Mother & Daughter

I love mommy....she's actually just left for surgery this morning and I hope everything goes okay.
My mom is the hardest worker and loving person I know. She would do anything for me. My mom made sure that my brothers and I had a better life than her when she was a kid. I don't have a relationship with my farther so she plays both roles in my life. She would sacrifice anything for her kids and thats what I love.

Now that i think about it I know i should be nicer to my mom... its not that im like a horrible kid or anything or a troublemaker... but maybe i should let her know that i appreciate everything that she has done for me.

ANYWAY. me and my mom have a really good relationship. I'm her only daughter so i was always really spoiled in my family. I try to tell my mom everything..... well some stuff... she knows my personality the best and she knows about any guy that I like, she knows the people i don't like and other stuff.

Thats it.

How Do I Know What I Know

I know what I know from experiences and what people have taught me.
 Everything that I have gone through, all my mistakes and successful moments have all shaped me as a person, as well as everything that my parents/teachers have taught me.
Sooo Basically all my knowledge has been given to me from personal things and people who have taught me lessons in life.
However, there is the option not to take in any knowledge that is being provided to you. I have done this and I am sure everyone has. For example.....If you have been taught your whole life that God exists and you do not want to believe this....then you do not have to.
Sooo I know what I know from things that I want to know? Or I know what i know from things that I find true...
I don't really know...... but I just only know what I know….. I know that what I’m writing probably doesn’t make sense. I know that if anybody reads this they’ll be really confused….I know that I am just typing to make it to 200 words, which I almost at.
SO IN CONCLUSION: I know what I know from experiences and what people have taught me.

Our Meaning

I think the purpose of us being on earth is nothing. Not nothing nothing.,but its whatever you want it to be. If I think the purpose of my life is to become rich a and famous then that’s it. If I feel like my purpose is to help others then that’s it too.

I believe this is true because nobody has the right to tell other people what their purpose on earth is. Therefore, people can make their own meaning for it.

If we wonder why humans are on this earth and how we were put on here, then we are wasting our time. 

Your meaning is whatever you want to be. If you want to reach for the stars then go ahead. If you want to reach for nothing....... then that great for you.

For me…… I’m not sure what my meaning it yet…… and I am not going to waste my time trying to figure it out.  I feel like all of us will have an epiphany one day and realize why we were put in this earth.

I believe that all of us do have a purpose. It is your choice if you want to figure it out or not.

God in 2010

I've noticed that a lot of people these days don't believe in God.

I always ask my friends what do they think about God now days. The majority of them say there isn't one but there is a higher place when we die. Some of them say there is no Jesus but yea sure there is a God. 

In time everything changes. 

For example, back then many families or a culture made people believe in what they thought was true. In modern times people are more tolerant and respectful to what you believe in. People also aren't forcing you to practice a certain religion because Americans are free to worship whomever they want.

Basically because of this people can say, "There is no God," more comfortably. 

There is no one pressuring you, usually, to become part of a religion many people are open-minded and respect your choice. Also God is and will always be a questioning topic and honestly some people don’t care, which makes it easier for them to say that God doesn't exist

As time goes by I believe that views on God will eventually diminish. This is because everyone always questions, nobody knows what to believe, and in my opinion I feel like it’s easier for someone to say that they don't believe in a God then to try to convince someone that there is one. 

In a Sum, either you believe in a God and your cool with that, or you don't believe in anything. In 2010 the atheist level has defiantly risen and I feel as if it will get even higher as time goes on.

Candide

Candides punishments do not fit the crime. I feel as if this whole book is exaggerated , and that is what makes it a parody. The first unfair punishment was when he got banished from the castle. He was just "experimenting" with Cunégonde. He got kicked out into the real world not knowing anything about it. How could you do that to the guy? Then the next thing that comes to my mind is when Candides skin is basically ripped  from his body because he runs the gauntlet twice. A gauntlet is when u walk and people like throw weapons at you. Who does that? He got this punishment because he decided to take a walk, and he didn't know what the consequences were. That is so tragic and disgusting.  I kind of feel bad for Candide because he doesn't know any better. He lived in his own happy bubble and all of sudden somebody popped it and he had to face reality. The thing that sucks is that he has to face all of these tragic beatings and his new brutal life out of no where. I'm not saying Candide should get special treatment because of his situation, but someone should give this guy a break because he doesn't know anything.
