ESSAY

1.

Not all people automatically become happy when they reach the success that they want in life. Because
according to Aristotle, happiness is something we feel inside, not the one we think and see outside. You have the
career, money, fame, power, and wealth, but the question is, are you happy? Living well doesn't equate because it is
like functioning only as a human to attain the happiness that the world constructs you to have. Living is like having a
life but your dead inside. Aristotle also emphasizes that we reach happiness through our choices. Choices that show
and possess virtue. You are happy because you have chosen well and that is being a good man, on the other hand,
you are unhappy because you didn’t choose well and that is doing bad things. Selecting the good is like having an
intellectual with a virtue.

You really can’t tell if she or he is happy because he or she is thriving. For instance, a man who has all the human is
wishing for wealth, fame, and power. Think of all the things he has like fancy cars and clothes, many properties,
significant influence, and high ranking or position. Is that all from his hardship, or is it from illegal activities? Is it
because of humility, or you deceive them? Where’s the virtue there? We really can’t tell. Second, if that wealthy man
just lived just for fame, power, and wealth, all he did is work. He exhausts his body just for the material things and
makes himself rich on the outside when he didn’t know that he is penniless inside. Then, where’s the happiness from
the inside? Having the things we want like power, wealth, fame, material things, etc., is just a façade of happiness
because it is temporary, unlike happiness from within is an infinite good feeling.

They have human rights without the fear, worries, and doubts that somebody will take them away from
them. That’s why there are gap and competition that is happening because of these factors. For instance, many
businesses need to cut off employees because of this health crisis because of not having profit but having high
expenses. Some people lose their jobs because they belong to the low level, and some people stay because they are
known and have the connection from the management. The people belonging to the low level can’t do anything.
They don't have the guts to voice out because they think they are just workers who are not needed. Second, some
businesses are required to close because their goods and services are not necessary and a priority. They know that
they are also the business that reopened a few days ago compared to others that opened from the beginning until
now since the quarantine. Yes, it is understandable, but it is also a business, and they have to conduct an operation
to gain profit and serve others in fulfilling their demands. Knowing that it is hard to live right now because of the
continuing needs, there is no income source because of this pandemic. Some forms of social justice are nowhere to
be found these days because of factors that affect how people think and act. All we only need to do is cope in life
without degrading and discriminating against people because respect is one of the rights of humans that all people
need to have and show to have the social justice we all want to experience.
