Francis Bacon Essay on Truth

Why don't we want to inquire about what truth is or why it is important? Mr. Bacon says that people who do not inquire and search for truth think that life would be boring if they did, but it's not. If you inquire about truth, then know truth, then finally believe truth, then it becomes your best friend.
Why do people lie to others in joke as in "made you look" or told someone they were something that they weren't to make them feel better? I think that people lie to others to make people either do what they want or to make them happy so they want to do something for them. But is it right? Mr. Bacon said it is not right because it debases them just like if you mix gold and silver it works better but it is worth less than if they were pure.

Also, why do we no longer want to sit and think "what does this mean" or "why something does something do what it does". My opinion would be that sin does not want us to find truth and be truly happy, so it tells us lies that make us think we will be happy if we keep doing what we are already doing.

Things That Intriqued Me in Chapters 7 and 8

I was disappointed that Huck fell asleep when he was about to shoot Pap and instead of shooting him he woke up when Pap was saying "Git up!" Whacha doing with the gun?"


I thought he should have shot him because Pap was a druken, mean person who beat his son Huck nearly every night.

I thought it was interesting that Huck made it look like he had actually been killed by robbers to escape Pap, but I'm also interested in how he could have hunted the boar and chopped the door down and got the canoe out and the supplies needed for the journey and in about four and a half hours. I found that intriguing that he could manage all that in so little time.

Fighting for Freedom

Freedom isn't free unless you go back to the very beginning before Adam sinned. Freedom was free until Adam sinned then man quarrelled and fought with each other. Freedom came at a price because of man's sinful desire for power over each other. Freedom was fought for by words or by actions. If you look at countries that were enslaved or oppressed, they fought for their freedom. This goes back to Greek and Roman days. When the Greeks were oppressed by the Persians they fought and won their freedom until they were conquered by the Romans. In Rome's early days groups of barbarians from the north tried to conquer them, but they fought for their freedom and won. The fight for freedom is still going on today. If you look at Taiwan, they fought for their freedom from China. Some in their country want to seperate from China, but some want China to rule them. China is still oppressing them through words in government. They are still fighting politically for their freedom. So freedom to me is a difficult thing to define, but this is my understanding of it.
