Synderesis "Synderesis" is a technical term from scholastic philosophy, signifying the innate principle in the moral consciousness of every person which directs the agent to good and restrains him from evil. It is first found in a singe passage of St. Jerome (d. 420) in his explanation of the four living creatures in Ezekiel's vision. Jerome explains that most commentators hold that the human, the lion, and the ox of the vision represent the rational, the irascible, and the appetitive (or concupiscent) parts of the soul, according to Plato's division, while the fourth figure, that of the eagle, represents a fourth part of the soul, above and outside these three: This the Greeks call synderesis, which spark of conscience was not extinguished from the breast of Adam when he was driven from Paradise. Through it, when overcome by pleasures or by anger, or even as sometimes deceived by a similitude of reason, we feel that we sin; ... and this in the scriptures is som...

The Ancient Greek philosophers have played a pivotal role in the shaping of the western philosophical tradition. This article surveys the seminal works and ideas of key figures in the Ancient Greek philosophical tradition from the Presocratics to the Neoplatonists. It highlights their main philosophical concerns and the evolution in their thought from the sixth century BCE to the sixth century CE. The Ancient Greek philosophical tradition broke away from a mythological approach to explaining the world, and it initiated an approach based on reason and evidence. Initially concerned with explaining the entire cosmos, the Presocratic philosophers strived to identify its single underlying principle.

This sparked a series of investigations into the limit and role of reason and of our sensory faculties, how knowledge is acquired and what knowled...

If you aren’t a manager, maybe you will hear about the following myths all the time and think they are right. Unfortunately, that includes some managers. The important of being an employer or a leader pretty much lies in your self-recognition, so be careful with these misconceptions and illusions in your career path. Myth #1: Manager makes more money than individual contributors ♦ Reality: Most of you think that, right? But it actually depends. And also do not forget the real hours they have to work. With different kinds of jobs such as sales, artists, athletes, etc, an outstanding individual contributor at least could earn equal to a manager. Management now is only seen as a job which needs some specific skills and not necessary have to be the best one. Myth #2: Manager is an employee who has the best performance. ♦ Reality: As an illustration, the best athletes don’t make the best coaches. If you promote a staff because of his good results, maybe you’re  making a bad decision...

"Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength – carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time. Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength." – Corrie Ten Boom While the Bible is full of instances of God telling us not to fear (he says it in various ways more than 350 times), most of us struggle at one time or other with fear or anxiety. What is it about worry that means it affects us even after we profess that we trust in God and are seeking to serve him and look to him for all our needs? It is reassuring that God knew that the human heart has a tendency to fall prey to worry. That's why, I think, he reminds us so often not to fear! In a country like ours, We can worry about so many things, especially how we are going to pay our house rent/mortgage, fuel scarcity, road traffic, our work, dealing with teenage children's hormones our aged parents, getting enough sleep...
