Gratitude is an essential feeling for our tranquility and happiness. That's because when we are grateful for something it means that a good and prosperous element has been added to our lives, making us happier.
My biggest memory with this feeling happened a few years ago, when my family was going through a lot of financial problems and the situation at my house was not good. We were all very stressed, but happy to be able to count on each other. At that time I had been looking for a job across the city and I couldn't get a call for any of them. I was very sad and my mental health was very shaken because I did not see the solution to my problem.
However, after a long wait, I managed to find a job. This was such a good time in my life that I felt the fullest gratitude I had ever felt before. The job, even if it paid me little, would allow me to help my family and still help me to calm my mind.
That way I was able to understand exactly what gratitude was and realized that we don't need great things to happen in order to be grateful, but we can be grateful for small things that positively impact our lives very strongly.
Plato, the notorious greek philosopher, had a very specific way of viewing the arts and their meaning to society at the time. To Plato, art was a way of imitation because the artist copied what was infront of him it was a sort of plagerism of reality. He considered the artist's point of view limited and far from the truth, which he was obsessed in attaining.
Even though he thought that art was far from the truth, since it was only a copy of reality, he recognized art's power over human being's emotions. Both plastic arts and music were efficient tools to cause emotional reactions from the viewers, and therefore an effective way of teaching. He thought the influence art had on human emotions could be dangerous at times, that's why it should be used as a didactic instrument.
In conclusion, art was only valuable to Plato if it produced emotional outcome in the subjects exposed to it, and this influence should be used to educate the masses, not to try to represent reality since it could never be completly accurate.
Answer:
Greek creation Myth
The Ancient Greeks believed that in the beginning, the world was in a state of nothingness which they called Chaos. Suddenly, from light, came Gaia (mother earth) and from her came Uranus (the sky) along with other old gods (called primordials) like Pontus (the primordial god of the oceans).
Polynesian creation Myth:
In Māori mythology the primal couple Rangi and Papa (or Ranginui and Papatūānuku) appear in a creation myth explaining the origin of the world (though there are many different versions). In some South Island dialects, Rangi is called Raki or Rakinui.
