He makes the realization that the way he explains his own findings are in fact a violation of those findings stating, “My propositions…

And to be good means to be desirable. For example, a good husband is a man who has achieved perfection in terms of the duties he ought to perform towards his wife by virtue of being married to her. If the good thing is able to manifest its desirability, it follows that the good thing should also necessarily exist. Aquinas argues…

The human spirt is simply too intertwined with others and with the world to limit its itself. However, at a specific moment people can take up an identity.

George R.R. Martin once said, “Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.” I was never asked who I wanted to be or if I wanted to be a different person; my identity was given to me.
