St Paul’s letter to the Romans provides a clear pathway for the lives of catholics today.

His letter expresses themes such as “serving one another”, “fighting evil with good” and “thinking with sober judgement.” Paul’s letter is still relevant to the life's of catholics today because there are many people who need a helping hand.

Utilitarianism is an effort to provide an answer to the ethical question: “What should a man to do?” How should he act to others? Its answer is that he ought to do good or not do bad. Happiness is obtained from the feeling of doing good to others. But why then are so many altruistic people so miserably depressed? Let's take Mother Theresa for example. She dedicate her life's work…
