What do you think of these quotes?

Question

"Soon we must all make a choice, between what is right and what is easy, what will your choice be?"

"Civilization corrupts the natural goodness of people"

"You don't really know what you got till it's gone"

"Remember, Remember"

Answer 1

i love them!!!! and i agree with them for the most part. very cool. who are they by?
peace

Answer 2

The first one is a prudent reminder that going with the flow is not a moral principle. The second is ironic, since nature, in the relevant respects here, is morally neutral. And furthermore, it is only in civilization that we develop the egoic freedom that makes notions of goodness and evil possible. This one is an idle romantic fantasy. The third one is true for only for people who don't pay attention to the value of what they've got, and is not universally true. The fourth one is so vague as to be virtually meaningless. I don't think it applies very well to rekindling feelings of resentment, or keeping track of every little slight done to one by another. On the other hand, one should remember truths that others try to bury, like the Holocaust, like the presence of non-cynical motives in history, despite what some revisionist historians have said, and like the fundamental intuitive thereness of the world, despite the claims of the skeptics.

Answer 3

The first means there is a point in your life in which you have to make a choice, they both end in a path. And the question is which is right for you.

The second is about the media, America is a "civilized" country, but what does civilization have to do with explicit images?

The third is when you have something or someone you don't realise how good it or the person is until you loose them.

The last is asking what are we learning from all this. "Remember, Remember" is about not repeating the past and moving onto the future.

Answer 4

The first one is nonsense. It assumes that there is absolute right and wrong.

2 is for the most part correct.

3 is true for some but not all.

4 is a good way to avoid reality.

Answer 6

I've give them all c"s except the last one. That is the crappiest quote ever. The guy just said a verb twice. Watch this I'll make one just as meaningful right now. "Belive, believe" it means nothing. I would give it an F except that implys it is on the same scale a real quotes. So I will just metaphorically run it over with a bulldozer. vrroommm

Answer 7

We cannot choose what's right unless we're righteous and obviously we're not; which leads to what goodness? We don't really know anything, but we like to think we do; when in fact, all we can do is remember, remember!0!

Answer 8

we all ways seem to choose whats easy over whats right
no civilization does not corrupt the natural goodness of people its people them sevels that do it
true

Answer 9

Makes me think of the Bible, where it says that the road to hell is wide and easy to walk on, but the road to heaven is narrow and a real ***** to follow. Something like that.

Makes me think of a big, nasty city full of drugs and dirty needles and newspapers blowing around, dog sh!t in the street, kinda like Times Square before they cleaned it up.

Cinderella, baby! That song is AWESOME! Totally rockin'!

Answer 10

I know that appreciation is most sincere posthumously and I think its living too close to each other that corrupts us ( although computers and the internet is making that observation obsolete) The other two.............

Answer 11
