Does mercy exist in the world? Justify your answer with examples from real life.

Answer:

Mercy only exists in a world wherein evil actions happen: a fallen world. We do not speak of mercy when something good happens; we give thanks. Thus, in a world without evil, there is no need for mercy. And while this may be obvious, it can prove complicated.

Mercy has two levels, a divine side and a human side. From the human side, we are asked to forgive enemies and the acknowledged sins of others. But this willingness to forgive is not a minimization of the wrongs, but a recognition of their seriousness. Mercy is not a substitute for repentance on the part of the one who does evil. Mercy is rather a gesture on the part of those who suffer from our evil deeds or words.

Answer the question below based on the passage “The Myth of Tantalus”.
Assoli18 [71]

After reading the passage about Tantalus, we can conclude the following about him:

Tantalus most likely wished he had friends.

<h3>Who is Tantalus?</h3>
  • Tantalus is a Greek mythology character. As a matter of fact, it is from his name that the verb "tantalize" is derived. Tantalus was the son of the god Zeus with a nymph and, for that reason, he was friends with the gods and allowed in heaven.
  • However, Tantalus used his access to heaven to sin against the gods. He stole nectar and ambrosia from them to give to humans. He also killed his own son and served him for the gods to eat to test the gods.
  • For that reason, he was punished by being imprisoned in Hades, a mythological hell, where he could not reach the water and the food that were right in front of him.

<h3>What can we infer from the passage?</h3>
  • The passage says that the night Tantalus spent with fellow mortals was glorious. He was happy because he felt as if he had actual friends. With that piece of information, we can infer that Tantalus wished he has friends, that he craved this sort of intimacy with other mortals.
