Socrates Argument Essay

Everything people do has a goal. The goal is to be happy in the end of every goal that is set. Not all goals in the end are ended with happiness but that is the ultimate goal to achieve happiness. Happiness is considered reaching ones full potential and being happy in all aspects of someone’s life. There are three lives to live in Aristotle’s philosophy and they are Life of gratification, Life of political activity, and Life on
