Everything That Happens Will Happen Today

It happened in May 11, 2012, Sunday, which I thought just a another typical day; I am living in Orange almost a year, and I started to learn about neighbor and everything seemed all fine; I woke up in the morning and looked at the window; the sun is as bright as usual days and the sky is as blue as ocean; I have a basketball game at 9:30 a.m., it is at my high school, but when I looked my clock that I look every morning to check the time, and the clock is telling me that I woke up at 8:30 a.m.,…

The main reason Epicurus associated happiness with pleasure is because people do everything for their own sake or their own pleasure. Everything we do in life is for our own pleasure. This can clearly be seen in infants. A baby does not touch a stove when it is hot because they will get burnt and that is not pleasurable. Infants seek pleasure and not pain. This is the same for adults. Adults seek pleasure in everything they do like an infant however sometimes it is harder for adults to see what…

Arthur Miller’s play named The Crucible was one that shows a society turning on itself, accusing one another of false crimes to avoid being suspected of being involved in witchery. The Origin of this mass hysteria was caused by many young girls who were involved with “conjuring spirits” in the woods one night- something banned by the church. The young girls played a powerful part in the play due to the Puritan society where it was known that children were highly susceptible to detecting evil.…

whatever pleases him”. This can be put in another way “There is absolutely nothing that happens in the universe that is outside of God’s influence and authority. As King of kings and Lord of lords, God has no limitations.” Basically, this means that since God created the universe he is sovereign over all of his creation. Being sovereign “means being the ultimate source of all power, authority, and everything that exists. Only God can make those claims; therefore, it’s God’s sovereignty that…

A lot of people get discriminated against every day for anything and everything. The most common type of discrimination to me is black and white, and that dates back ages in slavery and all other things. It seems like every time there is a type of discrimination it always has to do with black people. These past years or so the most common type of discrimination is cops and black people. Not white cops and black people but cops in general and black people. It seems likes cops just target black…

life, why does a person cry at a funeral? Epictetus expresses it best with one of the selections in his article, From The Handbook, "People are not disturbed by what happens but by the view they take of what happens, death is not terrible, for if it were it would have seemed so to Socrates," (787). In other words, it is not what happen to a person, but how that person handles the situation. Epictetus believes that the reaction of a person is more important than the event itself. Death was the…

concentration camps. After this discovery people around the world were shocked and disgusted on what has happened to the Jews. In fact, our society today wants to make sure that our generation will not only learn about World War two but also learn about the Holocaust. However, why is it vital that the lessons learned from the…

not boasting, for example, about abstinence to those who do not share the same beliefs about sexuality as you. Another fundamental belief that is talked about is the acceptance of not being able to control everything. In document #6.2 the idea behind this is that the power to control everything belongs to god and that since you do not have this power, you should spend your life focusing on what you can control.
