This equilibrium is what some define as happiness.
Some individuals might look at this and think that it is not necessary to live by any moral code in order to be happy, and that might be true for that specific person, but what one has to always think about is that no matter what an individuals' beliefs are, every action affects those around you. One person's happiness could interfere with another's, and so it is important to always keep that in mind. Happiness is something felt internally, and although extraneous factors such as having money and luxury might momentarily bring a happy thought or two across someone mind, true happiness is brought when one lives by a moral code.
In all, moral behavior does bring happiness. It brings not only contentment to individuals, but a society as a whole as well. When one person acts immorally, many people around that...
When a person acts out of their morals and commits a crime, all the parties involved will be affected, whether they mean to or not. It is these repercussions and consequences that make living morally a necessity. Although living by every moral law, whether it be in the Christian Bible or another religious book, is nearly impossible, as some of us tend to falter and break some of these rules, it is still good to use these as a guideline to how a society should function.

Moral Philosophy Can desires and feelings be in accordance with or contrary to reason? Are they under the control of, or guided by, reason? Compare, contrast, and critically evaluate the answers of Aristotle and Hume to these questions and their arguments in support of those answers. David Hume is one of the most significant philosophers of the 18th Century. Hume is skeptical about moral truths, and he ascertains that ethics comes from
moral and not belief in God? Humanity encompasses all aspects about exemplification of life and the utmost being. The origin of man is detrimental to the subsequent behaviours and codes of living among these human beings. In most cases, many researchers have shown that human existence is based on the origin and existence of God. God is regarded as a supreme being who gives and takes life. Nonetheless, human behaviour
This is the perfect way to end this poem. The ending is in fact effective and consistent. The entire time, the duke speaks about how it was to have his wife besides him and how much he did not agree with her behavior. He then makes an insinuation that it was him in fact that had her killed. The ending leaves the reader in a sort of shock. The lines,
