Release....what could it be?

If, for some reason, you already know the meaning of "release", please don't tell the other students. But, if you don't, I'm sure you have some ideas or good guesses. What do you think "release" is in this community? I'd love to hear your ideas.

Pain could be reduced but ...

Hello everybody! How have you been?
I've been thinking about a world without pain since Friday night with pain.

In my opinion, emotional suffering is caused by varios reasons ; poverty, jealousy, sickness, failure, loneliness, vanity, rejection, death, etc. Some of them could be avoid by the control , but I feel it could be impossible to avoid them completely as long as we have our own feelings. Therefore I think pain could be reduced but there is no way to avoid it.

There is no solution.

When we meet a strange person, we are nervous or feel uncomfortable feeling that we don't know why. But, if you think simply, there is no reason why we are uncomfortable when we face that situation. Maybe, the reasons are caused many facts but I think the most reason is less information about the person. In other word, Because of fear that is caused ignorance, we suffer. In my opinion, since the prehistoric age, humans have struggled to alive. So, recognizing who is an enemy or an ally is important. The instict still has remained till now. The reason that we suffer in the first place is that the person is not proved. If we have open mind, we will not suffer anymore. But, another problem follows. Even we have open mind if the another has not that, it will not work. When we want to clap, we need two hands. We cannot make a clap with one hand definitely. Even people insist they have open mind, there will be difference. So, people will be hurt, then because the people don't want to be hurt, they will not open their mind at first place and will obseve again like past time. So, it is impossible that people have a perfect open mind. In my opinion, unfortunatly, there is no solution not to be suffered.

What do you think would have to be done in order to insure a community without suffering? As we discussed in class, what causes emotional suffering in the first place? How could that be avoided or prevented? I look forward to reading your ideas. Either post them here or bring your written ideas on Monday. See you then!

After reading The Giver chapter 19

We who live the real world not community have the same Jonas' memory.
So, we have already realized that the murder is ver bad and terrible.
But I think people in community contained Jonas' dad, never know
the such thing is a wrong, and a sin.
Can they know the meaning of murder?
I doubt that they know even the dead.
