I believe in the words of Thomas Moore saying The things of this world have much to offer to us. Artistscan show us the things here have souls. In the context of metaphysics What we are doing here for?, Why do we exist? or Who am I?, we are created by God for a purpose. Everything has a purpose which I could not agree more than what Aristotle could propose. Each one of us has that desire to achieve a goal. It could be something that you have always dream of as a kid or it can be something you have seen it on television. Everyone daydream of having a place where in a world where no felony is offense, no war against rivalries, no disease that spread viral and no one will suffers from poverty. Just simply called as world peace. Its more likely to state that everyone has a mutual objective. God created us uniquely different from one another. We may have different physical features from others but we came from the same alikeness of a human race. From the earliest known humans that step foot on Earth, they seem to work their way out of survival. Our ancestors learn the roots of hunting down for food, collecting scraps of branches and grass to construct a shelter and passing their own skills to their young ones. Continually, our ancestral roots routine this in order to make living more attainable. In the modest ways, we aim where life gives as pleasure, a silver lining of every gemstone. Utopia is the term use to describe the vision of every human races purpose in life. Sir Thomas More was responsible of the word Utopia which he delineate in his book out of the same name, a world that possesses flawless qualities. From young kids to elderly, they have their own picturesque panoramic of their Utopia. Generally, we can utter that Utopia defines how each person expound their own wonderland. Niccolo Machiavellis The prince is an eye-opener that embraces the human endeavor. A must read book who plans to follow the footsteps of political leaders. Many critics argue of Machiavelli empowering tyrant. Nevertheless, this book boasts in without fear and hesitation, of the life of an ideal ruler. One of my Machiavelli famously known passage is Here a question arises: whether it is better to be loved than feared, or the reverse. The answer is, of course, that it would be best to be both loved and feared.

But since the two rarely come together, anyone compelled to choose will find greater security in being feared than in being loved. . . . Love endures by a bond which men, being scoundrels, may break whenever it serves their advantage to do so; but fear is supported by the dread of pain, which is ever present. It focuses on whether to be loved or despise as a prince. It is ideal for a ruler to be a good teacher rather than being barbaric. However, chronology of political party often seeks cruelty as its best option. Machiavellis favors a prince that strives in stability of the government with his cruel actions than a ruler that mislead his compassion that would collapse his state. Fear forms a bond of a lattice of allegiance. Due of men tend to tumble down among relationship with others, but fear prevail sustainability.
