Aristole definition of happiness

Aristotle says “Happiness depends on ourselves.” I agree with this statement because we cannot depend on someone or something to make us happy. We must find peace with ourselves to enjoy life. Aristotle was convinced that a genuinely happy life required the fulfillment of a broad range of conditions, including physical as well as mental well-being.

Pray for The Philippines

It is so sad what happened to the people pf the Philippines. To wake up one day and everything you have is gone and have family members missing or have died, is such a tragedy. Let us all pray for them and donate anyway we possibly can.

The good life

Nowadays the good life is viewed as having money, houses, cars, success and power.

In a religious aspect they see having a good life as having a peace of mind, love, and humanity.

 

The Bhagavad Gita - They believe that the ultimate reward for doing one’s duty is transcending ordinary, meaning when they die they get to be with Brahman.

In the east they believe that on hard work pays off. They believe in having a good wife, good fortune and mannerly children.

Aristotle

Aristotle was born circa 384 B.C. in Stagira, Greece. When he turned 17, he enrolled in Plato’s Academy. In 338, he began tutoring Alexander the Great. In 335, Aristotle founded his own school, the Lyceum, in Athens, where he spent most of the rest of his life studying, teaching and writing. Aristotle died in 322 B.C., after he left Athens and fled to Chalcis.

The evolution of marriage

         The are many differences between the religious stories and the new age with regards to romance and marriage. In the old age marriages where more passionate and sacred. They did not believe in divorce and they did not settle for anyone. Nowadays in the modern society marriage is not as sacred and people are settling for things other than love, like money. Back in the bible lovers were not able to "shack" up.
         It was forbidden and now people do it all the time. We have arrived to a point where marriages are not a necessity. Men are using the saying " why buy the cow when you can get the milk free" because women are not putting there foot down and they are just allowing men to use them. In my opinion I still believe that we should be married before we have children or live with someone. I think relationships last longer when its that way because your not rushing into it.

Creating songs from world literature poems

Creating songs out of world literature poems are exciting. You have to use your imaginary skills to use the words of the poem and bring life to them. In class our group chose The Voice and I think it was perfect since I am more of a musical person. I look forward to seeing the other presentation and how everything will be portrayed.
