After an entire semester of Logic class, I'm rather embarrassed to admit that I'm still quite confused about simplifying these complex arguments. I have a hopeless tendency to overanalyze, it seems. Please help?? My final is tomorrow, and I'm still an idiot.

I would very much appreciate responses that include some strengths and some weaknesses that i can improve.

ATHEISM

hairs trace their way
to a meandering mess
of what was once a neck.
her two eyes blank in
disgust -- beguiled -- lost
in the pseudo-image of
a god.

.

she used to be human too.
her hands were the image
of morality; she grazed sin
every now and
so, just to be realistic.

her head bent in prayer
to reach an unrealized
heaven, to be judged
by a presence known
only to her, a mystic force
unseen, unproven.

her demise, seen by
priests and fellow prayers
as a grand scheme of a
grand fellow.

Lifting the pain
From my soulders
Even if it remains
Beyond Borders

Going back into memories
never expecting this near future
letting go of these insanities
breaking away the passed rapture

a second can change one's life
a person can break one liaison apart
with everything between in strife
a sign of a new day, a new start

the dark sky hunting down the sunlights
down to the center of the earth
no more beam of life in sight
until another bright sky gives birth

the sadness of the sky covers my hapiness
that i once knew when you were near
until she made you flourish your ruthlessness
pushing you in the rear
end of our love and friendship for good

There's many thrill ride and one of the ride e.g. for a costar ride, to raise their heart beat, to scream out the lungs, to feel fear and for those who are afraid of height after the end of the ride they feel sick and look pale. Why do they pay torture themselves for the sake of getting the excitement?

Everyone has his own life,it is totally different from each other,do you guys know why? Cause we have different characters and tempers, which leads us the different life. Some people may be easy to be contented,while others will never feel satisfied, and their life is full of goals and dreams, in my opinion, the more goals and dreams you have,the more concerns you will have or consider, i am just this kind of person, thinking too much, everytime when i did something, i will firstly look at the bad side of it, that always makes me a better person than i expect, but that also makes me a very hard life, and a very tired person, what i want to share with you is that please just enjoy our life,enjoy what we have, do not always think about the dark side of the life,you never know what life will bring you next, so why do you waste your precious time on thinking that? I finally know what my teacher told my " life is not receiving, life is giving!" Learn to love someone, with your heart andsoul

In my opinion, if you have a problem common sense says you should fix it. Even if it's a temporary problem, you should still try to fix it. But when arguing against suicide, some people think calling it "a permanent solution to a temporary problem" is a valid argument. If suicide really were a solution to a problem, that would be a reason to do it, not to not do it. Am I right or wrong?

"Consider the fearful danger you are in; it is a great furnace of wrath, a wide and bottomless pit, full of the fire of wrath, that you are held over in the hand of that God, whose wrath is provoked and incensed as much against you, as against many of the damned in Hell. You hang by a slender thread, with the flames of divine wrath flashing about it, and ready every moment to singe it, and burn it asunder; and you have no interest in any mediator, and nothing to lay hold of to save yourself, nothing to keep off the flames of wrath, nothing of your own, nothing that you ever have done, nothing that you can do, to induce God to spare you.... The sovereign pleasure of God, for the present, stays his rough wind; otherwise it would come like a whirlwind, and you would be like the chaff of the summer threshing floor."
