Benjamin Franklin - Reaching Moral Perfection

    Benjamin Franklin presents some very interesting ideas is his article "Reaching Moral" perfection. He is able to list the different components of an unmoral life and he is able to categories them, which is very difficult to do.The thirteen ideas that he present seem easy to achieve when you only try one at a time, but it becomes an extreme difficult task when you want to keep all thirteen rules. It is like drawing. When you want to draw two circles with both hands, it is extremely easy. On the other hand, when you want to draw one square and one circle simultaneously, it is extremely difficult. If I had the choice, I would never want to live like Franklin. It's like monitoring your own life by the second.
