Journal Entry no.1

Is there a perfect life? Is there such a thing called perfect life, what is life even about. Life is to live, to be, to grow, to learn
and experience worldly things but what is this so-called perfect life, is there such a way to have a perfect life. My answer to
this philosophical question is a no, as there is nothing in this whole wide world that is perfect. However just basing on fact
does not help in answering this kind of question, for we have to think beyond the question itself. In other words, use a
different point of view to look into these kinds of philosophical questions, the question is there a perfect life, what does it
mean by that? In what sense is it using the word “perfect” for? Like everyone, every human being has a different opinion on
what perfect it is for them, on what a perfect life is for them. My idea of a perfect life is to be able to live happily without a
care in the world, to live peacefully and enjoy the things I love doing the most but this might not be the case for others, some
would say a perfect life is filled with riches or to have a big family, be famous, live with no regrets is the perfect life. My
answer to this question "Is there a perfect life" is a no, for there is an imperfection in everything.

Do guns protect people or kill people? I heard a saying that “Guns don’t kill people, people do” and that made me think that
protecting oneself from others means having to hurt the other. People would say we live in a kill or be killed world; I would
agree but in a manner that the words “kill” would mean a different meaning. The word could mean having to let go of
someone whose not worthy of your time or choose a path that is just with situations like that the word kill would change to
something mellow. Do guns protect people? Yes, they have. They have protected people from the dangers of the world,
from wrongdoers to actual nature. Do guns kill people? Yes, sadly they have killed people, however, guns won’t operate
without someone taking off the safety and pulling the trigger. In what sense is it by having a gun makes you protected?
Having a gun itself is a liability; it can cause and put you in dangerous situations you wouldn’t want to be in, with that case it
can also protect in its way, helping you in a way of protecting one. The question "Do guns protect people or kill people"
depends on what and who handles the gun in that situation. This philosophical question goes above and beyond with the
subject about the gun; it shows what people would do with the ability to change something current, like life on the line
