Earlier, I thought it would be better to speak out and risk punishment to change what's wrong. However as I read the book, my opinion started to change. In the book, I realized how strong the power can be. It would take just a flick of a finger to order a murder to whom they think is a problem. Even if I try to speak out, I think I would be dead before I even try to make people understand the problem with the new rules, laws or public policy. It would be because the person who created the rules would be really powerful. People without the power wouldn't be able to create rules and laws for the citizens. People who aren't scared of death would try to speak out but most people would be scared of death and would try to avoid it. There would be about one person out of hundred who would volunteer to risk their lives and speak out. As I said, I thought that I should really speak out for the unfairness about the rules and laws but as I read the book, my opinion had changed and I wouldn't really be able to speak and risk my life. Even if I decide to, it would take a lot of courage and great effort.

BISP test ch.1-8
If you disagree with a rule, law, or public policy, it is better to remain silent than to speak out and risk punishment.

Good Life
Living a good life has plenty of meanings. It means to be loyal to the religion you believe in, or to reach your life's destination or to help others and be respected. They are all quite different in meanings and it isn't related to one another. They have a specific meaning about what you're doing in the process of living a good life.
Most of the people in the world have a religion or a god that they follow or worship. Also, profuse of them consider living a good life is to be loyal to their gods and make them delighted. Some of them would even be prepared to risk their life to be loyal and to be faithful. To those who believe in any kind religions think that they will be honored and would be able to live in a luxury and extreme comfort if they are just loyal to their gods while they are mortal. As a Christian myself, I wouldn't disagree but I would disagree if living a good life means to only worship the gods until our death. Still most people would consider living a good life if they are just loyal and faithful.
To reach your life's destination could possibly be the most difficult thing in your life. For example, if someone desired to reach the moon and they finally did, that would mean that you reached your life's destination. However, reaching the moon isn't as easy as you think. It's same for all of us. It wouldn't be named life's destination if it was possible everytime whenver you want. However, when you finally reach your goal, you would be delighted to death and wouldn't have any regrets if you die. That's why reaching your life's destination could be considered as fulfilling the job of living a good life.
To be rich enough or to be smart enough to help others in a bad situation and be respected is not an easy task for anyone. You would need a lot of effort and I am sure it wouldn't be very smooth and easy. Certainly, you haven't seen a person helping a lot of others at the same time and be respected. You would need to study hard and try your best to reach the goal. That's why that is really difficult for all of us. It may sound like something that you can do when you're just lying down and resting, but resting would be like a dream if you're ambition is to help profuse of others.
