WHY DO WE LOVE? A Philosophical inquiry
WHY DO WE LOVE? A Philosophical inquiry
Discuss. Why do we love? It’s heart-breaking and complicated most of the times yet do we need it at all? I think everyone needs to love and be loved, either with your couple with your friends, family, but everyone needs to feel that someone has really loves you.
For me the love is one of the most important things in this life because it is part of them.

My favorite animal
I love cats, since I was a child I would like to have a cat. I do not have any cats because it was almost impossible to have a cat because my brother was allergic to cats. Also it was impossible to have a cat because in the building where i am living, pets are not allowed , and this was an other reason for no having a cat.
As the years passed always I had the same desire to have a cat. With the pass of time, When i am getting older, I want to live alone in a flat, and than I hope that I can buy cat and fulfill my dream because I found that cats are the most intelligent animals in world and people can see them in the same way as friends who live with them.

Firstly, this text starts talking about one of the black boys explaining they current situations in a train and now they feel by passing a train for white. When they finally arrive at the rich suburbs of Johanesburg they have a stange feeling caused by somethin eerie in the surrandings and not by the policeman who snake whith they dogs at blck boys walking through Johannesburg. Sine they havn't linown this fear lufore, it seems to a valued relationship and a white boy without hatred. Connencted to his negative views of his parents I considere that Victor starts questioning. Why his parents accepted segregation and have and have done so little. Furthermore Victor realizes that he hadn't really understood what it meant to be black, so he couldn't do anything against it because of his non-understanding, In this regard Victor convinced himself that e would have done more than his parents for example to refuse the National Service, like Charles Backer did, This Victor is able to do some grand geshues.
