The Purpose Of My Life

Decent Essays
I miss you so dearly. I truly wish I could be with you but I have to fulfill what I now consider the purpose of my life. Making this major and life threatening choice was very difficult but I am willing to go to all measures to discover what has been a mystery to us for so long. I am aware my theories are against so many and can cause people to be at strife but it is those who stand with their beliefs alone who prosper the most. I wish you to be open-minded before reading this and hopefully support me publishing my theory.
I had a life changing voyage that changed how I looked at the world. What I discovered and observed can presumably change science as we know it. On my travel through the continents of Africa, Australia and South America I observed three birds that lived on similar environments that looked remarkably alike. The African Ostrich,

I think it is very reasonable and is backed up by concrete evidence. Despite saying this I am very petrified of publishing my theory in worry of people thinking I am only being irrational and getting accusing of nihilism. My wife is my everything. The thought of her leaving me because she thinks my theory will interfere with her religious beliefs will be unquestionably agonizing to me. What will I ever be without my wife? The concept of descent of modification is not meant to be against orthodox beliefs but to explain the diversity of the world and how the earth came to be. I just recently came to the realization that another naturalist by the name of Alfred Wallace published a manuscript with the same concepts I have been working on for years. I was in complete anger and astonishment. I felt as if all my originality and worth has been smashed. There is now no way for me to publish honorably. My only option is to publish a joint paper. If only I did not let my fear get in the way. I wish I didn’t let people force me to choose between science and my beloved

    “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change” – Charles Darwin. Evolution is “the process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth”. The theory of evolution has become one of the most controversial topics in science because of how the public reacts to the contents of the theory. The theory is controversial because it posses the debate of whether God or a supreme being played a role in the process of evolution or that humans have evolved naturally over time. Many opponents of the theory argue that science is a knowledge that can only be repeated, demonstrated, and observed and evolution can only be believed in.…

    The New Theory Evolution a simple four syllable word. A word that not only changed the way we view animals and ourselves but also sparked debates. Unfortunately this paper is not based on the 1960’s classic Inherit the wind by Stanley Kramer. Which was about whether or not evolution should be taught in schools. No, in fact, that word has created yet another fire.…

    Who would of know that the discovery of a small fragment of a human cranium parietal bone would be so controversial to the understanding of human evolution? Even though we had already found human ancestral remains that contributed to the thoughts of modern humans this new piece of the puzzle created a ripple not only in the way schools were taught but also the way humans saw religion. But it wasn’t till the connection between primates and humans that flipped the world upside down. This discovery posed a conflict with the biblical timeline that most religions believe in; do we suddenly change our perfectly created understanding of the way we were created just because a small piece of what may be human remains while stifling the growth of science…

    Meaning In Life

    Waking up each morning, no one can resist wondering why they were put here, what they were destined to do. Everyone lives everyday searching for their reason, their meaning in life. While most claim to find their life’s meaning through gratifying work or service, all hope that defining life is as simple as a glance into a dictionary. However, realistic authors like Flannery O’Connor, Ernest Hemingway, and Herman Melville use their literary works to delve into complex characters who find their life’s purpose through immoral or unusual actions. In “A Good Man is Hard to Find”, The Sun Also Rises, and “Bartleby, the Scrivener”, these authors develop their protagonist or antagonist to display the universal theme of finding meaning in life.…

    Especially considering you developed these ideas without the understanding and knowledge of genetics and molecular biology. But still, you have managed to develop a set of laws explaining the evolution of species, which later became the backbone of biology. Impressive. You have made one of the most important contributions to the science of evolution; your concept of natural selection.

    In her essay “Meaning in Life and Why It Matters,” Susan Wolf discusses the reasons that contribute to meaning in our lives and argues that we should “understand meaningfulness as an attribute lives can have that is not reducible to or subsumable under either happiness, as it is ordinarily understood, or morality” (3). In laying out her beliefs of how we can find meaning, she discusses different viewpoints and offers suggestions of how they should be altered and combined to make a more accurate theory she calls the ‘Fitting Fulfillment View.’ In this paper I will explain the details of the Fitting Fulfillment View as described by Wolf as well as why it is important to talk about meaning and how we can judge whether something is meaningful or not. Through looking at the example of education, I will prove that Wolf’s account is reasonable, versatile, and…

    The idea of existentialism is believed to have been founded by a Danish philosopher named Søren Kierkegaard, who lived from 1813 to 1855. Although Kierkegaard was a religious man, existentialism became a more atheistic worldview as the philosophy further developed in the 20th century. There are many variations of existentialism, but the main idea of it is that human lives has “no meaning unless people give them meaning.” To elaborate, existentialists say that although life itself originally has no absolute answer, humans are free to choose or create their own meaning to life, without being swayed or forced by the voices and ways of society and religion. This is an intriguing worldview, as it not only supposedly answers some of the biggest questions…
