Divine or universe-ordained, whatever the case may be, we were brought into existence in our metaphorical boat and we were given a wheel of control so, short of a bible-style guide book, it is as apparent as it can be that we are here to take control of our…

    Why would someone want to live forever? Bernard Williams, a philosopher and an author wrote the essay titled “The Makropulos Case: Reflection on the Tedium of Immortality”. In his essay he discusses how death is not necessarily evil, like some people think. In order to structure his argument, he includes both Epicurus’ and Lucretuis point of view that humans overthink the state of being dead. He agrees with both philosophers that being dead isn’t bad, but Williams believes that Lucretuis is somewhat contradicting himself because Lucretuis cares about experience, but is saying that living a shorter life is better than living a longer life when it should be the other way around.…

The argument is, are we as humans, born with the intent of doing evil and we learn manners as we get older, or, are we as humans naturally trying to do good and what is right, but it can vary depending on your environment. William Golding, author of “Lord Of The Flies”, believes that we humans naturally do evil. While on the other side, Jean-Jacques Rousseau believes that it all depends on what kind of environment you are in.
