In “Happy Talk” Oscar Hammerstein writes, “I don’t believe anyone can enjoy living in this world unless he can accept its imperfection. He must know and admit that he is imperfect, that all other mortals are imperfect, that it is childish to allow these imperfections to destroy all his hope and all his desire to live” (par. 5). Bad things happen to good people, to think otherwise would be a mistake. Without the understanding that the world is not a perfect place, it becomes near impossible to deal with the negative and preserver.
There are however cracks in the perceived happiness of this seemingly perfect society. Helmholtz, Bernard, and Lenina are examples of the cracks in what was a seemingly perfect society. Helmholtz was a model example of his caste. Yet, he felt he had a job that was empty and meaningless. He wanted to start writing to do something more significant.
11-24) I believe that Hesiod is saying that healthy competition is good behavior for the ideal person; it prevents idleness and is a path to attaining wealth which prevents poverty According to Hesiod an ideal person should be ashamed of poverty. In Works and Days he criticizes and describes idleness as shameful. He portrays the shame of poverty stricken people from idleness by writing Both gods and men are angry with a man who lives idle, for in nature he is like the stingless drones who waste the labour of the bees, eating without working; but let it be your care to order your work properly, that in the right season your barns may be full of victual.
In Teirsias’s mind he would probably say they were all good people because when they did something wrong they tried to fix it. I don’t see it that way and that’s just me people see things different. You can chose whether to think they are good or bad
* Discuss the character psychology of Charles Foster Kane as a case of narcissistic personality. Narcissism can be defined as excessive self loving or vanity. This normally comes from people with low self esteem, a terrible ego, or a traumatizing childhood. These are only a few events that cause one to love them more than they should. They feel the need to because no one else will.
O father, why must I, your only son Haemon suffer from your own petty and selfish decision. Antigone should not die. Nor should she be punished for her selfless act of kindness. Instead she should be praised and honored. If you continue with this heinous act you will have the entire town in revolt.
The observation from “So what do you have to do to find happiness” by Dorothy Wade asserts that negative thinking is deeply ingrained in the human psyche while they are happy. Happiness will come and go, a mere by-product of fleeting circumstances. No one can be happy forever, nor can achieve the best level of joy. Wishes will not be the same as expectations. Happiness is short and fleeting human condition.
Picture a world of much pain and suffering;Were only death can bring happiness, Were after life is the only possible escape for a peasent's social class. Place This image clearly in your mind, now imagine that this afterlife is guaranteed .A so called war; will redeem you in gods eyes for any misconsumptions he may have of you and without no doubt allow you access into his kingdom in heaven. On your crusade to recapture the holy land. You see new things but nothing will amaze you more then what your eyes come across at the end of your journey. Your used to a wretched life style, tasteless food, hard labor from sun up to sun down.
This rational, or to some irrational, fear of a falling nation leads to desperate hopes to find happiness, and for others, an escape to peace. Political correctness and a desperate attempt to quiet “mean jokes” or “bad language” could be seen as some people attempting to make things better, but in reality, essentially make things worse. Not all people can be pleased at all times; some will be unhappy, and that’s a sad truth of life many people do not
The creation of the monster, and the subsequent disasters that take place, all stem from Victors lack of sensibility. Blinded by his personal quest to create unnatural life, he does not consider that anything negative could arise from his experiments. After experiencing these negative effects he states: “Great God! If for one instant I had thought what might be the hellish intention of my fiendish adversary, I would rather have banished myself forever from my native country and wandered a friendless outcast over the earth than have consented to this miserable marriage” (Shelley 174). Victor feels that if he would have thought about the consequences of his creation, he would have not participated in the creation of the creature.
