WHAT ARE YOUR AXIOMS?

Undefined terms: human beings, actions


Axiom 1: Human beings make mistakes (bad actions)
Axiom 2: Human beings must take responsibility for their actions, either good or bad
Axiom 3: Human beings’ past actions does not define who they are as a person
The negations of the respective axioms are as follows:
Negation of Axiom 1: Human beings does not make mistakes (bad
actions)
Negation of Axiom 2: Human beings must not take responsibility for their actions,
either good or bad
Negation of Axiom 3: Human beings’ past actions defines who they are as a
person
Since the respective negations are not axioms or is not supported by any axioms given, then the
Human being-and-action axiomatic system is consistent.
The axioms provided do not rely on each other for their existence. They may refer to undefined
terms, but they do not stem one from the other. This make the axiomatic system independent.
THEOREM: Sometimes, a good person make bad decisions
PROOF:
Everyone, at least once in their life, has committed a sinful action such as lying, stealing,
mistreatment, or thinking ill of someone. (Axiom 1)
Your past mistakes do not make you any less of a good person. What matters is the present, and
you may always change for the better. (Axiom 3)
Just because something goes wrong in your life does not mean you get to become the wrong in
everyone else's. (Axiom 1)
Every action we do, every decision we make, there will always be a consequence, and it is our
duty to face these consequences. (Axiom 2)
We can never escape from our past, but what we can do is learn from it and not make the same
mistake again. (Axiom 2 and Axiom 3)
We should not look for the weakness or mistakes of others; instead, we should look upon how
they are as a person, and how they influence and help others as well. A single mistake will not
make someone any less of a good person, but this mistake will serve as an experience to strive
for the better and always look for the truth and justice. And that’s what makes a person good.
