I think the point of the relation of the quote to Atwood's poem is that what we see (or presume) and what we experience can be two totally different things. The poem talks about the striking differences between Canada as tourists see it and Canada as the speaker sees it through her own experience. For the tourists, <span>Saskatchewan is just another lake with "convenient" places to pose and take photos. For her, it is a very personal place of memories and meanings. In relation to the quote, we need to really meet our neighbors, instead of just believing the superficial images. We can really meet them through literature. By doing that, we will meet ourselves too, and realize the deep connection that binds us to other, different people and cultures.</span>

cricket20 [7]
Quietism is an older christian philosophy.
Monaism is the idea that attributes oneness or singleness to a concept. Various kinds of monism can be distinguished.
<span>Aquinas rejected these mainly due to the fact that he In other words, was an anthropologist, with a complete theory of Man, right or wrong.  He did not in any way believe in the divine.

He believed in Man living for Man not that some God put us here to live for him instead we must find our reason of being put here and living for that reason.</span>
