Our Societies Economy

Our economy is so ridiculously messed up that it seams like it is beyond repair. We have to many white color jobs within the United States. In order to change our economy, we should start by bringing back factories to the US. Labor may be more expensive here in the States but we could really use the jobs. Plus by closing down factories in other countries, we will stop exploiting and taking advantage of citizens from other countries. Just because labor costs are less expensive, doesn't make it okay. Big time corporate CEO's don't care about the health or well being of people in other countries though. All they care about is how they are going to make their next million the cheapest and fastest way possible. In order to change our society, we must first start by changing ourselves.

US also imports way to much, and doesn't do enough exporting. You wonder why all our clothing and material objects in general say "Made in China." Seams as if China basically owns US.

Change of Perception "Tuesdays with Morrie"

This book was absolutely amazing, inspiring and heart warming. The strongest message that I felt that Morrie was trying to teach was: To be grateful for what you have, because you never know when you're going to be gone.

I totally agreed with Morrie when he said that people in our society put to much meaning to the wrong things in life, such as material objects.

"That my consciousness goes on... That I'm part of the universe"(199)

This quote was so powerful. It really reached out to me. Mind is still mind even after death. Just as water is still water even if you break the cup.

I recommend others to read this book. It will most likely change your perception on life. I know it did mine.

My Recipe for a Meaningful Life

When it comes to living a meaningful life, I feel that one should first start off by being themselves. Instead of being someone you're not, just to fit in with that supposedly "cool" group. I know from experience. When I was younger I tried to fit into a group that was not me. I felt out of place and could not flourish into the person I wanted to be. So my advise would be, be yourself and you will fall into the group that suits you. Surround yourself with people that are going to take you for who you are and not judge you for every flaw you make, because life's a journey that's bound for mistakes.

Find something that drives you, something that you are passionate for. Mine would be music. Without my passion for music, I'm not even sure who I would be today. Take music away, my life turns into a life without meaning. That's how important music is to me.

Don't live your life in fear of dying or you will never live happy, instead embrace death because it's only a mere change of reality.

"Cirque Du Freak"

 

Cirque Du Freak: A Living Nightmare written be Darren Shan, published by HarperCollins.

This book is about a boy named Darren Shan, yes I know, the main character of the book is the author of the book. The boy is just a ordinary kid who really likes spiders, which happens to get him into some trouble, that will change the course of his entire life. Darren and a group of his friends find a flyer of this freak show called Cirque Du Freak, hints the name of the book. They think it looks exciting and decide to go despite what horrible things their teacher tells them about it. You can only buy 2 tickets per flyer though. So the boys had to play a little game to see who went, since there is 4 of them. Steve is already one of the people going since he was the one who got the flyer back from their teacher. Steve is Darren's best friend. Since Darren is the main character its obvious he wins the little game. Steve and Darren go to the broken down part of town to get the tickets and go to the show. Little does Darren know that hes going to end up seeing a beautiful spider, that he must have. Severe consequences will follow after the taking of Mr. Crepsley's spider Madam Octa, you'll have to read the book to find out. The theme of the book is boy vs. world.

I really enjoyed this book because it is dark and about a demented circus of extraordinary people, even a wolf man.  There's also a strong message within the book, that one choice you make can change your life for the worst. "In real life, bad things happen. People die. Fights are lost. Evil often wins."(6) "I'm sure there are people who came tonight thinking this was a joke. Maybe they thought our freaks would be people in masks, or harmless misfits. This is not so ! Every act you see tonight is real. Each performer is unique. And none are harmless."(61) The movie The Vampires Assistant was based on the Cirque Du Freak books, but the movie was terrible. The movie tried to combine book 1 with 2, which didn't work out to well. They changed to much within the movie to the point where it was almost nothing like the book. This book made me realize that their are just somethings in life that are truly out of your control, and that there are severe reactions to your careless actions, so think of the possibilities before you act.

Growth

The feeling you get from a courageous act, taking that possibility, throwing yourself into the open. Spirits purist form as you. Then the admire and awe from the essence that is the audiance. Growth is here everday, these risks I take, are in which I experiance it. Grateful I am, for the infinite.

Spirit

across the galaxy and beyond, bound by no limit

free to sore where ever, just like a bird

Beautiful and loving, wise and amazing, awing in every possible way

whole, complete and infinite

Life itself...
