The,Universe Next Door
opens our understanding to the world view of others, and our own world view. Everyone has a world view, even if we don’t know how to express it. Everyone has a world view, even if we don't know we have a world view.
So says James W. Sire, in this excellent introductory World View Catalog. The basics of theism, deism, naturalism, nihilism, existentialism, Eastern monism, and new age are all here. If you haven’t read it, let me recommend it to you. It will help you.
This year I plan to write a novel. The story has been on the “back burner” for five years. All the characters are clamoring, “This is the year.” I trust they are right.
Like us; each character sees issues in a different light, however slight. The trick is to let each one express their world view without judging them through our world view. This is where James Sire’s book can help us.
Ernest Hemingway’s novella,The Old Man and The Sea
,is naturalism at its best; yet it has dramatic scenes of theism at the end.Blue Road to Atlantis
, by Jay Nussbaum, is Hemingway’s story from the huge marlin’s underwater world view.
We look forward to reading and writing with our Writer’s Guild this year. Have a blessed day. Enjoy yourself, it’s later than think. Find, then “swim with the current.”
