Power Quotes
I agree with the powerlessness quote idea expressed in the person quote. Because it is true if you don’t do nothing you will feel powerless and useless. But if you get in the zone you will feel like you accomplish something in your life. I have experienced something similar to this in my life? Yeah I have a few times, but I overcame that by thinking and getting my head in the projects or groups. So I could feel like I got hope,power of knowing that I did something good.

He only has an issue now because he's been away from his daughter for too long. Caroline isn't needed to say it, and there's no point for her to be the one to say or for her to be there at all. I already pointed out that Freya, Hayley, and Rebekah could've said it.…

She then continues her argument by explaining the opposite of each of these criterion as a stereotypical person. However, Wolf’s assertion suffers from being overly general in that it makes the assumption that all humans have access to the same resources and opportunities to perform the tasks required to be considered meaningful by her standards.…
