eives, but misfortune teaches (Boethius, 40). The valuable lessons that bad luck and misfortune teaches a person is to live life modestly, appreciate everything that you have, be humble, and dont take anything for granted. Lady Philosophy advises to reach the point in the wheel where good and bad fortune are equal and then a person wont need either to be happy. If you have God and know yourself, than a person doesnt need either to be truly happy.4. Boethius relates the human experience of destiny/fate and the divine foreknowledge/providence by interpreting their meanings in real life. Providence is the immovable and simple form of all things which come into being, while Fate is the moving connection and temporal order of all things which the divine simplicity has decided to bring into being (Boethius, 92). Boethius says that providence is what happens in one second for God and fate is what happens in the course of a lifetime for human beings. He suggests that God knows the end of our lives right from the beginning but he doesnt necessarily know each individual action or thought that it will take for a person to get there. Fate on the other hand is free will. Human beings determine what courses of actions to take in a lifetime, but ultimately, God knows where we are going to end up in the end. 5. The relationship between human time and Gods knowledge of our actions is that what happens for us as humans over the course of many years in a lifetime, happens for God in less than a second. We know as humans what is right and wrong from our inner feelings and thoughts. This is a connection with God that leads us in the right direction. If a person knows in their mind and their heart that they are doing the right thing, then they are getting even closer to where they are supposed to be. Human beings act as Gods puppets. If we choose what is right, then he will lead us in the right direction. Part 2: The Art of Courtly Love, written by Andreas C...
