Thesis
1. Mankind is not inherently good because humans do not have a definitive, universal definition of what "good" is, nor the ability to be good.
2. The universe will not "make it happen" if one is not willing to commit to hard work and responsible actions to get their decision to fulfill their desire.
3. Multiple sources synthesis to provide multiple points in an argument, strengthening it and making it easier to understand.
