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. It all started in radio in the earlier part of the 1900s, then the excitement moved to television. The first television soap opera was “Guiding Light” and it began airing on radio stations

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
During one’s life journey, here on earth, one is forced to live and deal with their internal and external conflicts. Such conflicts forces one to live a dismal lifestyle, until one gets the opportunity to free themselves from such lifestyle. In The Glass Menagerie, Williams portrays the protagonist Tom Wingfield as a miserable human being who lives life for the sake of living. Throughout the course of this paper, readers will get the opportunity to learn that Tom’s sister, Laura Wingfield and his
Sisyphus, Albert Camus makes quite interesting and meaningful claims about the characteristics that he thinks make up life. He uses the notion of absurdity to explain this, which is what he states as the meaninglessness, repetitive, and purpose-lacking qualities that compose life. In addition to this, he also discusses various ways in which an individual lives their day-to-day life in contrast with how they should change the way they do so in order to have a truly liberated lifestyle. This is accomplished
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. While one can make their own judgments and decide for oneself, I believe that there are a few aspects that are absolutely necessary to live a good life. While these assumptions beg for an answer to the definition of ‘happy’ and ‘good,’ our purposes in this paper are more generalized and I will not go into detail of their meanings. I will assume that our audience has
point of view, we say life is t short to live to the full if we are enjoying our life and still have millions of things we want to do but know we can’t because life’s just too short. But for someone who is not at all enjoying life or whatever he/she is doing, one is too afraid to live life to the full, life is too long. For such people, life could have been more fun had it been shorter. Interestingly, it seems they don’t know that life is until you live, when u don’t live u live like a breathing corpse
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. In conclusion Socrates makes it evident that the examined life is being able to live life
purpose in our personal lives. To what extend do you agree with this statement?” To effectively answer that question, we must first differentiate between meaning and purpose in life and define knowledge. Firstly, knowledge is justified true belief (Organization, 2013). The meaning of life can be defined as the reason for the creation of one’s life, whereas the purpose of life can be defined as an individual’s mission during their life. One’s purpose and meaning in life may be mainly based on
Living Life in American Samoa There are many different people living in this world with different culture diversity, and ways of making a living.

First of all, living life in American Samoa is easier then any other countries as far as I know. In American Samoa we get food free because the Samoans mainly live off the land. There
two different things, but if you live now and listen to Queen you might believe that pain and pleasure are not completely different things. One of the major philosophers that was in the "Three Classical Theories..." article was Epicurus. Epicurus' theory or view was called Hedonism, which is the belief that pleasure is the sole good. He did not agree with Plato's statement that said, "Pleasure must be in some way an ingredient of happiness." For much of his life Epicurus lived solely on bread
Tupac Shakur once said that “During your life, never stop dreaming. No one can take away your dreams”. The challenge of figuring out what the meaning of life is difficult. We often ask ourselves who, what, when and why are we here. These questions are ones we will always wonder. The question is how we translate this into actual terms. A person’s lifetime is fulfilled with self-examination. The meaning of life often reflects back to Jesus Christ and what he has done. Some humans often wonder what
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. Another pointer that

However, if one asked a Cenobite, a monk that lives a monastic life, their answer compared to a secular Christian would be the polar opposite. Nevertheless, a secular and monastic Christian can both obtain entrance into Heaven in various ways. I do not believe that one is easier to facilitate than the other. Neither a secular or monastic Christian life is simple; both take effort, dedication, and time. In John 3:26 it reads “for God
newborn infants life because they will be unable to live a normal life due to severe handicaps, is a very controversial issue in our country. It is debatable weather a disabled infant's life is worth living, even if they will not be able to live the average lifestyle. Should newborn babies with severe disabilities live or die? A handicap individual is defined as "any person who has a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more of such person's major life activities," (Altun
What is the meaning of life? An eternal question that remains unanswered, yet has infinite answers. The meaning of a person’s life can be interpreted differently by everyone. Only the person themselves can give their lives meaning. Gwendolyn Brooks was a black poet of the 20th century. Her poems highlighted the problems of poverty and discrimination. Her poems glance at the perspective of life through the eyes of many different people, each with different meanings in their lives. Her efforts allowed
