Book excerpt: Omagiu M riei Sale, Cititorul Motto: E vreme de suflet, de ridicat un altar, / E vreme de adunat din istoria ta, pagini de sanctuar; / Ca pas rea care se-ntoarce din departe / La vechiul cuib, cuminte / Vino cu mine înapoi, s facem o carte Din aduceri aminte ( Benone Burtescu Adu- i aminte ). De-a lungul anilor, am primit multe telefoane de la cititori. i tot de la cititori p strez mald re de scrisori. Pe cei mai mul i nu i-am v zut niciodat . Le-am cunoscut îns în elepciunea i frumuse ea lor sufleteasc . Telefoanele i scrisorile primite de la ace ti sensibili consumatori de art , le-am sim it ca pe ni te bucurii trec toare, dar deosebit de stimulatoare, în acele momente ale scrisului meu. Oricât m-a str dui, nu mai pot retr i acele clipe de bucurie, cu intensitatea i ritmul b t ilor inimii mele de atunci. Faptul de a putea împ rt i o parte dintre bucuriile i gândurile transmise pe calea undelor i a scrisorilor, îmi d sentimentul utilit ii i al comuniunii, al continuit ii i al împlinirii unei datorii sacre fa de lumea în care sunt fericit c mai tr iesc. i dac ast zi, mai mult ca oricând, avem nevoie de bucurii, de ce nu am purcede a ne recrea pe noi în ine, cu ideile i bucuriile noastre, r spl tindu-ne unii pre al ii? Exilul a însemnat pentru mine, mai presus de orice, libertatea de a m exprima. Dar aceast libertate nu ar fi fost suficient , dac scrisul meu nu ar fi g sit acel imens suport din partea cititorilor. Pe ei i-am c utat de la început i m-am bucurat când i-am descoperit, în familie, printre prieteni i cunoscu i, printre editorii sensibili care m-au publicat, dar mai ales printre abona ii i cump r torii de ziare, reviste i c r i, sau pur i simplu, printre miile de necunoscu i din lumea cea mare. Scriind toate acestea, nu vreau decât s aduc un omagiu no iunii de cititor, autor sau neautor, în eles deopotriv ca spirit însetat de Adev rul con inut în Lumina Cuno tin ei . Acestor iubitori ai luminii din cuvânt, le datorez cu prisosin rândurile de fa , pe care le voi întrerupe cu subtitluri inspirate din convorbiri i scrisori memorabile. Din Youngstown, Ohio, am primit ni te cuvinte generoase, înso ite de îndemnuri, cu o delicat nuan cre tin : M-am bucurat s primesc aceste c r i de la Dumneavoastr i m-ar bucura mult s tiu c mai scrie i i l sa i muza s vorbeasc . Acum, mai mult ca oricând, to i avem nevoie de hran spiritual . Ferice de cel ales s aduc aceast hran Cu dragoste în Domnul Hristos! Pr. Remus Bleahu . V mul umesc, P rinte! Cuvintele Sfin iei Voastre m inspir i îmi dau putere s ignor propria-mi suferin i s -mi reiau scrisul, acum, dup aproape trei luni de întrerupere. C ci ce ar putea fi mai folositor pentru cei ce m citesc i pentru cei ce scriu, ca i mine, decât s le ofer o parte din bucuria bucuriei mele de a mai tr i? Au trecut mul i ani de când primesc i citesc literatur scris de exila i români de pe diferite meridiane ale planetei. Sunt profund impresionat de talentul multora dintre ace ti autori, ca i de valoarea scrierilor ce le semneaz , multe dintre ele fiind publicate în regie proprie, deci prin eforturi de renun are la priorit i de ordin personal i ignorând riscul de a nu fi recenza i la vreme, de critica literar . Iat de ce mi-am f cut eu însumi o misiune din a aduce, într'un timp cât mai scurt, asemenea autori, în aten ia publicului cititor de aici i din ar . O asemenea lucrare a avut ca efect imediat, o mai mare fluen a scrisorilor ce le-am primit. Insemn rile din aceast carte sunt rezultatul unui proiect mai vechi, cuprinzând idei de interes general, ce ar putea interesa un public mai larg, doritor s cunoasc ceva despre preocup rile spirituale din comunitatea româno-american i di alte comunit i române ti din lume.

Download or read book Joy and Laughter in Nietzsche s Philosophy written by Paul E. Kirkland and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-06-16 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzing the importance of joy, laughter, and cheerfulness in Nietzsche's thought, this volume addresses an under-examined topic in the secondary literature. By exploring disparate aspects of these interrelated emotions it provides new insights into his key ideas. The contributors-among them philosophers and political scientists-illustrate the significance of these feelings to reveal political ramifications of their affirmative potential and their broader role in Nietzsche's philosophical aims. These include how the joyful disposition Nietzsche commends informs his free spirit's self-overcoming, attempts to revalue all values, and prospects of ultimately transfiguring humanity. Among other topics, scholars assess the Übermensch and shared joy, learning to laugh at oneself, Schopenhauer's jokes, Pascal's cheerfulness, and the Dada movement's subversively playful aesthetic. By contemplating Nietzsche's emphasis on joy and laughter, the volume reveals a thinker who, far from being a caricature of hopeless nihilism, is in fact the hitherto unrecognised champion of an alternative liberatory politics.

Download or read book A Psychological Perspective on Joy and Emotional Fulfillment written by Chris Meadows and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the history of psychology, there have been full investigations of discrete emotions (particularly negative ones) and a recent wealth of books on happiness, but few exist on the emotion of joy. This book takes a unique psychological approach to understanding this powerful emotion and provides a framework within which the study of human joy and other related positive fulfillment experiences can fit in a meaningful schema. A key feature of this book is its development of an experiential phenomenology of joy. This phenomenology is based on more than three hundred descriptions of joy experiences recounted by subjects in an empirical study executed by the author. Types of joy experiences are examined, such as excited vs. serene joy, anticipatory vs. completed joy, and affiliative vs. individuated joy. There is no comparable book or work that clarifies the relationship among major positive states with emotional components including satisfaction, happiness, and ecstasy.

Download or read book The Joy of the Gospel written by Pope Francis and published by Image. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage
