Thoughts!

I have two things to write about this week. My first thing is I cannot wait until Easter because I can have ICE-CREAM!!!! I gave up ice-cream for Lent because I did not think it would be THAT hard and I really like it. I was wrong, when I went home for Spring Break ice-cream was everywhere I turned.


My second thing is I really have nothing to write about so I am going to write about what I am thinking. Someone mentioned to me once why do people only care about their self and not a group as a whole? I started to think about it and I have no idea. Maybe it is because people are self-centered. People only think about their self because when we are little we are taught that we should stick up for our self, do not tell on others, and learn how to be independent. Because of that people are more worried about their self and not the well being of others. I think it is also part of our society. In the media, specially on TV, all the stars really do it worry about who they are going to date, what other people think about them, their status, etc. Maybe media portrays that because that is what people really think. Think about it, when we are little all we see on TV and movies are super heroes and when we are little we want to group up and be a power ranger or Superman or Wonder Woman or Batman. Society is influenced by what they see. I think that is part of what is wrong with the world today.


It is hard to find people who will give without wanting anything in return. All people care about is what can you do for me. Think about it, that is how President’s campaign, companies advertise, people pick who their friends are, etc. I just hope that one day people will see that it is more important to give and not expect anything in return because that is Love! People need to learn how to love one another. Love is more than just how you feel towards a boyfriend/girlfriend is it respect, kindness, civility, humility, and forgiveness towards each other. This can mean towards other countries too. I think people have a hard time letting all their feelings go toward something not stable (such as a person) because they are afraid of getting hurt. Letting feelings go is the same as placing trust. People have a hard time trusting and believing something that is not proven. Trust and belief go hand in hand. I think people care about their self and not a group as a whole because people are brought up that way and are scared to let go and get hurt, but if they can be tough and not put anything in to lose, then no problem.
