Everything Bad Is Good for You

Choosing Happiness: The Epicurean Formula for a Good Life There is often great debate as to what can be considered the good life and how one can achieve it. In this paper I will argue that Epicurus’ moderate hedonism will make for the most flourishing life because it promotes happiness and gives each person a clear formula through which they can make decisions. I will do this by first defining the good and bad life, then introducing Epicurus’ ideas and finally showing how they will lead to the…

The Dark Side of Internet Fame Even when using the Internet for the greater good, don’t post everything on the Internet. Jessica Bennett, exposes the bad side of Internet fame. There are hateful websites and mean videos that publicly shame people in life. That use the website to insult people and ruining their name. From using other people’s videos from a long time ago and revising their videos to make it funny; to recreate the video to become famous for attention. Before long everyone will do…

community are there is no war, the temperature is controlled to the perfect climate, and the community leaders give the residents everything essential to living for free. The three cons are there are no feelings, the community is built on lies, and the community makes all of your decisions and you don’t get to choose anything. The first pro is there is no war. This is good because no one in the community needs to fight and get hurt. The second pro is the temperature is controlled. This helps…

dies. Everything else that person does is to just pass the time. They should not be making the passing time hard. Everyone has bad parts of their life, but you can make it better. Why does it seem like life is so hard? That is the question everyone seems to ask. When a person has a bad day, they end up asking if their day was really that bad. When a few bad things happen to that person in a day-that does not mean their whole day has to be bad. They are really only making themselves have a bad…

things as good, other things become bad”(Lao Tzu, 2). Non-dualism doesn’t really make much sense at first. How can two opposites be interrelated? The word opposite in itself means that the two things are most definitely not related. Beautiful and ugly may not have the same meaning at all, but they can have an effect on each other, and it is the same for good and bad. I compared the relationship between beautiful and ugly to having a favorite outfit. Once you find a favorite outfit that…

People choose to win. Winning is fun, but if you spend all your time on winning then when the job is done it may not be done right. Doing a job right is completing everything that needs to be done and doing a high quality job at it. When a person only does stuff to be better than other people, that doesn’t make a very good worker because if you are focused on winning, it can be more about getting done faster over doing a better job. Work ethic is when a person takes pride in his work. Like doing…

brings so many different emotions to me, other times music will remind me of certain memories or people. Music can be such a powerful thing to some people. You can listen to music when you are sad, happy, excited, angry, etc. However, my go-to song when I feel like I'm going through a hard time and need some motivation or reminder that you have to stay positive through all the negative situations in life is Olivia Lane’s song “Make My Own SunShine”. The song “Make My Own SunShine”…

beliefs that go along with it. I’ve seen the good that can come out of it and I’ve seen the completely bigoted and ignorant bad side of it. But with all the different aspects of Christianity one thing that seems to be the most important is the thought of Afterlife; be it Heaven or Hell. In the Christian religion getting in to Heaven is the main goal everyone strives for. Heaven is in another realm or world or possibly even planet and is where the “good” people go. It’s the reward that God…

from Anne’s diary is “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” This tell us that Anne’s character is kind, forgiving, and optimistic. Even if people do bad things at times, Anne still thinks that they a really good person at heart. She tries to see the good in things even if there isn’t much hope. I personally do agree with this quotation. People may do some bad things but afterwards they will feel guilty because they are good at heart. They regret their…
