When we are in need of help, we hope for others to come to our aid, but when we are in a stable place in our lives it is easy to avoid helping others. If more people felt empathetic daily, perhaps the world would not be as cruel of a place. It is easy to believe we make our own fate in this world when you have everything you need to survive. However, some people do not have these luxuries, and it takes a fair amount of empathy to realize

In other words, the good life means to me when life looks like a blessing than a burden. This essay aims to provide more than one answers about what makes people live a good life mean. Human beings, since their apparition is often misleading, what it is really mean a good life. We have been seen on the television or magazines that having a good life means being rich or famous when many of them, in reality, are miserable by a problem that wouldn’t affect ordinary people. Personally, I believe that there are many factors that should be considered when it comes to a good life.

Personally, I believe that congenial work, with excitement and change, would do me some good” (Stetson 648) The narrator feels held back from work and everything in general. She feels doubted upon because of what she believes is right for her. She does everything she is told by everyone else. The narrator is becoming iller from not doing the things that get her mind off of everything.

Everyone has a purpose and a different role to play in life each day. It might not be what they have wanted, but it is better than nothing. Other men and women might have more potential than others, but that does not mean you are not important. Not everyone is going to be the same, because if everyone was, the whole world would be the same and it would get boring and it would be less exciting. Men and women have so much potential in doing anything they want, and they should not waste the opportunity.

Life is not predestined. Life is based upon the choices we make, who we interact with, and how we react to things. It is never too late to redirect our lives onto the right path, the hardest part is admitting when you’re

We have to earn our place in this world by being us and not question others. Obtaining goals and having a promotion in work won’t make you happy. Yes, it will help for a “better life” in this world of consumerism, but your soul would be empty. Focus on yourself, because others won’t and just keep moving forward in

Regardless of the determination one may have to be kind-hearted or considerate without an ulterior motive, a small hint of guilt will always lurk in the light of goodness. Whether it is helping out the less fortunate because one is ashamed of their privileges or doing a small deed for another to boost one’s own idea of themself, we all have a desire inside of us to better ourselves in any way possible. It is when we take action to better ourselves by helping others and bettering their lives that true goodness blossoms. It is impossible to have goodness out of the purity of one’s heart, but if goodness can come from guilt, is that terrible? The reason Amir returned to Afghanistan was to rid himself of the guilt, but nevertheless, he saved Sohrab.

What is wrong with the other ways of responding? One example of responding to conflict is through positivity. But doing so won’t really help or be a good enough response. For example a positive quote from Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl says, “despite everything, I believe people are really good in heart”.

I also chose honesty, but again we both have different definitions. My definition of honesty is admitting to your mistake and truly wanting to make it right by telling the truth. My biggest pet peeve is when somebody cheats, it isn’t fun for anybody else and they aren’t being trustworthy. As soon as I meet someone I trust them until they do something to take that trust away. Each time somebody is not honest, I lose respect for them, and I don’t trust them.

Robert talks about happiness and how everyone has their own kind; we cannot judge other people on what they find happiness in. Some people may find they are happier with things you may find sad and vice versa. Find happiness is different for everyone you may find it earlier in life or you may find it later, you have to be willing to go through some hard stuff to so you 're able to

Humans, as a species in general, tend to blame people for their own wrong doings. For example, when a lamp breaks, they blame the cat, or their younger sister, even though the cat had nothing to do with it. It goes the same for Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet’s death is caused by flaw because they were not communicative, made selfish decisions and only thought about themselves, and did not think before they acted and made hasty, rash decisions.     First, Romeo and Juliet were not communicative.

Looking around a highschool classroom and studying the faces of the students. Wondering about the choices they have made, universal choices that will permanently affect them and their future, like ripples on the water of a usually still lake. Contemplating where they would be if previous decisions had been decided in a different manner, curious of where and who they would be. The decisions that they have previously made will continue to ripple and affect their lives. It truthfully really leaves a person to wonder, why humans are unable to base decisions off of other people’s mistakes whether fictional or real.
