Answering Misty's question abuout happiness

Misty question is if can people ever be truly content? I personally dont think that people could ever be truly happy because there is always something that is going to be missing. For example a rich person that everything material that a normal person would like but they may be missing love, health, or something else. The human been is always missing something in life, nobody is complety happy because if they were life would not make sense. As human been we always need something to motivate us to do better things and to be a better person, and if we have everything this motivation would not exist. I think that God made our life that way so anybody would be complety happy in this life because the Bible says that the complety happiness is in heaven when we die. I think that life is made up of happy moments but not happiness forever, and all of this is the puporse of God for us to look for him and to know that there is a perfect place to live where we wont need anything and a place where we are always going to be happy in the presence of God, that place is heaven.
Do you think that happiness is forever?

What is wrong is Communism?

Communist was meant to everyone to have the same and earn the same amount of money, this mean that everybody was meant to have the same amount of money. Anybody were supposed to be rich or poor. This is a real problem because everybody would be in their house doing nothing because even if they dont work they were going to received the same amount of money that everybody else. And even if they had a job they would not have any motion to do better because no matter what they do they were going to received the same amount of money. Another thing that is wrong with communism is that the government controled anything of the people in the state.

Do you think that communism will work now?

I am answering Julia's questions about what will make me that most happy? i think that what will make me the most happy will be heath, my family, and my college career. Health because if i am healthy i will be able to do everything that i want to do for my future. I will be able to reach all my dreams and goals. My family because if i have my family everything is going to be ok, and if i have my family in my life i dont need anything but health. My college career because i would be able to help immigrant people because i want to be an immigrant lawyer. I would be able to able to give immigrants there legal papers and they will be able to work freely and live freely without worrying about getting cut by the police. That is what will make me happy the rest of my life.

Do you think that every person is this world is happy?

What is Marx's analysis of religion?

Karl Marx's analysis of religion is that he did not believe in the normal religion, he wanted to make his own theory of religion. He thought that religion must be abolished because it was a threat to human progress. He believed that religion stop the progress of humans because they would focus themselves in God and not the society. Karl Marx said, "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the sentimen of a heartless world, and soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people". He thought that if people oppressed their insight creature of human nature they wont be able to think in a more thoughtfull way, human would put their beliefs first and not the way they really think about something. Human would do first what they think is right and not what their insight would tell them to do.

Do you agree with Marx's analysis of religion?

This is a response to Karla's question about if i think that liberty are the chains of our freedom. I dont think that our liberty is the chains of our liberty because liberty and freedom go hand by hand. Our chains in our society even though we are "free" are the rules and the poperty ownership that we have today in our society. We have chains because other people have more than other people, and because we live in a society that we own things in order to be more rich or to have something that belong to us.




How can we make a better society?

Are human beens selfish?

Humans are selfish egoist, according to Hobbes. Humans are selfish because they almost all that time they just think about themselves. If a person is going to do something for you, they always think what they are going to get back out of it. The human nature theory of Hobbes says that although we were made in the image of God, we sinned and 'all our righteousness is like filthy rags'. We deserve God's wrath' or if one does not believe in God, we do not deserve an idylic life but, at best, to be alone by others. A person can be egoist if that person is seeing that someone is harm, if you are not feeling anything or no caring for that person, you are only think of yourself and not thinking about the other person feelings, that is beenn egoist and many humans are.

What you can do to be happy and a good person?

According to Aristole we will be able to build a Happiness Machine, where this machine may take us to a perfect life, we wont even know if it is reality or illusion and we will be happy the rest of our life. But there is a failure with this Happiness Machine, what would happen if people just wake up from the Happiness Machine and realize that everything was a lie? Well people would be really sad and disappoint becuase everything they thought it was a lie and that anything of that was reality. In the another hang you can be a good person by doing what a good person does, according to Aristotle, and you will reconize a good person once you see it. I think that human are born with the ability to reconize when something is good or bad, that why you can reconize a good person when we see what is that person doing, and we will be able to say if his or her actions are good or bad.

Would the world be dull if all we based our decisions off of was logic?

As human we tend to fall our hearts instead of our logic, but i think that it is better to use our logic instead of our feeling sometimes. Sometimes when humans use their logic things at the endo come out in a better way, when humans use their logic they think about the consequences of what is going to happen if they make that decission or not. But if humans use their feelings and follow their heart all the time maybe things are not going to have a really good outcome because we do not think about consequences when we think with our hearts. I do not think that is dull to use our logic when is come to think about things about our future and about our lifes.




Is it better to follow our hearts or our logic?
