Running Away From Tripods To The White Mountain

In the Novel Brave New World, there are many different subject and themes that portray the plot. The subject and theme of the utopian story is based on several ideas, but one in particular is the pursuit of happiness carried to an extreme.

In order to be truly free, you must be free from any influences or people to make your choices. Also to be truly free, you might have to step outside your comfort zone and maybe even change your scenery. ”We went on, cutting through the branches, and it was if we were swimming through a sea of leaves, with the bushes as waves rising and falling and rising around us, and flinging their green sprays high to the treetops”. (Chapter 8, paragraph 3), and ”The forest

In Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, a new society is created to secure happiness for all the people living in it. By doing this, they sacrifice truth, choice, family, science, and art. The government provides them with everything they need to be happy in life because they agreed to give up complete control of their lives. If I were given the choice, I would live in the world we live in now rather than the Brave New World. Like John, a “Savage” born outside the world and then brought into it, I think, “Well, I’d rather be unhappy than have the sort of false, lying happiness you were having here” (Huxley 179). Even though there would be times when I am uncomfortable, unhappy, in pain, even though I would have to experience loss and disappointment, at least I would be living a full life full of emotion and some purpose.

The moment he meets the Tralfamadorians, “Billy's will [is] paralyzed by a zap gun aimed at him from one of the portholes” (Vonnegut). The moment displays the concept of having no free will. Throughout the book, the Tralfamadorians have the saying: “And so it goes” (Vonnegut). This saying emphasizes the relation with Tralfamadorians and free will. The saying means that things will happen how they’re going to happen and one has to embrace it. It coincides with the “Tralfamadorian idea that we can do nothing about anything fully” (Vanderwerken). For example, Billy has a conversation with the Tralfamadorians which goes:

In the novel it stays “achieving great happiness requires traveling to far off places”. I agree with this statement because no one can be happy if they never go anywhere. It is crucial to venture off to far places when trying to be happy whether one physically travels or mentally goes on a journey of self-discovery.

Happiness is seen in many ways in the novel, but happiness is prominently seen in the novel through rivalry and to see one side thrive more than the other. Gaining happiness from competing seems

On July 20, 2017, at approximately 1507 hours, I responded to 1605 N John Young Parkway in reference to assisting Sgt. J. Ciola in making contact with Brandon Hiroshi Joseph (suspect). On July 19, 2017 at approximately 1545 hours, Sgt. J. Ciola attempted to conduct on a traffic stop on Brandon on Bill Beck Blvd, when he fled from him (see Sgt. J Ciola full report). Based on the aforementioned information Sgt. J. Ciola provided to me, Brandon was placed under arrest for Fleeing to elude with wanton disregard for the safety of the public under F.S.S. 316.1935(3)(a).

Being released from your home to be on your own, takes some real perseverance. In Call of The Wild, Buck has to persevere when he is taken from his home and forced to become a sled dog. In contrast, my mom left her home to start her own life at college this called for perseverance. While they still are different, my mom had to leave her home and what she knew, to live a new life like Buck. Everyone goes through hard time in their lives and have to persevere to get through it.

Scott Adams once said “[f]ree will is an illusion. People always choose the perceived path of greatest pleasure.” Even though most people have free will, they always choose the decision that will lead them to the most happiness. If one is given a choice to be courageous and happy or safe but not satisfied, the logical choice they would chose is the primary. This decision is evidently seen in John Milton’s Paradise Lost and the film The Matrix, where Eve from Paradise Lost and Neo from The Matrix face an opportunity to discover pleasure or endure the same, boring life they were experiencing before. To no surprise, the characters chose the happy route because their “free will” would not let them go the other route of dissatisfaction. As a result

Our parents always told us that we should have goals and dreams in our life, and through them we will gain happiness. There are some things in life that get in the way of our dreams and goals. In the Declaration of Independence, It states that we have the right to pursue happiness. For example having everybody in the world be equal, and not be shamed upon or looked at differently due to the color of their skin. The poem ¨The Negro Mother,¨ the play A Raisin in the Sun, and the article Innocence Is Irrelevant, all show how our society and they way people can get in the way of our happiness.

For most of us, achieving some state of Happiness is a core objective. Indeed, in a great many of the philosophical musings on the very purpose of our lives here on Earth will tend to focus on the importance of achieving happiness, of sharing happiness and of bringing happiness to others. It is therefore reasonable to propose the knee-jerk response that happiness is the end in and of itself. However, as Kant asserts, this is an incomplete understanding of our supposed purpose here. As the 18th Century German philosopher asserts, happiness lived without the principle of good will, can have the capacity to be a rather unsavory force. According to Kant, in fact, this concept of good will is a core determinant as to whether the characteristics by which we can be defined may be considered virtues or vices. Kant argues that this truth "holds with gifts of fortune; power, riches, honor, even health, and that complete well-being and contentment with one's condition which is called happiness make for pride and often hereby even arrogance, unless there is a good will to correct their influence on the mind and herewith also to rectify the whole principle of action and make it universally comfortable to its end." (Kant, p. 7) This principle underlies the initial rejection of the assumption that Happiness, however formulated, is the

“The constitution only guarantees the American people the tight to purpose happiness. You have to catch it yourself (Benjamin Franklin).” This quote was the first scene in the movie. It was a really attention grabber. As people, we forget what true happiness is, and that we must attain it ourselves. These was the purpose of the movie, it was to show the audience what happiness it and how it is different for everyone.

To begin with, the video game Journey places a mountain in every chapter that seems to get closer every time I pass a level. According to McCloud's theory, "In the non pictorial icons, meaning is fixed and absolute. Their appearance doesn't affect their meaning because they represent invisible ideas." This mountain for someone who never played a game would say this is a nice mountain or it is just a mountain, but for someone who played this video game would suggest that this mountain is their goal to achieve and arrive at this mountain.

Happiness could be seen as the goal for humanity, which is what causes the world to move forward. In each person’s unique way, they would be attempting to reach happiness, and this would cause humanity to progress. However, each person cannot know what the true form of happiness really is, and can only strive to what they think to be the ultimate idea of happiness. Different people would go about attempting to be happy in different ways, and some of these ways would be more successful than others. A person who was raised in a family with certain morals and beliefs may experience happiness by following strict rules set by the family, while another may find happiness by breaking those same rules. In the interpretation for the perfect happiness, there is diversity as to how the happiness could be achieved.

To be happy is a choice because love is a choice – and an action. Psyche is lovely and happy, not because of her beauty or the attention she receives, but because she makes things beautiful around her with unconditional love. Orual, on the other hand thinks love to be the feeling of good around another, and when someone says or does something that makes her feel unhappy, 'they do not love her '. Even though at one point Orual uses Psyche 's love to get her way, Psyche never turns against Orual but still loves and pities her. In the end, when Orual sees Psyche’s travel in a vision and looks back on her own life she discovers that happiness and love come from the inside. A happy life comes from choosing to love, seeing the beauty and good in us and wanting the same for others.
