Exercise 2
Quote: Proceeding to live and fighting against the difficulties that life can offer is a continuous
process that we choose to engage in.

Explanation: We lose hope in the face of challenges and struggles because life is so full of
them. Some people made the decision to end their lives. It is our choice to live in this world and
overcome diversity. To live and make many memories in this world, we must be steadfast and
become accustomed to the challenges of life.

Evaluation: Reflection Paper

What’s the significance here to be content and to carry on with a good life? How would we zero
in on what makes a difference and satisfy our own latent capacity? For what reason do certain
individuals succeed while others just get by? These basic and fundamental inquiries have been
with us for centuries and the vast majority of us end up pondering with regards to them as we
mature. Human flourishing includes the normal utilization of one’s singular human possibilities,
including gifts, capacities, and ideals chasing after his openly and judiciously picked qualities
and objectives. When an action leads to the flourishing of the person doing the action, it is
deemed to be suitable. Human flourishing is both a moral achievement and a realization of
human potential, and it is one by being the other. Self-completion is moral development as well
as the other way around.

As per Aristotle, individuals have a characteristic longing and ability to know and comprehend
reality, to seek after moral greatness, and to put their values into action in the world. In
accordance with Aristotle, each man’s life has a purpose, and the aim of one’s life is to achieve
that purpose. He emphasizes that the goal of life is to seek worldly happiness or flourishing,
which can be achieve through reason and virtue acquisition. Defining the end goal of a person’s
life in a clear and plain manner. According to Aristotle, each human being should use his or her
abilities to the utmost extent possible in order to achieve satisfaction and fulfillment through the
exercise of their realized capacities. He claims that human accomplishments are fueled by a
sense of purpose and autonomy, and that people should be proud of their accomplishments.

As an understudy and a resident of this country I need to live objectively that implies managing
the world theoretically. In order for me to flourish, I must pursue intellectual as well as human
aims. It is critical for me to live consciously, accepting, and employing reason in the recognition
and perception of reality, as well as in my selection of values and actions to the best of my
abilities. As a human being, I can contribute to the growth of our society by understanding that
principle. Recognizing and adhering to the realities of own endowments and circumstances will
assist us in achieving value which will lead to happiness.

Hence, a rational man’s endeavors to externalize his ideals and actualize his internal beliefs of
how things should be in the outside world are positively associated to human flourishing. All the
values and qualities that make up personal flourishing can be chosen, created, and integrated
using practical reason. We will be a greater help to others and our community if we understand
the reason for our existence.
