Perfect aspect

Though humans have been attempting to achieve the utopian ideal, they have been failing miserably. Today’s world does not resemble a utopia because humans are still subject to inevitable negative aspects of life. Furthermore, increases in dangerous weaponry and technology have allowed the rise of institutions that hinder the progress towards utopia. These groups have put society in a vulnerable position that ends in pain and suffering; effects that are not seen in utopian societies. Possibly…

communal associations. In the community, there are three types of friendship, with the highest form being a perfect friendship. Friends are crucial for humans to flourish, but perfect friendships are rare as Aristotle describes it as a “Friendship of men who are good, and alike in virtue; for these wish well alike to each other… and they are good in themselves.” (Nic.8.3.1156b7-9).

open present after present. This is the idea of a perfect Christmas. The soundscape uses only the sounds of Christmas to communicate what…

arguments for this include that God could prevent evil actions and preserve human freedom of will if he wanted, God could maintain a world without evil by continual divine intervention, the existence of evil proves it is logically impossible for a Perfect Being to exist, and the existence of evil proves we do not need God to find meaning and purpose in life. These can be disproven from the theistic viewpoint. When broken down, the atheistic claim that because evil exists God is not real is…

much to say except to ask questions. “Who is Felix Gonzales Torres?”, “What do the clocks represent?”, and “What aspect of time is this artist trying to convey?”. All of these questions yet no real answers without a little bit of digging. Given the title “Perfect Lovers” I immediately assumed that the two clocks could possibly represent two individuals in a romantic relationship. The aspect of time however, was still a mystery. Gonzales-Torres was a “Cuban-American sculptor” , working often in…

the odyssey written by homer, was undoubtedly an "epic hero" All throughout the odyssey, Odysseus heavy handedly went down a check list of what it means to bean epic hero. For example, in the scene of the sirens, he perfectly demonstrates two key aspects of being an ancient Greek epic hero. When Odysseus was near arriving the sirens he commanded his crew bound him to the mast of the ships sail (while they put beeswax in their ears) and keep rowing ignoring his cries for help. They followed…

We do not live in a perfect world: failure is part of reality. I know this, yet I still strive for perfection in all aspects of life. Reaching perfection is a lifeline in times of chaos, but is also a catalyst for chaos in times of sanity. I thrive off of completing goals, and I will go to great lengths to ensure that everything I do is beyond satisfactory. This sometimes leads me to stress over things that are insignificant and allow simple tasks to consume all of my time. Perfectionists are…

There are extreme forms of perfectionists, but the reading really helped me to understand how you don’t have to see yourself as a perfectionist to be one. There are different aspects to being a perfectionist, it infects your life starting from one section. But perfectionists don’t stop with the image they put out there, it comes down to their emotional and even physical health as a result of what they put on themselves. Because…
