- ... The latter of the three main problems is directly related with delaying gratification because it involves putting off the difficult things. Dedication to reality deals with the ability to clearly see the reality of the world. Without this clear picture we have a false misconception of the way the world works. This also impairs us from being able to make wise decisions and determine the correct course of action. People that ignore reality ignore it because reality is scary and not easy to deal with. To have a true dedication to reality in Pecks words means "first of all, a life of continuous and never-ending stringent self-examination. We know the world only through our relationship to it. Therefore, to know the world, we must not only examine it but we must simultaneously examine the examiner."(p. 51) Peck describes the fourth and final tool of ...

I feel that he uses the term fire not to hold the direct meaning of a burning flame, but to represent the punishment something can inflict ...
- 3683: Robert Frost - Imagery In His Poetry
- ... they tended to speak in metaphor to convey specific ideas (Potter 164). He did not believe in creating new ideas into people’s minds, rather he created new pictures of old ideas. He perceived the world with beauty and strongness and to calm the "emotional response," he filtered it through the intellect and put it into a metaphor, thus subjecting it to his form of artistry. Frost felt that if he as a poet was able to have these different perceptions of the world, his readers should be able to appreciate them, even if he only hinted at them. He thought as Emerson did: "the correspondence between objects were what began the process of poetic creation" (Potter 165). Cole ... process of denial, of denying oneself the pretentious magnitude of which Frost was habitually wary" (Trachea 116). Frost’s style is in one way "broadest theoretical speculation" and in another, his own view of the world (Trachea 93). He has two main views of the world and those are of a manageable world and a fearsome world. Frost’s optimistic view in his poetry demonstrates the normal, the ordinary and ...

- 3685: Reality - What It Is And How It Works
- ... the illusion of reality with a piece of machinery known as the computer. This is done with several computer-user interfaces used to simulate the senses.

The eyes are approximately 6.5 centimeters apart, and allow you to have a full-colour, three-dimensional view of the world. Stereoscopy, in itself, is not a very new idea, but the new twist is trying to generate completely new images in real- time. In 1933, Sir Charles Wheatstone invented the first stereoscope with the same ... main types of feedback that are being researched are that of force- reflection feedback and tactile feedback. Force feedback devices exert a force against the user when they try to push something in a virtual world that is 'heavy'. Tactile feedback is the sensation of feeling an object such as the texture of sandpaper. Both are equally important in the development of VR. Currently, the most successful development in force- ...
