Essay i wrote from school....
I say things I know I shouldn't say and do things I know I shouldn't do. I judge I assume I stereotype I lie I cheat. Because I am human. And, sadly, you are human to stop judging on content and judge on concept, because the reason behind the actions are more important than the actions themselves.After all the road to hell is paved with good intentions, but what does that make the road to heaven?
You don't know? Well neither do I. The truth is that there isn't truth, and figuring that out is the first step to figuring ourselves out, which is the first step to nothing. Really, all there is to figure out is that there's nothing to figure out.
Who am I? Well, that's a good question and I don't know the answer. Who are you? That's an even better question and you don't know either.You get your life all lined up just the way you like it and then something beyond your control comes along and bumps you off center. How nice it would be if you could get everything just the way you want it and say, 'Okay, now, stay like this.' But nothing stays the same.
For example, you grow up and you make friends then those friends move on and you lose those friends you go to college get yourself a degree, meet your significant other, fall in love then you get married after that you'll have a family and then you lose track of people, meet new ones, and sometimes you ask yourself why.
But all I can tell you is that every single experience you go through like this changed you in some way. Every new person who comes into your life changes you. Every moral dilemma or emotional experience you come up against changes you. It's your job to decide how. That is how character is developed.
Lifes also about who you love and who you hurt. It's about how you feel about yourself. It's about trust, happiness and compassion. It's about sticking up for your friends and replacing inner hate with love. Life is about avoiding jealousy, overcoming ignorance and building confidence. It's about what you say and what you mean. It's about seeing people for who they are and not what they have. Most of all, it is about choosing to use your life to touch someone else's in a way that could never have been achieved otherwise.
During my life pain became such a big part of it that i expected for it to always be there. I could'nt have even remembered a time in my life when it wasn't.But one day i felt something else.Something that almost felt wrong. And at that moment i realized i was happy for the first time in a very long time.
Everyone regrets mistakes that they've made some are small like when you do a bad thing for a good reason.Some of us fight because of the regret we have with the past and sometimes we cover up the regret by swearing to change the wrong ways.But the biggest regrets in life our the ones in which we didn't do, like the things we didn't say or the certain things we should have done but didnt do especially when we can see the darkness surrounding around us.
The saddest people I've ever met in life are the ones who don't care deeply about anything at all. Passion and satisfaction go hand in hand. And without them, happiness is only temporary because there's nothing to make it last. I love to hear people talk about what they're most passionate about, because that's when you see the person at their best.
Being happy does'nt mean that everything is perfect. It means you've decided to live life despite its imperfections. But i'm afraid of not having enough time, not enough time to understand people, how they really are, or even to be understood myself. I'm afraid of quick judgments and mistakes that everybody makes. you can't fix them without time.. I'm afraid of seeing snapshots instead of movies.
Through the years one of the important things in life that i've had to learn is not to be bitter over life's disappointments and to let go of the past and to not blame others because of the mistakes that oneself has made and recognize that every day won't be sunny.When i find myself lost in despair i remember its only in the night that you see stars and the stars is what leads you back home.
Also the good you do today people will often forget tommorow. You may live giving the world the best you have and it may never be enough but see the conclusion is only between you and it will always be you. Our thoughts are someone elses opinions.All successful people are big dreamers they dream
Happiness will never come to those who fail to pay attention and appreciate what they already have i recently had to realize that no matter what you go through or what troubles you may have had in the past they're are far more greater ones and when i realized that it impacted my life for the better.
As you grow old, you adapt many truths into your life. You discover things that you believe more than anything. Something that guides the way you think, walk, talk, and eat your food. They affect your choices; the things you accept and deny; the honesty we continously reject. The things we agree and disagree with. These things are the very root of our souls and the basis of our life.
