Dina Khaled KhmayesProf; Nadim KhouryClass Sysem – Final document16/5/2014Question one; “Freud's Genesis and Civilization and Its Discontents both tell stories about the origins of guilt and shame. Compare and contrast the two versions.” Faith in High Power Ron Rolheiser is a man who once said, “Our sense of guilt arises from our sense of indebtedness. We are indebted…since all we are and have is one gift. When we give – life, time, money, love – we recognize this, we accept that the debt is unpayable and that everything is a gift, and we begin to free ourselves from the feeling of guilt. states that the life of the human being when he has given money, love and other things, he will be free from feeling responsible and therefore guilty about how to repay these things. These things, money, love and life itself are gifts from God, ignorance of these things as gifts from God, is because we have a sense of responsibility towards everything we let's do. These things are unpayable, through your obedience to your God they are considered payable. (How relevant is it to the topic of the essay? More importantly, where is your introduction?) Sigmund Freud spoke about his theory of human guilt. This emotion comes fundamentally from the human creation of civilization, since the human being has the agency of destruction (do you mean the destructive instinct? Is it only destructive for Freud?) and at the same time he wants civilization , he can do nothing other than direct it. this internally. However, when aggression is directed inward, it will result in one of the strongest and self-destructive emotions, which is guilt. (correct, but you must refer to the text) On the other hand Genesis in chapter 22 "History of Abraham and Isaac" ...... middle of paper ...... beyond these limits, only God has this ability, so God was also beyond the limits of Abraham's mind and his own understanding of things ''Abraham's own understanding of sacrifice''. All of this is the result of the faith in God that Abraham had. However, since Abraham decided not to tell his son about God's command, he felt guilty, so he punished himself by not telling his son and kept the emotion from inner guilt, and took full responsibility for God's command. Abraham created several obstacles to prevent himself from speaking to his son about God's command, and so it was because of his fear of God. In the end, he did not sacrifice his son, and his patience led him to have a reward worthy of God's love, as God had said to him: “And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because you have obeyed my voice'' (Genesis, 1; 18).
