I am trying to find a good argumentative topic. However, I decided to use Meditation, because I recently started using it. If it is not a good topic, I can adjust and change it. Writing has always been my weakness, and I’m willing to learn and always have room for improvement. I really appreciate any feedback.
Topic:
Should people make Meditation a habit?
To find peace in life, we must find what disrupts our equilibrium. Meditation can be part of our daily lives and help us find life’s meaning. The meaning of life or the purpose of life is to explore all the possibilities of ourselves, be conscious, and become more aware of existence. (Sadhguru, 2021)
