What is your passion and purpose in life? Something which never fills you? Something you obsolete to do when you are not interested or get bored doing other things quickly. Pursuing your passion sounds to me like you are discovering a way to somehow pass your 60-80 years of lifespan. We are all born and we will all die. That 's just a fact, right? Today you have got these 60-80 years, shouldn’t we be enjoying it instead than planning for the years ahead and for the next generation. What if we live with death as the fact of life, does that change anything?
I have answered a bunch of things in my life, a lot of things of this age. But what we should do logically, should we sit alone and think, should we do meditation, should we do sex, should

Defining if they have done something right or wrong, but at the end of the day you will find someone who will justify your actions as well and someone who justify your actions as bad. It is all relative nothing is good or bad, that is the reason why it is written in geeta that you are sole person who knows if you are doing bad, "karma se bhav pradhan hota hai, ache motive se agar aap galat kaam bhi karoge toh who galat nahi hota", so basically if you feel guilty of something or feel that you are doing bad then you are doing bad and if you feel that was the right thing to do nobody can send you to hell. It pretty much proves there is no hell as there are no such criteria for hell and heaven. If killing is criteria for heaven/hell then all the nonvegetarians should go to hell. And if we believe that every vegetable had a life at some spot in time, so basically eventually every person is voting out someone. Today comes another thing, if you are killing ruthlessly not for a purpose, then it is a heinous crime and you will belong to hell and if you are killing for eating it is not a crime at all. If you defeat a specific strain of animal it will transmit you to hell and if you kill others you will be spared. Dude, come on, this is a god damn hypocrite society, all religions are the hypocrite. I myself can 't say for certain if there is a deity or not, but for sure he does not care about the hell or the heaven because if there was any hell then everybody should pass to the
Americans are living too long. They are trying to prolong life and delay death. One such person, Ezekiel Emanuel wrote "Why I Hope to Die at 75," and he argues that living too long is a loss (1). He is stating that he does not like this trend. Emanuel does not hope to extend his life as long as possible.
Death is something that will eventually happen to everyone, but there are so many different ways of people that deal with death around them. There are some people who don’t deal with death well, so they become mentally and emotionally unstable for their entire life. On the other hand, there are people who accept death for what it is and take the necessary steps to become more tolerant to it. In Being Mortal, by Atul Gawande, he speaks about the various aspects (such as the cost of taking care of elderly people) that surround death that people often neglect. Death can be a very taxing area of discussion, but once people accept its cruel nature they can overcome the burden it brings.
Capital Punishment Although, many may like to think otherwise, the line between good and evil is one that is incalculably thin, and one which is walked on every day. Thus, it is very simple for someone once deemed as a “good” person, to become evil. The worst part–often people are unaware that they have even crossed that line. If you are someone who believes and has voted for the death penalty, you no longer tread through the thin line, but rather stand bold faced in the side of evil.
American political leader Anna Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” There are some people that live their lives happily everyday while there are some that are living in bitterness. Life is a cycle that everyone experiences from childhood to adolescence to adulthood and finally ends with death. Some may believe that maybe if a human being is no longer content with life anymore, then he or she might as well no longer be alive. The issue of euthanasia has been one of the most discussed ethical situations among healthcare workers and patients.
Death may be considered an ending to life as we know it, a cessation of our consciousness. or a point in time when we stop sustaining ourselves with our central life processes. Death carries a sense of foreboding and reminds us to be constantly aware of our mortality. It is popularly conceived as the most terrifying of all ills. But what is the source of this dread?
Everyone’s answer to this question is more than likely going to be very diverse. Do people embrace death and live every moment to the fullest until it is their time to go? One man, Dudley Clendinen, a writer for the New York Times, did just that. His article is about his intentions to end his own life at the young age of 66 rather than having his daughter and friends watch him die a laborious and excruciating death. The context of his article is to inform his readers of why he would rather die with some dignity rather than being hooked up to machines and letting his loved ones watch him deteriorate slowly.
With the undeniable truth, everyone must age and grow older. Although this is a natural process of life, not everyone is accepting of this. At this age, being an older adult you face difficulties such as aging, sexuality, relationship dynamics and having to face reality that you are not in your prime as you once were. Heart attacks, strokes, and other ailments are examples of this. However, just as there younger counterparts they still able to do somethings they were able to do in their earlier stages.
In Of Our Spiritual Strivings, the main concept that WEB DuBois had to share were the dangers of double-consciousness and how the idea that a Veil exists between Caucasians and African Americans. He came to realize this when he was at school and they were passing around post cards and one of the children had refused to give him a card because of his skin color. He then realized at that moment that there was a veil between the Caucasians and African Americans. I did find it interesting that he hadn’t had the desire to attempt to remove the veil. DuBois’ desire was for African Americans to hopefully stay close to their roots but also at the same time without integrating into the white culture.
Living in hope, with our beliefs, and with little expectation of others is the way forward. My parents, simple and honest human beings, have high expectations of me, wishing that I too, like them, grew up to be an honorable person. Martin Luther King’s life inspires the determined and I agree that to give up on life or stop is deplorable. Irrespective of the hurdles, to push ahead with all one’s might is the only way to succeed. Living this philosophy, my father, a genuine rags to riches story, altered my life, leading by example and encouraging me to follow the path of righteousness.

The Divine Command Theory The Divine Command Theory is an ethical theory that states that God decides what is morally right and what is morally wrong. The theory argues that to be morally good one must do what God says and abstain from doing what God forbids. The question that is going to be discussed in this essay is if The Divine Command Theory provides an acceptable account of what makes an action morally right and others morally wrong.
Everything in the world can change or collapse in an instant, but the one thing that will always hold constant is that at some point everyone will physically die. The best way to cope with that fact and transcend the empirical thinking is to just laugh. Laughter makes the scary things such as death seem less. It allows for instances where people can forget about the inevitable and focus on what is in front of
What is the value of life? To me the value of life is cherishing every moment that comes to me. To make sure with every experience to take it to heart and learn some kind of lesson out of it. life is like a mountain, at certain points throughout the climb it is going to be really tough mentally and emotionally. Other times it’s going to be so easy fun and smoothe until… one hits that bump in the road again.
How does someone know if they are truly happy? Much of society have come to associate happiness with the pursuits of personal pleasures or that which makes us “feels good”. When we feel good we display positive expression of emotions such as joy, laughter, kindness and fewer negative emotions such as anger, hate, and sadness. To some people our happiness is already determined through our genes. Some people seek happiness through money and material possessions.
Values are principles that people hold important to them in life. As I gotten older my values have changed based on my experience, knowledge, and goals. Since I am in college and the field of social work forced me to open my eyes to different things and ideas I would 've never thought of. Five values that are important to me while I am on this journey of becoming a social worker is my education, positive energy, not judging people based on their past, a reflect and meditate on my life, and be a generous to other.
