Religion is something that people should figure out on their own. I don't actually agree with religion but my judging goes towards religions and not the people that believe in them. Any mentioning of a religion will more so annoy people than it will convert them. It is best to keep it to yourself for we all will find our beliefs without others mentioning theirs.
I notice quite a bit people trying to spread their religion, whether through a Facebook page or post, videos, or simply mentioning it, people like to spread their religion and get others to follow it as well. This isn't something I agree with at all. People can and should be whatever religion they want to believe but they should not spread it. If anyone wasn't sure of their religion it's up to them to find their way and for those sure about their spiritual beliefs, they are obviously not going to be converted simply because you talk about your religion as if it were fact.

I have understood for awhile that the education system of the United States is not great, not at all. It is of course not the worst but it has much to change before I would deem It great. The system should be more individually based rather than standardized. I have come up with some basic repercussions that seem to be able to work, but if I truly want to create a work a usable system then I have much thinking and research to do. (12:07) Respect is not something that I feel should ever be given unconditionally. Respect is something that is earned. I do not agree that you should unconditionally respect teachers, parents, elders, etc. While I don't feel they should have respect, I do believe all should show good image. Someone that does not deserve respect still does not deserve disrespect either. We ought to portray ourselves as kind, responsible, honest people even to those we may not respect. We have to know when the right times are to speak out and when are not. (12:13) (23:17)
I have had an entertaining and insightful day today. I do not have much time to write as of now but I shall likely come back to this post or create a new one elaborating more, but basically this is about change. Change is what rules our world, without change there is truly nothing, no way to move on or do anything new. Change is absolutely necessary, and whether it's a great change or small change, personal or worldly, it usually requires three steps. First, a thought. Second, the mention of that thought. And third, action. These steps sound simple, but how often do we truly think about it? Now that you actually are thinking about it, you might think twice the next time an idea comes to your mind. It may be worth mentioning to people so you might as well try (more than one person). Then, if it seems you should then you must act upon it. There are ideas, beliefs that I've had for a very long time that were changed today as well as something I've been struggling with I figured out today. This change and this finality came about because of first, much thought. Second, talking to my close friend about it. And now I shall act upon these insights I have gained. To change someone's mind is extremely hard to do. My mind being changed shows that with active listening it is very possible. (23:26) (21:07)
One of my personal dreams is to find true love. I recently finished reading a book (Legend by Marie Lu) and the book included a very strong romance between the two main characters. I've read passionate romance novels before and seen romance movies but the romance between these two characters, Day and June, is a romance stronger than I've ever read about before. The romance between these two is one that's almost inseparable but with the same doubts most people would have, it's passionate beyond belief but realistic as well. The love they have for each other is almost unfathomable, it's so strong. And the moments they have together add even more to the passion, love, and romance between the two of them. This is the type of relationship I would like, in fact I feel being in a relationship that isn't like this is completely unfair to each of the participants in the relationship. To have romance like this, to be with someone that is this passionate for me as well as feeling the same way for them would be absolute joy. I don't believe there is any feeling that equals love, not that equals the pain of lost love or of the joy of true, passionate love. That is what I want. I feel people should not settle for a love that isn't true or extremely passionate, and I know my next step in becoming who I want to is to stop being a hypocrite with this. Staying positive is the best thing you can do, always. If sadness or anger does get to you there is nothing wrong with that, but doing your best to stay positive will help out in the long wrong as well as immediately. You will find that your emotions are much more under your control than you think.
Recently an item of mine was stolen, an iPad. There is not any sentimental value in the iPad for me but it was a tool that I used to aid in my education. I do not have a lot of money and so I will struggle to get another tool such as the iPad again, but I did not let negative emotions control me. I did naturally feel worried, sad, confused, and angry, I did not, however, allow these emotions to be in control. A natural thing for me to do in the past would be to drown myself in despair and sulk for days or longer; I did not do that this time. I thought about what I must now do to still further my education without the iPad, I conjured a plan on how to possibly gain a new tablet, and I remained positive. I also took this negative experience and tried to make every positive outcome from it that I could. This was most definitely a step in the right direction for me. I now know that I can contain my emotions after a negative occurrence and I had even turned it into a positive one in many ways. This is a step forward for me, this is a step closer to me becoming who I want to be. While I made the theft of my iPad into a positive outcome I do not, however, condone theft of any kind. Possessions that are ours, that we earn, should not be taken from us, nor do people that do not earn them deserve to use them. Deserving is an interesting concept, though. When you think about it, how many people throughout history have gotten what they deserved, positive or negative? I do not believe in karma for that very reason; good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to those of us that are good. The only thing we can do is remain good and not let bad occurrences get in our way. (18:00) Love. What is love? Who deserves love? How can we be sure if we are feeling love? How are we sure of who we love? Well, I love everyone. I love everything. Everything living I feel deserves love. Yes, there are people that commit crimes and people that are absolutely horrible; I dislike those people, but who is to say that they don't deserve love? They deserve the love that all living things deserve, but no more.
There are levels of love. The lowest of love would be that which is unconditional for all living creatures, the love for them for many reasons such as loving them even if they are not a good person could lead to them becoming better. Love for them because it is the right thing to do, to love everyone. While I feel everyone should be loved this does not mean crimes should go without punishment. This low form of love is necessary, I feel. But can such a strong emotion as love truly ever be considered "low?" Then, what about romantic love? To long for someone, to want to be with them at all times, to have a desire, a hunger for that person. To risk everything for them, to defend them, to stand by them, to watch and guard them. Love is to be one with that person, for if anything happen to them the pain they bear will be with you as well. If the person you love were to die then you would also be dead, inside, at least a part of you would be, for they were that part of you. Can or should you romantically love only one person? I don't think so. If you happen to fall for more than one person why should you be bound by a choice? Because society decides so? No, there is no problem in loving more than one. "Cheating" is the hiding of physical or emotional connection to someone other than your significant other, not loving someone else. |
