One Life to Live is a soap opera broadcasted on the ABC channel on the weekdays. I started to watch this show when I was a sophomore in high school, and when I used to come home from school, my mom would be watching it. That is how I got addicted to it. The story takes place in a town called Llanview. One Life to Live appeals to many viewers because the show keeps the viewers hanging onto the episode’s next scene. The viewers know that if they watch the last scenes of one episode, then, the next
the years in your life that counts, but the life in your years.” Abraham Lincoln. A few days ago, I met up with friends that I haven’t seen in ages. As we shopped and cruised from mall to mall, we reminisced about the good old days, told each other about where we were and what we’re planning to do with life. That day, I realized how much I have accomplished in life, and how much more I aspire to do in the following years. At age nineteen, though the number of years in my life is not too great
Drama Queens Present In the past fifty years, the television-viewing world has experienced drama, romance, and attraction through the eyes of soap opera writers, creators, producers, and actors. Soap operas, also known as daytime dramas have been around and the talk of the town for more than half a decade.

intellectual life. It has brought me to ponder great questions that have been part of human history and the human condition. Examples of such questions include, “Does the human soul exist beyond our bodies,” “Does God exist,” “What is knowledge,” “What kind of world do we live in?” But the question from this course that I take to be the most important, as it dictates how we approach questions such as those, and is supremely relevant to everyday life, is “How should one live their life?” This question
One Ought to Live a Good Life To live a good life one must be seeded in faith, truth, and self-giving love for the good of others. To be successful in this good life, we must be in a friendship with God, first and foremost. Without knowing God, truth will allude us and we will not be able to foster good, self-giving, and healthy relationships toward one another. God gave us intellect and the power of reasoning to be able to tell truth from lies, good from bad, and justice from injustice. Through
Final Exam #1 When a person or a loved one passes it is natural to wonder whether or not he or she lived a happy and fulfilling life.

only life worth living is the examined life. The examined life is caring for the soul by questioning and examining beliefs to obtain the most understanding. He argues that if he did not live an examined life he would be disobeying his God which is the wrong thing to do. Socrates also points out that he examines people who think they know something when they really don’t, thus showing wisdom is worth nothing.

realized was that when one is lying on their deathbed, because the only thing guaranteed in life is death, they will not think, “oh what a lovely car I drove” but rather, “I remember when I went on my first road trip with my friends.” As mentioned in “Tuesdays With Morrie” by Mitch Albom, Morrie emphasizes the idea, “once you learn how to die, you learn how to live,” meaning, remembering that one day we will all depart from this world, one will realize what it truly means to live.

the meaning of life for ages, or more so how to live life to the fullest.

that the unexamined life is one that is not worth living. Socrates seems to make a valid statement here in that life can only be a real living experience if you examine your own life. There is a huge significance and a deep underlying meaning of his quote that “the unexamined life is not worth living.” In finding the significance of his quote it must be known the difference between the unexamined life and the examined one as well as the importance behind living an examined life.
