I believe that American Society is as fair as it can get. There are many things for example: immigration laws, and same sex marriage laws that would help shape American to be what it is. A free country. But it doesn’t always seem that way because we are tied down by certain laws that don’t let us be happy.

Sometimes crimes aren’t always justified. Whatever the crime might be. In most cases the poor man is left behind bars, while the rich man pays off bail and is left with a warning and continues to do as he pleases.

If there is enough proof that can support the person and show that it was an accident then yes, the crime should be punished differently. But there should still be some sort of punishment.

Age sometimes doesn’t really matter. Give a kid a lolly pop and he might do it. Kids are always looked at as the innocence of the world, but It isn’t always that way. There are many little kids that do bad things. Its obvious that a 5 year old doesn’t know any better and doesn’t even know what it means to commit a crime. I believe that by the age of 8 you should know better and know that you shouldn’t do certain things. As for being tried as an adult, I believe a reasonable age would be 15 or16.

About two years ago I had a very harsh argument with my father which ended horribly. Since then we have not spoken or seen each other. I guess our egos are too big that we haven’t even tried to contact one another. There are times I do wish to speak to him but I don’t. There is no way that I would forgive him for the unfair, hurtful things he said to me and my mom. No way. I’m his daughter and I should be given more respect. He had no right to say the things he said. The fair outcome would have been, him acting like an adult and answering yes or no the simple question I had. All I asked of him was to give a small amount of money In cooperation towards my sweet sixteen. That’s all, and he didn’t have to, we asked if he could and he went ballistic.

Is life “absurd”? In other words, does life make sense? YES. We were put on this earth to help it evolve. We are what make the earth keep going. We keep the cycle of reproduction and evolution ongoing. Humans build construct buildings, keep businesses running and reproduce, Plants and animals maintain the wild life.

Does life have a meaning or purpose? If so, what is it? How do you know this is the purpose of life? YES. Everyone is different yet we all seem to connect. We all have to do our part to keep earth alive as well as everything in it. Our main purpose in life would be to live reproduce to keep the species living. People shape the future. Just like the government. Whatever they decide to do now will effect the present and future. We make all the changes.

Was there a purpose (or essence) to life before you got here? Or did you exist before you purpose existed? YES. Before I existed I was a baby inside my mom’s womb and before that, I was my mother’s purpose of existence. My mom wanted to have a baby and planned to have me to start a family with my father. Or I could’ve been a unicorn in my past life who know???

Without a purpose or meaning to life, could there still be a reason to live? YES. We don’t need a purpose to live. What if we were created just to fill up the earth. To make it look busy and excited. Maybe we were created to search for our own purpose in life. Everyone follows their own dreams. There is no manual that we follow on how we should live our lives. You are the one to decide what path you take in life and what you make of it.

Does it matter whether or not there is a god or some higher, all powerful, all-knowing force that created and controls the universe? NO. I don’t think it matters because its not like we can see it/ them. We will never be for sure who/ what created us. So, might as well just appreciate that we are here and move on.

What happens to you when you die? Is there life after death? How do you know? I believe that once your dead, your dead. Does it really matter if you keep “living” after death? What do you live for, if you can live forever? Why would you want to? I don’t know. Resurrection. Nobody knows if you are going to be resurrected after you die. So why bother with the impossible.

Does it matter what happens after we die? Would you live your life differently if you knew you were never going to die? It doesn’t. You probably went even know you die when you are reborn. You’ll think that it’s the first time you were being born.

Is it possible to create your own meaning for life? YES. That’s what everybody does. Everybody is different. Someone can decide to be a criminal or a lawyer, A designer or a football player. Who knows? You know?

If you could create your own meaning or purpose for life. What would it be? YES. It would be to full fill complete happiness. To have no memory of any tragic event that occurred in my lifetime and go on in life being happy as can be successfully and emotionally. Off with the bad and on with the good, go to college, get married, start a family, have my dream house and car, save money, take vacations, have a room full of shoes, help the needy. That to me is the life.

            From the chapter “On Marriage” I chose the quotes: “You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.”, “But let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you.”, “Love one another but make not a bond of love.”, “Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of life can contain your hearts.” These quotes are intended to make the reader feel more captivated. I felt like he was trying to tell me that I shouldn’t always feel so dependent on another but still let the love be alive. In other words, let love run free but still has some self control and dignity. When in love, one must know their limits. Yes, you can be happy with someone and love them deeply but should you have to give them your all, or just a part, just a gesture? I believe that having space in between is very good in a relationship. Personally, I only see my boyfriend once, during the weekend. So, at the beginning of each week, i’m always looking forward to the end of the week when we get to see each other again. It makes you want to see the other with such great emotion that you probably wouldn’t feel if you were to see them everyday or very often. As much as I can say that Love can live and prosper, it can also die and wear out.

            Gibran’s overall definition of “Love” is that if it can unfold happiness, it may also unfold sadness. You should let love be as it is and not try to control it because love cannot be possessed. Gibran’s overall definition of “Marriage” is that it should be shared but not given completely between two. There should be space yet enough affection. To always be together but not too close, distance makes one another realize their true feelings and emotions.

            I absolutely agree with Gibran’s definition of love. I believe that there are times when you can give the other your all as a true sign of love, but its not something you should do all the time. There is such a thing as too much love.

Someone might want to try new things and might want to start a cyber-relationship just to try it. But you have to be careful with what you show and say to people you don’t really know.

Yes, there are many dangers to being in  a cyber-relationships. You never know who your talking to. They could just be playing games with you. And you can fall for someone online and then they end up not talking to you anymore. You can end up heart broken and emotional disturbed that it affects you really bad.

I wouldn’t be able to compare the two because I don’t have cyber relationship experience but from what ive heard, its very dangerous so I’d stick to the “real” relationships. I want to know who my man is and what im dealing with here.

Yes, they should have the same chance of working out. Besides, in the end, a relationship is a relashionship. There is no real way to love someone.

It can become very easy to feel that way. Since they don’t see each other and they only talk, they wouldn’t know whats happening when they are not around. You just have to know how to trust someone, I guess.

Well it depends, some people are nice and will understand why they kept that from them or why they lied about something. On the other hand some people will feel used or betrayed and the trust will completely go away or fade.

I don’t think so. Like it said, it’s a new way of communication with people. But then again a person can become addicted to talking to people on the internet and that wont be good for your mental health.

Society will only unfold to be what it has to be. If society gets worse its because there will be some positive outcome from it. For every wrong there is a right. Right? 

Yes, My older brother had a girlfriend that he met online. Her name was Roxane, and she lived in Texas. They were Cyber Dating for about 2 years. Yeah, I know? They had never seen each other in person, only through pictures and video. But they were madly In love. But all that rises can fall. She was suppose to end up coming from Texas to San Diego and lets say that she ended up not showing up. My brother felt very emotionally depressed for months because she never showed. But he eventually got over it.

I know I wont. I need to be able to see the person up close and personal. I love being hugged and kissed. I like to go hang out and experience new things with my significant other. I would feel very lonely without him near me.

            I believe that we can’t be absolutely sure that love is real. But there is some sort of unexplainable, indefinable feeling that makes people go crazy for each other.

At first you could be falling in love and not realize it until something big occurs and slaps you in the face. They’ll realize how you really feel and will act upon feeling.

            You always have the ability, the right to chose who you can love and be happy with. Nobody can neglect that right from you.

            Yes, falling in love is like a process. At first you don’t know it, and when you do know it you go crazy thinking if they are your soul mate and whether it will last forever or not.

            True love does exist. But, it doesn’t necessarily mean that that it will last forever. True love can end. It just meant that when they were together it was beautiful and they won’t ever forget one another.

            You can never be too sure that someone else loves you. You’ll know that they feel some sort of affection or liking towards you. But you can’t be too sure until the person shows you and confirms to you. Unless it’s some sort of action where love cannot be denied.

            I use to think that you couldn’t love two people at once. But it is possible. But if you think about it, you will always love one more than the other. But you won’t know who it is.

            There are many connections between love, romance and sex. One leads to another. Love can start as a simple affection shown towards one another. Then it turns into romance with passionate hugs and kisses. Then it results into having sex; a feeling of desire and pleasure towards one another.

            One can be blinded by love. They can be so deeply in love that they will only want to see the positive remarks in someone but deny and neglect the negative even when warmed or stroked.

            You should get more of both. You should get the same when you put in as well as what you get out. Personally, I put into love more than I get out of love sometimes.

            It is very possible for love to fade. Love is as fragile as a rose pedal. It can start out as a beautiful rose and if it is tampered with it can begin to fall apart and will be left with only a stem. Just how love can be born and live, it can die.

            Love is very powerful but not powerful enough to conquer all. It can conquer most but not all.

            Most men and women see love differently. Some men want to stick it out as “macho” where they don’t have to show their emotions to their love, they just have to tell them because they should already know that they love them. Women on the other hand feel that they should be shown frequently. When it comes to love, yes, I personally believe that women are the weaker sex. It’s not always that way. But it’s somewhat true.

            P.14 “P.S. As far as the white rabbit is concerned, it might be better to compare it to the whole universe. We who live here are microscopic insects existing deep down in the rabbit’s fur. But, philosophers are always trying to climb up in the fine hairs of the fur in order to stare right into the magician’s eyes.” In this part of the story, Sophie is wondering what is the best way to live. Planning everything and being prepared or living day by day expecting things to fall in place? Once again I know it is a very mysterious world because there are many things about this planet we urge to know. But, if it were important to have knowledge of how the world began and who the first people were we’d be born with this knowledge or we’d have it all passed down. Because we don’t have the answers to things, all we have are myths.

            P.15’THE ONLY THING WE REQUIRE TO BE GOOD PHILOSOPHERS IS THE FACULTY OF WONDER. Baby’s have this faculty. That is not surprising. After a few short months in the womb they slip out into a brand new reality. But as they grown up the faculty of wonder seems to diminish. Why is this? Do you know?” Sometimes people grow tired of wondering about things and not getting the answers they want or when they want them. That’s why as babies we wonder because the world is knew to us but, wont it always be new. New things are discovered everyday and there are still many things yet to be revealed. Sometimes a person’s faculty of wonder has not vanished its just on pause.
