One’s philosophy of life is very much motivated by one’s purpose and eventual goal in life, and I feel there is no “right” or “wrong” philosophy. However, the controversy of one such as “if you feel good, do it” is apparent and I will expound its pros and cons in this essay.

For one, this philosophy makes all the laws Man has established become obsolete.
