I arrived at the festival. Going to Chinatown for the celebrations was interesting in my case since the town is not only rich in culture and but it is also always beautifully designed to complement all aspects of learning. The town was decorated with several balloons that formed different shapes and sizes that are representative of the Chinese cultural elements. Chinese culture is rich in various aspects of culture, and sharing in the culture creates a part of connection, love, and unity within individuals that make it a unifying factor. Most parts of the town were decorated using lanterns, some of which were used to do writings on the ground while the rest were suspended in the air and toed so that they cannot…

The Jilting of Granny Weatherall In most cases, betrayal is a rather negative aspect of life that can result is lack of faith, torment and loss of confidence to the individuals who feel betrayed. However, some people have the ability to change the emotional direction of a betrayal act and turn it to their advantage. In other words, betrayal can be a motivation factor to the people who are betrayed. Notably, the negative power of betrayal cannot be assumed as it as the ability to produce both moral and psychological conflict within a given relationship for both its victims and the perpetrators. It brings a twisted kind of feeling for the both party where the victim feels anger, confusion and demand for atonement (Meierhenrich, 2014). On the other hand, the perpetrator experiences guilt or shame and exhibit signs of remorse. A more hidden aspect of betrayal is it ability propagate into a more complex social problem if it is not mitigated.

The Inferno The definition of justice revolves around what society defines as being fair and what gives equality of deserved consequences. The concept of justice takes its basis on several fields that include ethics, law, religion, and equity. The theme of justice carries a significant part of literature where authors give different definitions of justice or leave the meaning of justice at the discretion of the readers. The administration of justice by various institutions such as courts tends to suffer from contradiction from other institutions such as religious beliefs. In Christianity for example, a disagreement arises when a choice has to be made between serving justice and embracing forgiveness. The bible favors forgiveness instead of administering justice since forgiveness represents love. However, the definition of justice differs significantly between denominations since different denominations have different laws of government. The Inferno is an Italian poem written by Dante Alighieri in the 14th century about Dante’s experience in hell. In religion, hell represents a realm that serves as punishment for the rebels of spiritual values. In the poem by Dante, nine concentric…

The Separation of Church and the State The definition of the church and the state differ in several dimensions. However, the two institutions have coexisted for several years with concerns being raised concerning their interrelated roles. Dante lived in an era when the Roman church had taken dominion offer the state and political power had been given to the church. The church not only controlled part of the civic sector but was given some regions to exert power over. In his poem “Inferno,” Dante, however, holds a different view concerning the involvement of the church in politics. Dante believes that the allowance of politics in the church contributes to the mass deviation of the clergymen and other church leaders from their spiritual responsibilities. Dante uses his experience in the purgatory to support his idea that hell was holding several church leaders for their involvement in politics at the expense of their spiritual duties and that the church should be separated from the state. Dante uses the motif of the separation of church and the state by basing his argument…
