When you were a kid, you used to do things without thinking about it 's outcome. You just did something because you felt like doing it, isn 't it? You used to walk anywhere you wish to, you used to run wherever you wish to, you used to smile whenever you wish to, you used to do numerous things without any specific reason.

Neither you thought about the outcome before doing all themasti in school nor you thought before trying any new game. You wanted to do it, hence you did it. That was sheer innocence!
But, as we grew up, we are used to attach a reason to everything we do. We only laugh when there 's a reason, we only cry when there 's a reason. Did you ever give it a thought that 'reasoning ' has become an integral part of our life? Whenever we see someone very happy our first reaction is "Kya baat hai.. Aj bada khush h.. Kya hua?"

Everyone has a reason. One may not know exactly why they are on this earth, but there is a reason for everyone. No one starts off knowing their importance for life, and everyone finds out at different times.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks is a scientific biography written by Rebecca Skloot. I usually do not find myself reading this specific type of genre, but I found myself to really enjoy this book. When I first looked at the cover, I was not expecting to learn about a woman that has changed medical research forever. The famous picture of Henrietta with her hands on her hips made her look like an average woman that may have lived to be an old age. The first chapter confirmed that my assumption was incorrect and that this book consisted of the journey of an important woman that has allowed the medical field to achieve its accomplishments.

Life is a very precious thing to have. Every person begins his or her life new, innocent, and curious. As people grow up, they gain a lot of experiences and knowledge, which may or may not be useful to them when they reach early adulthood and start living in the “real world.” Whether it be good or bad, these experiences help tell the story, more specifically the life, of an individual. At one point in every person’s life, there comes a time for reminiscence of these experiences, but why do we have these experiences in the first place?

For hundreds of years philosophers have assigned knowledge the supreme role and have called knowledge the ultimate purpose and meaning of human life. Aristotle, the famous Greek philosopher said “theoretical wisdom, that is, knowledge of the first principles and of what follows from them, is by nature our purpose and is the ultimate thing for the sake of which we have come to be. This is the highest form of knowledge since it is knowledge with grounding of the highest things. Through this kind of knowledge one not only knows what follows from the first principles, but also possesses truth about the first principles.” Bertrand Arthur William Russell (1872–1970) was a British philosopher, logician, essayist and social critic best known for his work in mathematical logic and analytic philosophy.

Our rationality and reason give us the ability to distinguish between good and bad, just and unjust, and to assess whether or not we are good people. It also gives us the capability to understand and perform higher intellectual activities. The three alternatives can also be said to be split into 2 categories, the rational part of the soul and the non-rational part of the soul. The life of growth and perception falls
"Most of our general feelings - every sort of restraint, pleasure, tension, explosion in the play and counter play of our general feelings, …. likewise, and especially the condition of the nervus sympathicus excite our cause creating drive: we want to have a reason for feeling as we do." (Nietzsche, 228). People are afraid of all the unknown causes of things in the world and therefore come up with a reason as to why something happened the way it did. We tend to do this because it causes less stress and makes us feel more comfortable with the unknown. "
That is our choice the way we live our temporary life and the way we make it meaningful for ourselves What is the meaning of life? Why we exist here? What are we living for? These questions are asked, discussed and argued by many philosophers around the world to look for a significance of people’s living or existence in general.
Being moral in a growing and continually changing world is no easy task, especially when there is no specific rules or guidelines to follow. If one were to ask specifically what is morality, Appiah would say that living a moral life is living an “eudaimonia,”(Aristotle) or the idea of highest good, normally translated into “happiness,” or “flourishing” (402). Living a life to the highest good is a very vague answer, considering everyone’s definition of good is different, and everyone has a different view of happiness. These opinions are so diverse because morality is not just one idea, but a mix of ideas that make up each person’s moral values. In these difference in morals, there is bound for someone getting hurt in some way, either physically, emotionally, or even spiritually.
