I strongly disagree that if you are in a position of power, you are happy. Most of the time, this power comes with little amounts of time for any chance of happiness. If, say a powerful job position took up most of a man's life, he might not have much time for his family or any hobbies he enjoys. Being well-rounded in life is important, and if power takes up too much of that time, there will not be enough time for true happiness.
I disagree that our essential character and temperament is fixed and unchangeable. I believe that our experiences and adventures shape us. I also believe that the people we meet along our way impact our lives. With effort and determination, people can even change themselves instead of relying on other people and places for that to happen.
I agree with that you said in the second paragraph. I also did my post about that one. You explain your thoughts well on each topic.
ReplyDeleteI also chose these topics and have similar thoughts about these statements. I really like how you said that people can forcibly change themselves.
