Every Action Has a Reason.

Everyone in the world loves rewards as much as they hate punishments. People can't act without a reason. Reasons are everywhere. I do my homework because I want good grades. I eat because I am hungry. I watch movies because I am bored. No one can act without having a reason to do so. In today's society, people act according to rules and beliefs. People don't always do what they want to do, but they do what is right for them to do.

Good actions are symbol of generosity and kindness. People do good things because they want to be rewarded. I am not talking about money. I am talking about recognition and a good status in front of others. There are some factors in today's society, such as the law, that impide people to do what they want to do. In the other hand, people don't do bad things because they don't want to be punished. Almost everyone would love to go to the mall and take stuff without paying them, but no one dares because it is not well seen for the society. We talked about the ring of Gyges in class last wednesday. This ring can give people the power of invisibility.What do we would do with it? The class agreed that most of the things we would do are bad things because no one would be watching us. Cheating, stealing, pranking on people, being lazy, etc. (thank godness no one said "killing.") are some actions that we would do if no one is aware of it. Others' opinions is the main reason of people's actions. People want to have a good position in front of others. Thieves don't want people to know that they are thieves. They don't want to go to jail. People that study want to have good grades. They don't want to be considered losers in front of their classmates and teachers. Every action has its reason.

Finally, I want to tell you what I would do with the ring. I don't like to be a hypocrite, so I'll tell the truth. With the ring I would get into private life of people. I would dedicate my life to investigate people's secrets and use those secrets to my advantage. I would be like the human that knows everything about the people around. I also would know what people think about me. Moreover, I would get everything for free. I would go to stores, and get everything I want without paying for it. I would eat in fancy restaurants for free because I love food. But the most important thing I would do is traveling. For example, I would make my dream come true; I would go to Spain for free. Please don't judge me; I am not a bad person. Oh my God, I really want to be invisible.
