Shirley,
I liked how you asked the question "Are we free?" then answered it according to what you believe. I though that your thoughts about about everyone having "a choice even if the options aren't to that person's favor." were interesting. I agree because we, in the end choose or decide what to do in the the situations we are put in and under certain circumstances even if it isn't in our favor. we have the freedom to choose and make the best of it. I thought that your ideas on human happiness were insight full because I got to read what you had to say and then compared it to my own thoughts on the topic. "The only happiness that can't be taken away is memories, relationships, and etc. These happiness are caused by other individuals and doesn't exist physically so it can't be taken away.' I believe that too. Happiness can't be taken away from you. I thought that maybe for this paragraph you could have maybe added something personal, like where does your happiness come from? What makes you happy and why? Overall I enjoyed reading your post.

Raven,

I liked how to summarized what the final part of Banach's lecture was about and then stated your thoughts on it. I especially liked what you had to say about our freedom as individuals in the last paragraph- “If we have limits we are not free” but I do think that some of the limits help to keep us sane." I agree , we have freedom to a certain extent. The "limitations" we have keep us from losing control. Which is why we have "higher powers" to offer us some advice in how to live our lives and manage our freedom accordingly. Good post.
