You Only Live Twice

Traffic In Jakarta Have you ever imagined being stuck in traffic worse than New York? If you haven’t, then you’ve never been to Jakarta. The capital city of Indonesia that is home to roughly ten million people has to endure in such distress in their daily commute that has to travel twice less of an average speed in New York said Greenfield. This traffic is greatly caused by the impacted population that the city has to accommodate, the lack of public transportation and the slow-growth of roads…

God’s existence through reason alone, therefore one should live life as if God does exist, and if he does indeed exist then we have gained heaven. If god doesn’t exist, then we have lost nothing. Although let’s just say god does exist, but we live as he doesn’t exist, then we have gained hell and punishment and lost heaven and bliss. Clearly after weighting the options, the most rational idea to follow is to live as if god does exist, as it only has positive outcomes and no disadvantages. In…

After hours of just sitting there, crying, she decided to get up and tell her mom. She walked into the kitchen, her eyes red and puffy, sniffling from crying all day. Her mom turned…

cost? Cloning pets might cost as much as $100,000. Even with all that money you still don’t have a 100% chance of getting your pet back. Instead of cloning the pet you could always stick with taxidermy which is a lot less and you get to keep your pet, it’s also a lot less controversial. Pet owners pay a lot for the needs of animals and getting it taxidermied is a good way to save money. Even if you get your pet back, you still won’t have your pet back. A lot of people don’t think this is the…

skin. I do not understand why it is so difficult to be able to live in unity with fellow humans regardless of color, race, beliefs, or gender. As a white male, I can’t say that I faced the kind of diversity that Coates has been taking about, but I try to put myself in his position and image how I would feel. Some examples that Coates gives on how the black body is treated differently is when he says, “I wish to live, but how do I live free in this black body” (12). I think that Coates is…
