<u>Answer:</u>

According to Epicurus people need to have faith on themselves and avoid distrust or distress of sin, people need to focus on "karma" to be happy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Epicurus argued that people would better practice religion by leading a life of self-sufficiency surrounded by friends. He explained that the source of all human neurosis is fear of death and a propensity for individuals to believe that death is going to be horrible and painful, which he believed causes massive distress, self-protective behaviors and hypocrisy.

The aim of philosophy for Epicurus has been to help individuals achieve a happy, peaceful life represented by ataraxia (peace and freedom from fear) and aponia (painlessness). He explained that humans behave ethically not because gods threaten or honor people for their beliefs, but because amoral behavior would stress them with shame and discourage them from achieving ataraxia.

What inference can we make from Oedipus’s following line: “This polluting stain I will remove, not for some distant friend, but
Margaret [11]

The correct answer is Oedipus makes decisions based on the will of the gods.

Indeed, at this point in the plot, the Kingdom of Thebes has fallen to some kind of plague that pollutes the people and the fields, causing starvation. He has a prophet consult the Oracle of Apollo to see what can be done and the prophet comes back with an injunction, not a prophecy to find Laius’ killer.

Of course, Oedipus states that “finding Lauis’ murderer is self-serving” but in the sense that he is one with his people and that his people’s welfare is his own. The only unambiguous choice is that Oedipus makes decisions not based on scientific or criminal research but on his religious beliefs and these command that the will of the gods be obeyed at all times.

President Franklin Roosevelt MOST LIKELY supported Lawrence Camp in the Senate race against Walter George and Eugene Talmadge in
NNADVOKAT [17]
<span>because he (Walter George) had influence in Congress. Senator Walter George's opposition to his policies (New Deal ideas) could hit the rock since he's influential in Congress. George had supported several of the earlier New Deal policies but he opposed Franklin Roosevelt's nomination for president in 1932. He was, however, opposed to several of Roosevelt's policy in his second term including rigorous regulation of utility companies, the Wealth Tax Acts—primarily on government reorganization and a wages and hours bill. So he had to convince the U.S. district attorney in Atlanta—Lawrence Camp—to run against George, hoping to use his presidential influence and his popularity in Georgia to help Camp win.</span>
