Who Is The Best Choice?

Why do we suffer? Humans have spent years searching for meaning in the grievous events that happen in life. Some find comfort through religions that give reason to tragedy and teach that suffering is not always eternal. Others just accept that this is the way the world is and then do their best to adapt to that reality. Religions and philosophies, like Buddhism and stoicism, may try to teach its followers how to end their pain, because no one likes hurting. However, suffering is not necessarily a bad thing. It is painful, but suffering can bring new levels of meaning and appreciation to happiness. Pain is inevitable for anyone who cares about the people or things in his/her life. But if we were to eliminate suffering then life would become meaningless, because real joy is not possible without the risk of pain, and those who find contentment after enduring some tribulations appreciate their joy much more.

To most people, pain is a nuisance, but to others pain controls their life. The feeling discomforts us in ways that can sometimes seem almost imaginable. These feelings can lead to many different side effects if not dealt with or diagnosed. These effects can include depression, anxiety, and incredible amount of stress. The truth about pain is that it is vital to our existence. Without the nervous system responding to pain, we would have no idea if we were touching a hot stove, being stuck by a porcupine’s needles, or something else that could leave a lasting effect upon our bodies without us even knowing anything about it.

Here's a hard pill to swallow and a philosophy I have that took me a long time to accept. I don't think most ever get to this point, so I would like to share.

Pain can be emotional or physical, but the obvious part about it is that it is caused by being hurt by someone or something. The mental wall that everyone builds after being emotionally abused makes many people believe nothing will ever hurt them. They are extraordinarily wrong. Even when someone believes one hundred percent that the wall is indestructible, they should never have

The first major reason Physical pain is painful, in most cases, at one place and you know it's going to pass. Mental pain can be pure agony, wipe out your hope. And one evidence of this is from Elie Wiesel, “ How can we fail to pity a father who witnesses the massacre of his children by his other children? Is there a suffering more devastating, a remorse more bitter? -(Pg. 109).” What this quote is saying is that a father was watching

An important part of life is the capability to feel pain. Pain allows individuals a warning system when something is wrong. Without pain, there would be no warning system other than noticing we are injured using our 5 senses. The issue with just relying on senses to determine when we are hurt is that the elapsed time taken to notice may have been too much to fix the issue. As a species, we need pain to alert us of injures and prevent them from killing us. There are two nerves in our body that signal pain. One nerve send a signal to the brain to alert us that something is wrong and the second nerve signals the start or stop of the pain.

It makes us feel sad or helpless, feelings no one wants to experience. But, despite all our efforts, pain always finds a way to borrow into our lives. It can’t be stopped, merely delayed in some instances. It can show up as, say, a broken arm, or even the death of someone close to us.

The society would be better off with pain because painful experiences can make people realize what they’ve done wrong so they can avoid doing it again. Physical pain can also make a person stronger and more pain-tolerant. Pain can also help bring people who’ve made a mistake together. For example, two characters in the book, Asher and Jonas, were playing a game, and Jonas said something rude without meaning it.

Most importantly, sufferings give us a clearer sense of our limitations and remind us that we are gods nor rulers of this world. Depending on the person, this comes at a cost. The loss of a loved one can either break you or make you stronger, or both

Have you ever truly thought about why humans have to suffer? I have been handed this question and I'm going to do my best to give you my side of this dual sided argument. From my standpoint I see that when humans suffer that they in turn learn something and they are better off. Remember I did say that there were two sides of the argument so if you don’t agree with me don’t stop reading. When humans suffer we build character, learn to work with others, and develop ethos.Humans need to suffer sometimes. When you suffer you will learn to fight through whatever your struggle is. When you develop the technique of fighting through something then the next time you come across a problem you will know

That pain and suffering exists in the lives of everyone. It is inevitable and unavoidable. Even if you are doing well in your life, you have the job you have always wanted, you live in your dream house, and your life just cannot get any better. Suffering will impose on that perfect life. Pain and suffering do not discriminate on whom it affects. At one point in time or another, our lives will shift, as it is ever changing, and we will endure suffering. To live life, we must experience suffering. This is a fundamental truth of our existence ("Buddhist Studies: The Four Noble Truths," 2008). It is unreasonable to live our entire lives believing that we will never have to experience pain and suffering. Just as it is an unreasonable expectation to go through life only expecting happiness. How could we truly understand and appreciate the feeling of happiness, if we never experienced pain? Buddha taught that one must experience suffrage alone to fully understand the process of pain. It is then that we are able to accept that pain and suffering are realistic elements of our lives. When we understand and accept this suffering, it won’t come as such a shock or blow to our lives when

I think it is an important thing to hurt on occasion otherwise all of our joyous moments are taken for granted. I remember how amazed I was the first time I bent over to touch my toes after surgery, how wide I smiled at my friend, looking to make sure he had seen the same thing I had. It was freeing to be able to twist and work the pain out of my shoulders. I think we do not give ourselves enough credit nor get as excited about accomplishing the simple things in life as we

To first answer this question, we must know what weakness of the will is. According to the famous philosopher Donald Davidson, weakness of the will occurs when a person acts counter to his or her own best judgment. This is also called incontinence. Many philosophers argue whether or not an incontinent action can even occur. It seems hard to believe that a person could believe one action to be the best option yet commit another action. If we believe an action to be best then why would we choose another action? Is it weakness of the will or is it something else? Do we really believe that the action was best or did some part of us really believe that it wasn’t? Say someone wanted to go for a run to get in shape. They believe that running is the best thing for them, yet they stay home and eat cake. Is it weakness of the will or not? It is tough to say and even harder to even harder to prove. The philosopher Donald Davidson sets out to prove incontinence true and prove Aristotle, Plato, Paul, and Socrates wrong.

The philosophy I chose was Enlightened Self‐Interest. According to the book is not being selfish. The author provided an example of what was the philosophy of Enlightened Self‐Interest. That would be when young siblings angrily dispute who owns what, a parent will remind them not to fight. Instead, they are urged to share. In school, children are taught to obey rules, not to be selfish, and to cooperate with others. Public praise for philanthropy reminds us that charity is good that acting out of self‐interest is wrong (except when it was the way the donor's fortune was amassed, yet free societies are also based on the principle that free enterprise, which benefits the entrepreneur first, also helps employees and their families.

You probably think I have gone off the deep end, but pain can be very beneficial. Such as a chiropractor who pops that spot in your back that has been bothering you for months. It can hurt at the time, but in the long run you will be thankful that you had it done. Another example would be childbirth. At the time of the actual birth, I assume, it is very painful. But, when that precious bundle of joy comes out and those motherly instincts kick in, you forget there was any pain at all. You see, without the pain, your child would not have been born into this beautiful world we live in. Even though many would disagree, pain can be a good thing.<br><br>Then, there is the needless pain around us. An example would be a terminally ill patient that has to suffer everyday through the agony of their disease. Watching their own bodies wither away into nothingness, while they can do nothing to prevent it. Or a little girl who was brutally raped because her tormentor enjoyed her pain. The little victim would not only suffer physical injuries, but also emotional pain that will scar her for life. These individuals did not wish this form of pain upon themselves; it just happened. In summary, there is no escaping pain. Pain is one of the realities of life, whether it be physical or emotional. It is one of those feeling that everyone in there life will eventually experience. There is no hiding from it because, like death, where ever you go, it will
