Maybe we are too rich…
I was watching television awhile back and someone mentioned how the United States is too rich. They were talking about how there are people in other countries that are poor and do not have food and how we have charities for them. They stated that even though we have these charities set up, these people are still dying of starvation and from diseases because the charities aren’t making enough money, yet the United States have game shows that are willing giving people who are obviously not poor the chance to win a thousand to a million dollars. The speaker then said that if we have all this money to give away, then why aren’t we giving it to people who truly need it.
This really made me think, are we really that selfish? It is not right that we waste money on people who do not need it, yet there are starving and dying people out there that we could easily use the money to feed and give shelter to.
Give me credit!!
Whenever you read quotes or do research for something, you are almost always expected to give credit to those who wrote and/or said the phrase, quote, lyric, what have you. Yet, I don’t really understand why. Even if you do give someone credit, it really doesn’t mean that that person was the original creator of whatever you are giving them credit for. I believe that all ideas or thoughts that have been created have been thought up before. That everything has happened before. Not like deja-vu, but someone, somewhere may have had the same idea, phrase, whatever, yet did not get any credit what-so-ever because they weren’t as “famous” or “mainstream” as the person credited. To me, it’s not truly fair. I don’t believe that we should have the need to give credit for something as small as something someone said or thought. You should only give credit to those who did something, like inventors or people who have helped things like cure diseases.
Feeling a little odd
I have this problem. I checked my messages on myspace today and found that one of my good guy friends messaged me. The subject of the message stated important, so I was curious and opened it quickly. Now, I have to clarify that he and I both have separate relationships. Although we both have our relationships, we both joke around acting as if we would do stuff with each other. Back to the message, the message read, would you really consider having an affair with me. This message bothers me. Never have I ever been serious about anything that we’ve ever talked about. It bothers me more, that he might be thinking about cheating on his girlfriend and my current boyfriend, used to be one of his good friends. So why would he want to do that to either one of them?
What draws people to temptation? What causes people to thinking that cheating is right? What makes them think that they would never be caught?
I never understood the idea of cheating. Why be with someone, if you’re just wanting to be with someone else? Why don’t you just break up with the person, especially if it’s obvious that the person you are considering the affair with is interested in you? Why not just make a relationship with them instead of hurting someone? I don’t like people who cheat, and the message he sent me, has made me see him in a completely different way. I don’t know how our friendship is going to be now.
The Search for a Career
Again I sit here worrying about what do with my life. I hope to be a photographer later in my life. My problem, is that I fear that I won’t succeed. I’m so scared that I’m not going to do well in life.
Everyone seems so calm and cool about things. I just don’t understand how they can’t be freaking out like I am. I can hardly handle the idea of getting a job of my own.
Almost everyone I know is so excited about graduating and getting out to start their lives. Me, I want to graduate, yet at the same time, I want to stay in high school forever.
The thought of moving away also scares me. I don’t want to leave my mom. I don’t know if I could survive without her, which is not good.
Anyone know what I could do to help me get over my fears?
Any suggestions on what could be a good job for a seventeen year old besides anything in fast food? I don’t want to ever work in fast food, but so far that’s all I’m finding. Someone please help!!
Story of a Broken Heart
Why is it, one of the worst possible pains you could ever experience is a broken heart?
People’s lives get destroyed from just the loss of someone they love…
What makes us want to be in relationships when we are scared to death of getting hurt again?
I just don’t understand.
Even when you think you’ve moved on…you could possibly be with another person for a few months…but that one person that broke your heart calls and says one little thing…it seems your heart gets broken all over again.
It bothers me that someone could have so much control over your emotions…even somewhat your life.
Ask for a donation?
New thought.
Whenever I went trick-or-treating last year, I brought a UNI-CEF box for donations. Well, I learned that not many people were interested in donating any of their money for a good cause. Yet, I noticed, more than anything, that the only time people did not want to donate was when I asked for the donation. Whenever I gave up on asking for donations and just went around getting candy, people would see the box and offer their donation.
What’s wrong with this picture?
Why aren’t people donating when asked, but feel happy to donate when not bothered by someone asking?
The meaning of rape…
The definition of rape…
any act of sexual intercourse that is forced upon a person.
to force to have sexual intercourse
All the time, the news states something about someone getting raped. The way I see it, most teenage girls are in some form raped. The reason I think this is because, most teenage girls are pressured into having sex with a guy when most would prefer not to. I think that this is in some way a form of rape. The girls are being pressured into having sexual intercourse which is sort of like being forced.
This is just my opinion.
What do you think?
