Truth in this for myself is the simple things but not those sentimental things considered to make others happy such as family since i figure it as everything has the ability to make to you happy yet everything has the ability to break you down. So consider what makes you happy then limit it to the amount that allows it to not hurt so much when the disheartening part comes around. Values...things we consider right and wrong, well i understand certain my personal ones border on neutrality while taking sides every once in awhile. I believe there is a right and wrong to any situation and not many can disagree with this assumption. One specific historical event i take a particular side in is the holocaust with Hitler and the nazi's. I believe that they were right in what they did based solely on that we are taught if you do what you consider is right then you are correct in the matter. Well we are taught Alexander the Great who freed greece from the persian empire yet to do this he had to have killed many persians. Two different forces doing the same act with different reasons. Because Hitler killed specifically the jews make him evil? i doubt it. I would change the use of affirmative action in the United States. Affirmative action when it was passed was very useful, it was in a very hard time where the minorities did have a hard time getting work and education but in the current times its just become a nuisence and has caused the white male to become a minority himself. Universities must have a specific number of minorities and so do certain careers. I find this rediculous since affirmative action was used to create a minority middle class which it has done yet all it does now is hindering the white male community while giving minorities an unfair advantage. Society today has come to the point where things are decided not on merit,ability, nor capability but on color,gender, and who's more of a victim. This is shown through the government,media,universities, even jobs. Affirmative action is an example as well is the pathetic use of the showing how everyone believes they are a victim (shown in the "Blame Game" with John Stossel) ** Behavior: ** The behavior of keeping to one's self has become common, its come to the point where people walk by obvious abuse and wont step in on the early stages only when it becomes so overwhelming that they finally feel the need to step in. But then the complete o pposite there's people out there that have this incessant need to help others, it gets to the rediculous area where their own country is in a recession and they still ask for others to help other countries while the country they live off of is wilting.

 * Inspiration: **d in, took advantage of situation where he saw an oppritunity, and realised what was best for the state even though others said he was evil.

10 years from now i cant really say what id be doing or what it would be like since i see many variations of how my life could play out and saying how i would want it to happen would just give myself a false realisation of the future.
