Sun shines through the cracked window, highlighting the swirling dust in the air. It bounces off the sparkling glasses and cutlery, setting the restaurant alight with sparkles. A slight breeze hits the shimmering chandelier, sending beautiful lights around the room. Despite this, the occupants are tense and quiet, except for a small cat, basking in the sunlight. Her ears flick back and forth despite the relaxed demeanour. Warm daylight shines through her soft, grey fur, making it look white. With her eyes happily closed, she emits an engine like sound, in sync with her breathing. The small purple ribbon around her neck is frayed, and a slight ringing comes from the attached bell as it swings.
A young girl sits nearby, shielding her eyes from the sun with one scratched hand, while the other angrily clutches her dress. Beneath the dress, she wears several layers of alarmingly bright shirts. Her small legs swing above the ground, and are covered by grubby, ripped green leggings. Her small feet hit the chair leg each time they swing by. The entire

Even being surrounded by unfamiliarly, the ladies felt at home in this quaint but spacious hut. The old crone like voice spoke again, asking the girls to stay for tea. The girls entertained the idea and sat at the small table where the tea was already placed, even though they could have sworn it wasn't that way a few seconds ago.

On January 11, 2005, Malcolm Gladwell a renowned bestselling author, wrote blink: The power of Thinking without Thinking. In this book, Gladwell’s intentions were to provide the reader a different perspective on quick decision making based solely on instinct and how the brain is much more complex whilst making these decisions. This is all shown through the title, blink which is decision making in just the blink of an eye. Throughout the book, the author uses a consistent writing style with a multitude of real life situations over time in order to prove his reasoning on how decisions based on instinct can a lot of times, be far superior than those that are analyzed.

A light turned on in a nearby apartment and a voiced replied, "Let that girl alone!” Then the lights went out, the attacker walked away, Kitty was
Lin morphs into the Feline -- a cat/human hybrid. Sleek, yet prowling. Elegant, yet deadly. She jumps out the window and takes off into the city.
Angelo followed Sylvia’s line of sight. “Hello, Mr. Caito. I didn’t notice you were there.”
Her hair is the strings of a harp, bloodied from the constant playing of the beautiful hymns of the gods.

Her laptop was lying on the wooden table, and the curiosity of what her photos looked like made her open it and insert her memory card into the reader. As she was flicking through the various images she heard Dawn
All Natalie could see was the endless forest of tall redwood trees in every direction. The sun glistened just over the horizon, turning the sky the dark orange color of sunset. Feeling overwhelmingly alone, she looked down at her light brown tabby cat, Merlin. He was fairly small, with paws the size of quarters and a height of about nine inches, and Natalie loved him more than anything in the world. He was always there when she felt scared or alone, and Natalie knew she could trust him to be just as intelligent as she could ever be. She stroked his short, soft fur at the neck, where a spot of white formed the distinct shape of a crescent moon. It was a simple action, a nervous tic of hers. Merlin’s green eyes met her own brown ones, and a

In Nicomachean Ethics Book X, Aristotle discussed true happiness and came to the conclusion that it was contemplation without ceasing. He also acknowledged that humans could never truly achieve it but instead could experience it in short bursts if they worked up to it, and if not there was always contentment, but it was important to strive towards contemplation. He stated that only the gods could truly be happy as they are beings of reason alone. This means that we should strive to be like the gods. However, are gods always happy or do they just have the capacity to be happy for as long as they choose?
