We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

between the Capulets and Montagues; Tybalt; the Prince,
citizens, and laws of Verona; and fate.
4. Central Theme: The Feud
The feud between the Capulet and Montague families
runs so deep that even the servants of each house
despise the other.
They have hated each other for generations and
although nobody knows the original reason, they
continue with the hatred, fighting and unnecessary
bloodshed.
This blood feud is why Romeo and Juliet feel pushed
to make the decisions they do...
5. Other Themes:
Right vs. Wrong – what is right for one person may be
totally wrong for another.
Love vs. Family – having to make the difficult choice
between the one you love and the family you should feel
loyalty toward.
Youth vs. Old age – the clash between the young lovers
and the old people who have very different ideas about
love, life and the feud itself.
Friendship – the bonds of friendship are often tested (as
demonstrated in this play.)

much.

buried the feud after these deaths.
13. How does the prologue link to the rest of the play?
Although the prologue seems unnecessary to modern
audiences, it is a concise look at the play.
It may seem like a “spoiler”, but in actual fact, the
prologue is designed to inform the audience about
what is to come...
The task of the actor/director is to make the
audience empathise with the characters so that we
feel something for them when their inevitable
downfall occurs.
We already feel sorry for the young lovers, who are
so ill-fated, but the play will now provide context...
