READING TIMES 4/14

Welcome Back to Blogging! For 4/14

If you are in a position of power, you are happy.

I neither disagree nor agree with this statement. A power position to me isn't something that I want very badly. So if there is someone who wants that position, I would be more than happy taking the follower position. In the play Macbeth I think that the way the witches are saying it to Macbeth and Banquo it sounds like it will all come easily, without much confrontation, and that once Macbeth achieves these statuses he will be happy. 

Ambition is a positive, desirable trait in a person.

I disagree with this because being ambitious isn't always good. For example, if someone was ambitious and they were doing something wrong then why would you want a person working hard at something bad. In Macbeth, Macbeth is ambitious at achieving what the witches said would happen. And he ends up killing many many people.
