<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 are advantages and disadvantages of permanent settlements
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer: Advantages:

1. The peasants condition improved and there was an

improvement in agriculture.

2. It resulted in a political advantage to the English as

the landlords who became the owners of the land became true supporters of the

English government.

3. Permanent Settlement led to the modernisation of India in

the sphere of revenue system.

4. The English government did not have to fix the revenue

every year. The income of the government was fixed once for all.

5. A large number of employees were no longer needed for the

revenue administration of the company and could devote their services to other

departments of the company.

But some scholars say that the permanent settlement had many

disadvantages:  

1. It had an adverse affect on the income of the company as

the revenue was fixed on the low side due to lack of proper measurement.

2. The system was beneficial only for the landlords. The

condition of farmers did not improve and they continued to be the victims of harassments

by the landlord.

3. The landlords who were not able to pay the required

revenue, their land was sold off.

4. The landlords led a luxurious life and did not do anything

to improve agricultural produce.

5. The system created a special class of zamindars who were

loyal to the English this hurt the national feeling of the people.

Which person could be practicing Anabaptist
Dimas [21]
The term Anabaptist means "one who baptizes again". Anabaptists are Christians who rejected infant baptism in favor of believer's baptism.They believe that baptism can only be valid if the petitioner confesses his faith in Christ and is willing to be baptized. Since many of these Reformation Era Christians have already been baptized when they were infants, they opt to be rebaptized as believing Christians.This believer's baptism is opposed to infant baptism because infants are not able to make conscious decisions to be baptized or not. Thus baptismal candidate must make a confession of faith that is freely chosen before any baptismal could take place.
