an uncomfortable truth is better than a comfortable lie. People do not want to live a life that is false‚ phony or somehow an illusion.

“I would rather be a comma than a full stop”‚ Coldplay certainly understands what it means to never give up and to carry on. Magic happens when you choose to carry on and don’t give up.

I have achieved many things that I am proud of‚ but no one really knows

“Better a lie that soothes ‚ than a truth that hurts.” The quote “better a lie that soothes‚ than a truth that hurts” means that it’s better to lie rather than to tell the cold hearted truth. I disagree because if you lie then when the time comes to tell the truth the lies will hurt way more than what it would have been before. Lying only leads to more lying. If you lie once and someone calls you out on that lie then you have to create a bigger lie. You have to adapt to that lie and understand

Philosophy 5/10/13 More Than a Feeling This paper will dispute that love is more of a choice than a feeling according to Fromm’s thesis regarding love.

King presents the audience with smoking topics‚ but behind all the words is an extremely political article. This article demonstrates how conservatives today are slowly shifting core beliefs into liberal views. King’s smoking addiction started at the

‘Cars enslave us rather than liberate us’ opinion essay For the past decades cars have become an indispensable part of our daily life. It is almost impossible for us to imagine an existence without them. Nonetheless‚ in my view they do not only fulfil their positive role of enabling us to reach our destination faster. On the contrary‚ they tend to make our lives unbearable and they seem to be a necessary evil for the majority of society. To begin with‚ it seems to me that it requires a lot of

I agree with the statement Sojourner Truth sees women as stronger than men think they are. I agree with Truth’s statement because men really do think that they are “better” than women. My opinion is that they are just talking just to bring her down. If I was Truth‚ I would have ignored him and any other person because Ii don’t see why they can’t have rights if they basically do everything for their husbands. Just because their husbands fight in wars and go hunting for food doesn’t mean they do “everything”
