The best things in the world can be defined as those things that humans could necessarily live without, but the world would be worse off if those things didn’t exist. There are a large variety of things we could live without like computers, cars, airplanes, science and math; but if we didn’t have these, life would be much harder. I only present two that are of great importance to me.
One of the best things that exist in this world is bread & grains. Almost every human on earth, no matter what culture or background, eats bread & grains. They are the staple crop of life; if one thinks, one could not imagine a world without bread & grain products. If the world was without bread & grain products, there would be no pizza, no pasta, no macaroni & cheese, no rice, no sandwiches, no cereal, no shrimp fried rice, no fried foods, no donuts! Since bread & grain products are relatively abundant and cheap, people in the United States do not necessarily know the value of bread. We take it for granted that every meal that we eat has some bread & grain products in it. It is true that the best things in life are free (or relatively cheap). More people appreciate jewelry than they do bread & grain products; but if they had to make a choice about having only one of these in the world, a rational person would choose bread & grain products.
Another one of the best things that exist in the world is pleasure. Pleasure is the state or feeling of being pleased, and everyone wants to be pleased. Pleasure could be a number of good and bad things. For example someone can get pleasure from molesting children, and someone could get pleasure from watching their favorite sports team win a game. Now the former may not be morally accepted by society, but it is still a form of pleasure. Pleasure is all about what the individual thinks is pleasurable. It is great to feel pleasure, no matter what one believes is pleasurable. Some things that make me feel pleasure are music, comedy, and warmth. A world without pleasure is unimaginable. Just think if one could not find pleasure in anything. If pleasure did not exist music would not be music, it would just be noise. When it came to eating, everyone would eat enough just to live, and there would be no fat people. If there was no pleasure, then the human race wouldn’t be as large in population; sex is pleasure, and babies are the result of sex. If humans did not find pleasure in the act, then the birthrate would go down since a substantial amount of births are not planned. The only people having sex would be the ones who cared about the longevity of the human race.
I am glad that I can take pleasure in eating bread & grain products, because pleasure and starches do exist in this world.
