Failing at life can happen by giving up on goals, making poor choices, or not taking responsibility for actions. Consequences may include missed opportunities, regret, and a sense of unfulfillment.

Did Pandora know what she was doing when she helped Zeus carry out his plan?

In Greek mythology, Pandora was created by the gods as part of Zeus's plan to punish mankind. She was given a jar (often mislabeled as a box) and instructed not to open it, but her curiosity led her to do so, releasing all the evils into the world. So, while she may not have fully understood the consequences of her actions, she played a role in carrying out Zeus's plan.

Why do you suppose telemachus hasn't tried to stand up to the suitors so far?

Telemachus may feel overwhelmed and powerless compared to the suitors who are more numerous and stronger. He may also lack the experience and confidence to confront them, and may fear the consequences of doing so without support or a plan in place. Additionally, Telemachus might be waiting for a sign or guidance from his father Odysseus before taking action.


Does freedom mean doing whatever we want?

For some people it does, but in general, no. If "doing whatever you want" means breaking laws for instance, or hurting someone else, then your freedom could be limited as a result of your choices... you might go to jail, for instance, or the person you hurt might hurt you back, and limit your freedom to move, or breathe, or something else pretty important. Also, the freedom to do some things requires a lot of effort on our parts first. For example, the freedom to practice medicine might require you to study for many years to earn that opportunity. Or the freedom to play the piano for your friends might also require study, depending on what you want to play and how hard it is for you to learn that instrument. The freedom to function in another country could be limited by your knowledge of the language or culture, and whether you choose to abide by the laws of that country. Freedom is very important, but it isn't usually just doing whatever you want. It is more the ideal of being in a place where you can make your own choices and accept the associated consequences, instead of having your life or beliefs dictated to you by another person, group, or government, and having to live with consequences that you had no say in. The challenge in learning to use our freedom is trying to understand consequences, and how our personal freedom interacts with the freedom of the people around us. If we never work at anything, then we might find ourselves in a life that we didn't want, but which we chose by default be not working for something better. ... If we treat someone badly, we have to accept the probability that that person could treat us badly in return... and through making all of those complex choices in life, we eventually learn how we prefer to treat people and how it will affect others as well as ourselves, etc. We start understanding the consequences that are tied to every choice that we make, and maybe looking forward a little more so that we can choose better consequences down the road.

Does academic excellence ensure success in life?

no i don't think so academic excellence does not ensures success in life. a student may be academically strong but fails to face the practical problems of life. these children do not have any practical knowledge n sense of life. they fail very badly in the race of life while facing any problems. they even commit suicide if they fail to fulfil it. so academic excellence without any practical sense of life has no worth at all.

When do you consent to take a chemical test for alcohol content of your blood breathe or urine?

Well common sense-wise, you give consent when the consequences for NOT doing so outweigh consequences FOR doing so. If you've not used or drank, there's no reason to refuse. But in some situations, Law Enforcement in some States can mandate you submit (consent), or they can take your license. So know your State Laws, know when it is legal to refuse, and what consequences attach to such refusal.
