Synopsis

In "The Loss of the S. S. Titanic," Lawrence Beesley presents an insightful and deeply personal account of the tragic sinking of the Titanic, drawing on his experiences as a survivor. The narrative combines meticulous detail with a poignant literary style, resembling eyewitness testimony more than a conventional historical record. Beesley not only chronologically details the events on that fateful night but also explores the emotional and psychological impacts on passengers, effectively capturing the sense of urgency and desperation that enveloped the ship. His reflective prose allows readers to engage intimately with the calamity of human loss and the horror of the maritime disaster, serving as both a historical document and a literary artifact of the early 20th century's fascination with the Titanic phenomenon. Lawrence Beesley, an English science teacher and journalist, embarked on the Titanic's maiden voyage, providing him with a unique perspective on the events that unfolded. His background in education is evident in his structured writing style, which combines scientific observation with humanistic reflections. Beesley's personal narrative offers not just a recounting of his survival but also commentary on societal issues and maritime safety concerns that arose from the disaster, underscoring the complexity of the moment. I highly recommend "The Loss of the S. S. Titanic" to both literature enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Beesley's work transcends mere recounting, offering a lens through which the reader can appreciate the profound human experience beneath the waves of time. This book is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the cultural and historical significance of the Titanic tragedy.

    Reality Therapy - Facing Reality...

    Reality Therapy is a therapeutic approach that emphasizes personal responsibility and focuses on the present moment, encouraging individuals to make choices that align with their true desires and values. Developed by Dr. William Glasser in the 1960s, it diverges from traditional therapeutic methods by centering on the idea that behavior is a choice and that people can gain control of their lives through conscious decisions. 
    At the core of Reality Therapy is the concept that all behavior is purposeful and is driven by an individual's attempt to fulfill basic needs. These needs include survival, love and belonging, power, freedom, and fun. When people feel that these needs are unmet, they often engage in behaviors that are designed to satisfy them, even if those behaviors are not helpful or productive. Reality Therapy challenges individuals to evaluate whether their current behaviors are effective in meeting these needs and whether they are serving their long-term goals. 
    Another key aspect of Reality Therapy is the belief that individuals can only control their own actions. While external circumstances may influence a person's situation, the therapy stresses that the responsibility for behavior lies with the individual. This approach encourages people to focus on what they can change—namely, their actions—and to stop blaming others or external conditions for their problems. It promotes the idea that by changing one’s choices, it is possible to create a more fulfilling and responsible life.

    “We must think globally, but act locally.” —His Holiness the Dalai LamaSimple and accessible wisdom from His Holiness the Dalai Lama on how we are human, how we are not alone, and how we must help each other.   A global pandemic has revealed to us how the world can be shaken up within a very short period. Such a crisis—experienced by all humans on the earth—has given rise to uncertainty, fear, anxiety, loneliness, and depression. As societies and nations struggle to come to terms with and contain it, economic breakdown, migration, environmental crises, and a dwindling spirit stare us in the face. In this climate, His Holiness the Dalai Lama is calling upon us to be brave—to have the courage to step up to the recognition that we are all part of the same global community. His Holiness reminds us that it takes courage to give up our self-centered sense of individuality; it takes courage to find a sense of oneness with seven billion human beings. Bravery is admitting that we are not alone, and that without community we cannot survive. In Be Brave, His Holiness the Dalai Lama teaches us that practicing compassion and cultivating peace of mind are the paths to inner strength, peace, clarity, and happiness.
