Character Paper GOOD OR BAD? Please read advice please?

What is Character? This is not a question I would ask my self because I thought I had an idea of what character is. But a question for myself is: Do I posses it? So I went on a little journey to find out. I went online to Google and looked it up. That’s when I realized that I didn’t have a clue of what character is. I found out that Character is the account of the qualities or peculiarities of a person or moral or ethical quality and that’s when I figured I possessed it. The definition of Character lead me to my next paragraph and a new question: Do I need character to live a good life?





So, do I need character to lead a good life? I looked this up also. I found that to lead a good life you need good character because in a book called The Time of Our Lives: The Ethics of Common Sense written by Mortimer J. Adler who was an American Aristotelian philosopher and author said “To this, first of all, must be added the observation that even apart from the extremes of good or bad fortune, we need strength of character -- we need fortitude and temperance -- to carry out a plan for our whole life, precisely because that plan requires us always to weigh the interests of the moment against the interests of our life as a whole.”





Thus saying that you need a strong guided character to be able to handle the good and bad parts of life, and with that strong character no matter what happens you would be able to get through all the different moments and at the end of your life you’d be happy in how you lived it to its fullest.





I had another question that I wanted answered so I looked it up too. Is your life bad when you have no character? I found out that if you have no character you life could be a living hell but it could turn out to be different if you try to but that is totally up to the person with bad character.





In conclusion almost everybody posses character, but mostly the people with good character will live a good life and actually feel good about. The people with bad character could live a good life but not feel good about it at the end. So to obtain good moral character I always would do the right thing so in order for you to obtain good moral character you should always do the right thing no matter what.Character Paper GOOD OR BAD?
