If you are in a position of power, you are happy…
I believe that this statement is partially true, but partially false. In a way being in a position of power can bring happiness, but power alone can not bring happiness to a person. In society today, the standards for people that are considered more powerful are set very high and it can be very stressful and hard to meet those standards. This kind of stress in a person can never bring happiness. On the other hand, having money and power and being considered in a position in power can bring happiness because of how well one is doing in there lives and how many things the powerful person has. In reality, the one with less power lives a happier, laid back life.
Who we are--our essential character and temperament--is fixed and unchangeable…
This statement has always been a question to me. Can who a person is really change? I believe that if a person goes through something tragic, a person can partly change but not fully. Something traumatic in a persons life could change a persons perspective and look on certain types of things. I also believe that a person can never really change his/her character.

Hey Audrey,
ReplyDeleteI've often wondered the same things that you have. I too am curious as to weather or not a person can truly change. I doubt anybody will ever know the answer to that. Anyways… Keep up the good blogging!
