Nothing Gold Can Stay The poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” written by Robert Frost tells the story of nature‚ specifically leaves turning green and then turning old. This poem is an allegory‚ not only does nature get old but people get old. When people are young they can be described as green or gold. In the poem‚ youth lasts only one hour. The moral of the poem is to stay young as long as you can. My personal interpretation of the poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” is that absolutely nothing can last

DESCARTES’ GOD Do we need a watchmaker god or the Christian God and how is it related to living a good life?

But there are three main distinctions. There are three flaws that easily show the difference between the mythological gods and perfect God‚ Adultery‚ peace and war‚ and the appearance of the human race.
