Aristotle in the News

According to Aristotle he believes that there is the greater pleasure in doing a kindness or service to friends, guest, and/or companions, with this being said there is no greater time then right now to adopt this belief into ones life, with the earthquake that occurred in Haiti. It is best to share or give something that you have to someone in need, when a person has the means to share i.e., food, clothing, money, and/or time. When a person gives to someone in need from their heart it is the most fulfilling and pleasurable feeling, and it makes that person that is giving an even more virtuous person, which is something that we all strive to be. In a perfect world everyone would assist the people of Haiti right now in their time of need, however we do not live in a perfect world and there is that thing called reality, which makes us realize that everyone does not strive to be virtuous, caring, and selfless. I can only question that if everyone felt and conducted themselves this way where would we be as a people, considering that we all are have been given something by someone else in life rather it be food, clothing, money, shelter, or even the kind words of inspiration or compliment of someone. Maybe this is what gives us our individuality, and what separates the caring and selfish.
