Vision, the Reality it comes to, And How it Affects Attitude
Vision, reality, and attitude, how would one define these three terms? Are they all related in some way? Vision is defined as the manner in which one sees or conceives of something. Reality is defined as the quality or state of being actual or true. Attitude is defined as a state of mind or a feeling. By definition they do not seem to be related, but in our everyday lives all three play an intertwining role. This has always played a role in people's lives and even in their writing. They have shown in the recent events of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001. People envisioned going to a normal day of work, but they were in for the worst day of their lives. Because of this attack, many victims of the tragedy have completely changed their attitude and outlook on life. In the writings of John Edwards and Anne Bradstreet their visions somewhat differed from the reality which they lived in and which also affected their attitude towards the environment and people around them. Jonathan Edwards was a very religious man, who envisioned everything in life being based around the wrath of God. He was a Puritan minister who preached against the way people lived and thought that they were all sinners. In his story Sinners i
He said, "The wrath of God is like great waters that are damned for the present; they increase more and more, and higher and higher. When he is preaching about God there are no positive things said, just on how God can punish you at any time anywhere. Edwards also said, "There is nothing between you and Hell but air; it is only the power and mere pleasure of God that holds you up. He had envisioned that God would someday go against all the people but it seemed that God even went against him in the end. Jonathon Edwards was more of a negative person, and Anne Bradstreet was a positive person even through the bad times. At first during the Great Awakening people strongly believed Edwards' preaching's and wanted to repent so badly that people were shrieking and crying in church quite loudly. He was always prophesizing about how God could let go of his hold and drop everyone into the fiery pits of Hell. In conclusion, Jonathon Edwards and Anne Bradstreet had different visions and attitudes towards life. She did not care for her worldly things, only that she will soon be rejoicing in Heaven.
