1. In my opinion, exercising our free will has a lot to do with our paths in life. In life, we are constantly faced with choices, and the pathes we pick when faced with any kind of conflict determines who we are as people and where our lives will continue to go.
2. I know many religious people believe that we are almost "puppets" to God or other superior figures, however I believe that we have the abolity to control our lives into what we want it to be. Everyone has the same ability to become who they want, some just have to work harder to get it and that is your own personal choice, not a "role" you are playing in life. However I do not believe that people are always honest with eachother. I believe that people lie to keep themselves afloat and attempt to get rid of any problems that they may have.
3. Although I fully understand people's motivation for revenge, I do not believ that it makes anything better, "you can't fight fire with fire". One of my favorite shows is "Revenge" on ABCfamily. In this show, a woman is constantly trying to get revenge on the couple that killed her father. However, every step closer she gets to fulfilling her plan, she ends up getting pushed back or hurt by something else, she is never able to fully revenge her father. Similarly, I do not think suicide is justifiable. I understand the viewpoint that people who commit suicide hold that they're greatly struggling and life will never get better and everything, but the majority of people who commit suicide are only in high school, and have not even nearly hit their fullest potential. There is so much more to the world that what they're currently living and things can always get better if you don't lost faith in yourself.
4. Madness is anything that is seen as "insane" or "crazy" by other people around you. I think the context greatly affects this definition because something that can be seen as madness by a certain group of people, could be considered very normal by another group of people, deeming very different things as "madness". A label of insanity can be used as an instrument of power because people who are seen as "insane" are often seen as scary because they are "unstable and unpredictable". So in turn, the person who is considered insane has control over the "normal" person.
