On Pain

I have always heard that pain is all mental. Any time i get pain, i always try to get rid of by thinking of something else, but it never works. I would love to get rid of certain pain, but I'm not sure how much good it would do. If i took away the pain of aches from muscles, i would probably push my muscles too hard, but then i could go a lot harder than I normally would. I want to feel no pain so i could get my body to its athletic potential. The only problem is that i would not want to go too far and break my body down. There are other pains too, like mental pains from loss of loved ones and friends, those are sometimes worse then the physical pain. Those are the pains that hit you the worst. When i was 9 I lost both my maternal great grandmother and my paternal grandfather on the same day. It was the most pain i felt in my life. It was like as if it broke me down physically and i couldn't do major physically activities it was so much pain and i didnt like it. I hope i never feel that pain again.

On Laws

I think that a good set of rules and laws can make a stabalized society. Certain things should have laws and somethings should be up to ones own free will. The point of laws should be for safety and protection, and order throughout the society.The difficulty with laws is to make sure that they don't interfere with peoples rights. Laws need to protect peoples freedoms. A law needs to be a sensible decision that is for the better of the people. A law that does not do people good is an injustice within itself.

On Joy & Sorrow

Joy and Sorrow. Joy and sorrow are opposites and they use each other to effect each other. The more sorrow that one feels the more joy they can feel in the end. It is like the theory of ying and yang, that opposites fuel each other. There are lots of joy but there is only one true joy, and that is love. There are lots of sorrow but there is only one true sorrow, and that is loss. These true things can cause the real pain and real happiness of life. The lowest lows create the highest highs and vice versa. My greatest pain was losing my grandfather and great-grandmother on the same day. My greatest joy was my parents bringing home my baby sister from the hospitals. The highest of highs and the lowest of lows shape us and those are the moments that show who people are.

Prompt #19

I like giving things. When I give things to other people, I always feel happy or warmth inside. What I like even better than giving things I like getting things.  Getting things is a great feeling because then I feel like I can amuse myself for a long time. Because of my ADD, I always am looking for something to entertain myself. It is just something that I do. When I got my Xbox, I was really excited because I knew it was something that would be able to entertain me for a long time. One of the big things in Judaism is called "tzedakah". It is charity, and there are ten ways of tzedakah. The number one way is to give to someone to prevent them from getting poor. This is important because one time I gave was for my bar- mitzvah project. I donated 1000 books to local schools and hospitals that were in need. It is a time I felt good about giving. in the books and on the inside cover, I put my name and who it was donated from, and every now and then I see one of my books floating around and I always get a smile on my face.

Like the song above shows, love has its ups and down. Countless people have tried to capture love and I don't know what love feels like, but out of what I have been told, love is undefinable and you only really know what it is after you have experienced it. Love is something that happens and I believe once it happens that you will not have a care for other things except for you and your lover. It is the ultimate happiness and nothing surpasses it.
