Fallacies in my Life The first of the three fallacies that I have had happen to me was the appeal to fear fallacy. It started when I was barely four years old and I had to go live with my grandmother. My grandmother was a strict Christian woman that felt that life should be lived by the way the bible says to live. So she would have me pray each night before I go to bed and if I would forget to pray one night she would tell me that God will not help me and Satan will send his demons to visit me while I sleep. Ever since then I make sure I pray every night before I went to bed. The second of the three fallacies that has happen to me was the appeal to pity fallacy. This happened a lot growing up, but when I decided to move to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is when she started to have a pity party. She would say, “that I must have not loved her to leave her”, “why do you want to leave me” and “What if something were to happen to me and you are ten hours away from me.” I told her I have my own life to live and it was time for me to leave the nest. So, my mother cried for almost a week because I left. The last of the fallacies that I have had to endure was the arguments from envy. It all started when I got married to my wife. I had a friend that got jealous, because I got a well-educated partner with good looks, so he would get mad and he go around and tell everybody that I will never make it in life and that I never finish what I start. He would tell people that she was married to the wrong man and that he was a better worker and better lover than I would ever be. Eventually he found out that she was not with me for looks but for my personality. It took him awhile before he would tell me that he envied me for what I got and who I am married
