I believe that the meaning of life is to love and care for others despite their imperfections. It’s hard to imagine how God can love his children who are nothing but horrid, disgusting, and filthy. Everyone craves love, but even though, we chose not to give love. Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned and fall short in the glory of God.” I am sure that mostly everyone including myself has experienced the cold heartedness we possess when it comes to loving another person who is not perfect. Maybe it is your spouse who you are having a troublesome time loving, perhaps your own mother, a co-worker, your best friend or even your neighbor. The reason why it is hard for us to love imperfect people is because we ourselves are imperfect. Although some …show more content…
Would you be able to marry, love, and take care of someone who has a disability which will separate the line between your and your disabled spouse with a normal couple? Jane an British Lady who studied in Cambridge decided to stay with Stephen Hawkings despite of his neuro disability. A neuro disability:………. He was not able to be a normal husband as every wife ought to have, instead the relationship was more towards child and mother. Jane had to care for everything Stephen did. From eating, to changing, to brushing his teeth. This is the soft heartedness we are supposed to have. The love of Jane was able to brighten up Stephen Hawkings life and enabled him to light up the world with his smartness through the life which can from love Jane. Others may claim that Jane did not actually love Stephen, but that doesn’t matter as long as Stephen Hawkings believe that they were in love and that Jane stayed with him through unconditional love. Stephen Hawking was able to find the meaning of life through Jane’s love that ignored his …show more content…
In the book What I wish I knew when I was 20 it says how we should look at problems rather as an opportunity than a problem. Loving imperfect people is a problem we all face and that we all ought to conquer, and that must start from the views we have upon them. Instead of looking at the challenge as a problem, we must face them as oppurtunities. In Mark It also states the greateast commandments. Love the lord your God as yourself and love your neighbors, that is the greatest commandment. It is impossible to perfectly love an imperfect person all the time, but it starts from effort, wisdom and the love from God. The meaning of life is to care and love others despite their imperfection. “You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're

There are many people living in the world with severe disabilities. However, one of the most famous is Stephen Hawking who had Lou Gehrig’s Disease, also known as ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Even with this disease, he was able to discover interesting theories about black holes, facts about space, and much more. There are, however, many things that got in his way over the course of his lifetime.
Stephen Hawking is an extraordinary being to say the least. Stephen is possibly the smartest person on the planet, and if he isn’t quite there he is extremely close. Hawking is a very interesting person between his family, being diagnosed, education, and many other things, including his research, he is definitely worth reading about. This paper will inform you of everything you need to know about Stephen William Hawking.
Systematic discrimination against women and girls with disabilities continues to result in the denial of the rights to experience their sexuality, to have sexual relationships and to found and maintain families. While the right to integrity and the right of a woman to make her own reproductive choices are contained in a number of international human rights treaties, women with disabilities continue to be denied these rights through practices such as forced sterilization, sexual violence and the removal of their legal capacity in many parts of the world. I have always been interested in those with disabilities. My parents used to run a home dedicated to taking proper care of those with intellectual and physical disabilities and I grew up being surrounded them. Many of them I am still friends with to this day and I find it interesting to see the stigma that surrounds those who are disabled, those who I call my friends.
Albert Camus is a widely renowned author and existentialist philosopher from the 1950s. He believed in a concept called “The Absurd” which he described as the notion that our universe is completely irrational, yet people continue to try and give order and meaning to it. For most normal human beings, this is an extremely difficult concept to accept, including the main character from the novel “The Stranger”, Meursault. Meursault does not express and ignores his emotions, even though it is evident in the book that he does experience them. However, once Meursault falls into a blind rage with the chaplain, the universe begins to make more sense to him. In order to come to an acceptance of the indifference of the universe, one must have an emotional breakthrough, which Camus shows through differences in sentence structure and elemental imagery between parts one and two.
Most people feel relatively uncomfortable when they meet someone with an obvious physical disability. Usually, the disability seems to stand out in ones mind so much that they often forget the person is still a person. In turn, their discomfort is likely to betray their actions, making the other person uncomfortable too. People with disabilities have goals, dreams, wants and desires similar to people without disabilities. Andre Dubus points out very clearly in his article, "Why the Able-bodied Still Don't Get It," how people's attitudes toward "cripples" effect them. It's is evident that although our society has come a long way with excepting those with physical disabilities, people do not understand that those with physical disabilities are as much human as the next person
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrong. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. I personally believe this is the best verse to explain God’s love for us and how we should love others. Usually love can make people feel angry, because someone is not doing what you want them to do or doing something they should not be doing. The same thing goes for Gods love; we do things all the time that he does not like. Most people sin everyday, whether they know it or not. If people took this verse and applied it to their marriages, the world would be a better
Stephen has helped to shape society by connecting with able bodied people in an attempt to remove ‘stereotypical’ (Havard, 2014, p.76) values concerning wheelchair users. Stephen Sweetman’s experience provided firm examples of some of the ways in which connections and disconnections ‘produce differences and inequalities’ (Havard, 2014, p.79).
...what one does. God hopes that everyone lives a good, generous life. Everyone should perform actions from their hearts, because if one is forced to do something it is not love. For instance, throughout life one is taught that being there for the other or a friend is something that is out of love and is the significance of friendship. Everyone should be friends with the poor, get to know them, and lend a helping hand.
or didn’t have a disability she would still be loved and just like everyone else.
... loved more than loving others. Hence, we are never satisfied. The only way for a human being to be fully satisfied of love is to be loved by the absolute completeness. The whole representation of love is God and He is perfect. The Son of God, Jesus Christ, was perfect and love, which was how he died on the cross for the sins of others. The ultimate wholeness of love died for the sins of you and me. Christ did not die in order to take benefit from human beings. He is perfect in himself; he does not need mankind to fulfill his completeness. Hence, Christ died on the cross simply because he loves mankind. He loves you and me so much he gave his own life. What greater love is there than the love of Jesus Christ? As much as human beings strongly desire to be loved, why doesn’t one satisfy one’s hunger of love through the ultimate representation of love, Jesus Christ?
The word “disability” is an efficacious one, as far as words go. It manages to convey both a technical definition (“lack of adequate potency, vigor, or physical or mental capacity; incapacity”) as well as a general sense of the lack of glamour or romanticism found in the world of disabilities (Wai Au and Man David, 2006). Maybe it is because we as a society are preoccupied with both body image, expeditious fine-tunes, and disabilities are an affront to both (Wai Au and Man David, 2006). People with disabilities incline to survive in the world that is largely made for the “able-bodied” and it is perceive that they still want to live a life which is no more different from ordinary people (Rao, 2004). However, society has viewed this population
The ultimate meaning of life is what you portray of it. Something that 's near and dear to your heart, something you believe in and something that will give you a better understanding of yourself. In the reading Matthew 5-7 The Sermon on the Mount, we examine all of these thoughts and begin to get a better picture of what is being taught. Jesus begins by teaching his disciples what 's right from wrong and how one should live their life. But the ultimate meaning of life is what you yourself portrays of it and in this reading we get the chance to understand and make a decision for ourselves to agree or disagree with what Jesus is teaching. The responsibility and duty shown by Jesus is unmeasurable in the way he teaches his disciples the ultimate meaning of life.
Stephen Hawking has a major disability, it does not “subtract” from his abilities. It should be easy to be respecting of those who look and act radically different than ourselves. If one were to meet Dr. Hawking without an introduction would assume based on his physical appearance that he was a mental vegetable when in fact quite the opposite is the case. While he is an extreme example, it shows how wrong one can be when they see other’s disabilities and personal issues while overlooking their abilities. Most are too quick to assume that someone else has similar abilities, motivations, and concerns as themselves. In interactions with others, it is good to remember that the other person is likely very different than oneself. If someone met Hawking without knowing him and without an introduction, but was patient and had a conversation, they would be understanding and accepting towards
The article “Books of the Times- Many Universes in Stephen Hawking’s Grand Design.” by Dwight Garner, talks about Scientist Stephen Hawking’s most recent book “The Grand Design”. Dwight Garner (2010) gives you some background on Hawking’s previous work noting that it was a best seller and explaining what the book is about. Dwight Garner (2010) explains how during his long career Hawking has never shown any type of religious preference affecting his work and writing. Even his former wife described him to be atheist.
