A politician who is completely biased about things is not going to improve the area that they take care of. While it is not very wise to be too biases, one bias is good to have. That…

Both of these qualities depend on something for someone to have them. A philosopher once commented, "Wisdom is founded on memory; happiness on forgetfulness." Through this quote the philosopher is trying to suggest how every action we choose to make affects us later in life by what we remember and what we forget. The quality of having experience, knowledge and good…

    Early on in Republic, it is clear that Socrates cares deeply about the idea of justice. However, he and his company cannot seem to agree on a proper definition of the word.

    I hold stories and experience in high regard. So to elaborate on what I think wisdom is, I think back to my most recent job. I worked with three other fellows for the S.S. Badger as auto-attendants. My co-workers will be known as Mr. H, Mr. D, and Mr. Y. All three of us are the same age, but that is where much of the similarities end. Mr. Y was a super intelligent person. He was class valedictorian, scored a 33 on his ACT, and was going to attend an honors college for physics. Mr. D was…
