Good Housekeeping

In The Politics, Aristotle questions the compatibility of commerce and “the good life,” a lifestyle involving political participation, financial independence, and philosophical thought that culminates in the fullest development of reason and other faculties (3). In particular, he contests the view of Solon, an Athenian politician and firm proponent of commerce and trade, who believed that “no bound to riches has been fixed by man” (11). Aristotle provides three reasons to combat Solon: the…

Movie Night at Torr Neverwhon It was movie night in Dr. Aeon's tower sanctum of Torr Neverwhon, or, more accurately, it was Sturdiman Serial night. Sunset Aeon had long since finished her housekeeping chores; simple specialized magical cantrips long-since perfected for mundane tasks. Her Sanctum was neat as a pin, she had available ample refreshments such as popcorn and adult beverages. Most importantly, her magical Sturdiman Movie Maker simulacrum had finished generating tonight's exciting…

The Enlightenment cultural matrix picture that I decide to analyze and write about is David. David was well known for defeating Goliath in battle; he only used a rock and slingshot to bring the giant down. Gian Lorenzo Bernini sculpted the statue of David somewhere around 1623 and 1624. The sculpture was marvelously done in exceptional detail, so life like, you actually would think the statue is going to reach out and touch you. I have personally seen some of Bernini’s work and believe it is…

to be an “ordinary person” and look at what evil he created. What we’ve also learned from his book is that it challenges the idea of the “original sin” which is mentioned in the Genesis. He supports free will which gives humans the ability to choose good or evil. Whereas the Genesis mentions evil in a broad sense; referencing the theological contexts such as the root of evil. There is a problem of accounting for evil in a world created by an all-knowing God (Calder). However, many Christians…

is a guarantee. However, those that remain ignorant and decide to never change will suffer eternal pain in hell. Suffering in this world is an opportunity to be saved from endless pain on the day of judgement. One can never say “Bad things happen to good people” or “Where is God?” when someone isn’t punished for their actions. Everyone will receive suffering, either in this life or in the next. It is important to suffer temporary pain in this life for a promise of eternal life and happiness,…

similar laws and standards (Henderson 55). By having the right to live while relying upon the conscience of the mind leads people to gratify the desires of the flesh and immerse themselves in evil conduct. Individuals believe they can distinguish between good and bad as God does; preserving religious doctrines, however, as oppose to people’s self-interests and desires, will establish a framework for moral behavior and…

Robert Louis Stevenson wrote: “In each of us, two natures are at war – the good and the evil. All our lives the fight goes on between them, and one of them must conquer. But in our own hands lies the power to choose – what we want most to be we are.” Good and evil qualities exist in everyone, but life is a balancing act. Each person must spend it discovering who they are and which way their personal scale will tip in the end. George Milton from Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck is just another…

speech was because my friends forced me into going. Despite being forced I ended up having a pretty good time and thought that it was an interesting experience. I don’t know if I would go to another rally because they seem chaotic and hectic but it was still cool to see what happens at this sort of event. One thing that Sanders did very well within his speech, which is also a component of a good speech, was his use of a clear general purpose. The general purpose of a speech can be one of three…
