Benjamin Franklin gained the insight that the effort of seeking a good life was more important than actual achievement of perfection.  He found that happiness and fulfillment came through his dedicated efforts.

When Ben Franklin was a young man of 20, he set out on his goal of achieving perfecion.  In his words:  “I conceiv’d the bold and arduous project of arriving at moral perfection. I wish’d to live without committing any fault at any time.”   He created a list of thirteen virtues to which to devote himself, such as industriousness, sincerity and moderation.     Franklin kept with him a small recording book, with a chart for each of his virtue-oriented goals.  He would evaluate himself each day and mark any time he violated one of the virtues.  His goal was to get the number of bad marks in his book down to zero and thus be living a "clean" life.  He never got through a day completely "clean," without violating one or another virtue in some way.   But he said of the project: “Tho’ I never arrived at the perfection I had been so ambitious of obtaining, … yet I was, by the endeavour, a better and a happier man than I otherwise should have been.”

Which event was the first to cause tension between the Soviet Union and President Kennedy?
SashulF [63]

<em>B. Soviet building of the Berlin Wall.</em>

Explanation:

After World War II ended, Germany got split up amongst the Allied powers. The United States, France, and Great Britain got West Germany, while the Soviet Union got East Germany.

The Soviet Union centered around communism, so East Germany had a communist government. Many Germans realized they did not want to obey and live under this government and wanted to flee. East Germans started leaving and moving to West Germany.

Over time, East Germany started to become fearful that too many people were leaving and decided they needed to do something about it. They built the Berlin Wall that was heavily guarded and hundreds of people ended up dying trying to get through.

This was the first cause of tension between the Soviet Union and President Kennedy. Both John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan gave speeches about the wall and how horrible it was.
