Honor

Honor is to be held with high respect. To me honor must be earned. It’s not something you can be born with. If a king is a tyrant, he may be in high power to in my opinion he is not honorable. 

Selfless acts are honorable, especially when one doesn’t expect recognition. Being honorable requires being humble. Someone searching for honor doing “selfless acts” for their own selfish reasons are not honorable. Its about doing the right thing when no one is looking.

Inspiration

Inspiration is what spawns’ creation in the mind. Absolutely anything could be inspiration. It could be a photo, a place, a quote; anything that gets you thinking in depth about a topic/idea. Many artists find inspiration from people or places, but it doesn’t stop there. Writers can be inspired too, by events, places, or someone’s life. Inspiration is limitless, yet different for everyone. Something that inspire one person will not inspire everyone, it all has to do with the way you think as a person. Inspiration is also a great way to get through whatever mind block you may be having. When you don’t know what to do its always a great idea to go out into the world and experience that’s that you can later bring back to whatever work your doing. When inspired work can be fun, because you’re being creative and involving something you enjoy.

Rejection

Rejection can be one of the most painful things for a human to go through. Nobody wants to be rejected. Whether it’s being rejected on a date, or not getting the job, or not making the team; rejection is hard. Its through rejection that we learn and grow though. People mature during the hard times not the walks in the park. The best way to take rejection is to look at why it happened. Did you not study enough, practice enough, prepare enough? Its through rejection that people can see what went wrong, and instead of being ignorant you can work on those things to improve as a person.

Power

Power can mean many different things. For instance, a car can be powerful or a superhero. It can also mean in charge and overseeing everyone. Power is a very dangerous thing to have. Those with leadership skills are able to have power and not abuse it. Those with power who don’t know how to handle it can let it go to their heads. This is an unpleasant situation for everyone involved, it causes tension and anger. Power should not be given to those who can’t handle it .

Pride

Pride is a sense of self accomplishment. Those who have pride in themselves accept who they are and are happy to express that. Pride isn’t just a feeling about yourself though. It can also have to do with skills or activities people participate in. Many people are proud that they volunteer, their abilities in sports, or music. Being proud of oneself proves the feeling of self-love. Which is mandatory in order to live a happy life. 

Many parents are proud of their children. When a child accomplishes something, the parent is just as excited as the child, because they are proud to have raised them that way. This makes them feel like a good parent and person; knowing they’re doing something right in life.

Mercy

Mercy is the ability to forgive those who you have the power to punish. Merciful people rend to live happier lives, because they aren’t so focused on vengeance. They tend to live their lives being able to let go of those who hurt them, in return they are more peaceful. Having mercy means not seeking revenge. Good hearted people typically show mercy because they are very empathetic. Their ability to out themselves sin someone else’s shoes allows them to not feel as much anger towards people; making it easier to show mercy.

Mercy is also shown in wars. By taking prisoners of war a country shows mercy on those who appose them and allow them to live, but this is only true when keeping them alive isn’t worse than dying. It’s no longer mercy if the prisoner is beat, tortured, etc. If more people showed mercy in the world there would be less violence, because people who have the ability to let go and not seek revenge.

Loneliness

Loneliness is living in a world of isolation even if you’re around people. It is not only a physical situation, but also an internal mental one. Someone who is lonely lacks human connection and understanding. Usually loneliness is accompanied by sadness, which is why it can become crippling for some. That’s why its so important to always be kind, you never know what someone is going through, and it’s always better to be part of the solution not the problem. by just reaching a hand out to someone in need it may be a slight inconvenience for you, but it can make a world of difference to someone else. Humans were made to be social it is not emotionally healthy to be isolated and alone.

Identity

To me identity is your sense of self. How ever you perceive yourself would be your identity. Identity can be linked with morals, ideas, beliefs, etc. All these things come together to create one person’s specific identity that is one of a kind. No two people have the same identity, it is unique to them. Some may act as something they’re not. these people are not showing their true identity, but none the less it is still there deep down. At some point in everyone's lives they hit a stage where they no longer care about what others say or thing, and they show off their true identity because they are proud of it.

Truth

Being truthful is a trait everyone knows they should have, but no one can be truthful all the time. Whether the you don’t want to admit the truth to yourself, or the truth could hurt someone’s feelings, we often avoid it, because we don’t want to hurt other people or ourselves.

The opposite of truth is lies, and while some are worse than others, we all lie, and if you say you don’t, you’re lying. We should always try to tell the truth, because in the end its easier than remembering a whole story. The truth may not be what you want to tell, but if you lie eventually the truth will come out and you’ll end up looking twice as bad.

Politics have turned to lies, with promises made that they know they can’t keep if they are elected and lying about character to attempt to seem like a good person who is in it for helping people.

If our world had more truth more people would get their feelings hurt, but in the end it would be for the better, we would no longer need to question everything we hear, and people would be more credible.

Love

Love is something humans seem to crave. Many people spend their whole loves looking for it, and put their faith in apps and websites to find it for them.

Whether it's to another person, a hobby, or a pet we are a social species that needs love to feel fulfilled by. It’s one of peoples main goals in life which is why they work so hard to achieve it.

Hope

Hope is what keeps us from going crazy in this world. Everyone has struggled in their life and without the hope of things getting better it's so easy to stay in a dark place. Hope can also bring together diverse people, through similar Hope's and dreams.

As a human race most of us have a similar hope that one day we will be able to live in peace, and once enough of us share this hope it can become a reality.

Justice

           The definition of justice is based on or behaving according to what is morally right and fair. This definition leaves justice really to be defined from person to person, because everyone has different morals. Our justice system today is based of a generical moral system that attempts to accommodate as many as possible, but still falls short in some areas.

           Many people like to critique todays justice system, but the fact of the matter is they can not please everyone and we need to learn how to accept that. It is impossible to please everyone and we all know this, so why do we expect so much out of the system. Some areas are corrupt this is true, but in every large industry there are flaws. Some police officers give out tickets to fill quotas not caring about the person its affecting, but that doesn’t mean there all like this. We see a similar situations in today’s medical field. While some doctors care about a patience well being and want the best from them, others care more about the paycheck. While this is unjust in my opinion some will argue they need to pay their bills too, and can’t just hand out medical care.

            We live in a free country where everyone is intitled to their own opinion. Meaning we all have right to think different things are just. If we don’t agree with something we have a right to try to change it, but if you have an unpopular opinion you can’t expect the world to change just for you.

Beauty

Beauty is different for everyone, and some people have incredibly different ideas of beauty. For some a rose bush is an incredibly beautiful thing, but others may no care for that a find something like a python beautiful. I believe we all have our own definition of beauty based on our passions. Someone who gardens may see a giant green house full of colorful plants and be in heaven, but someone interested architecture may be way more focused on the design of the structure containing what they see as only average plants.

As for me, I love challengers, and so when I look in my drive way at my car I’m over taken by its beauty.

Now when my sister looks at my car she sees it as something loud and bulky that takes up too much room in the driveway and wakes her up when I come home late, but thinks a piece of drift wood with a mermaid painted on it is priceless and she could look at it all day. Everyone’s idea of beauty differs, and we shouldn’t judge people based on what they find beautiful, they simple have an appreciation for something we don’t and that’s okay. Everyone is different in their own way.

Respect

       Respect to me has always meant treat others the way you want to be treated; the golden rule. While doing an ethics training for my new job they said something that confused me. "Don't assume everyone wants to be treated the way you do." This shows how over time the idea of respect and how we treat people have changed over time. Treating others the way you want to be treated isn't enough anymore to show respect. I assume they said this because in some situations people may be rude then say "I like being treated that way" which is just them trying to get away with being rude, but this has happened so much a huge corporation can no longer say to treat others like you want to be treated and this is ridiculous. 

       Many people believe respect is something that's earned and I can partially agree with that, but you have to give the person a chance to earn that, and so many people disrespect those around them for discriminatory reasons, which is just a waist of everyone's time, because it does nothing but hurt others with no gain for anyone else. I believe we are coming closer to a world were everyone can have respect for one another, but a percentage of people are holding that back for no other reason than selfishness and bitterness. For those of us who show every human being even the most basic amount of respect all we can do is is continue to do so and through that change the minds of others.

Fear

I’ve always found fear an interesting topic. The way as human beings we find many irrational things to be fearful of, when there are many other dangers we should be fearful of, but don’t think twice about. One fear nearly all of us have in common is death, it’s instinctive in all animals including humans that, given we don’t have any psychological conditions, we don’t want to die. What has always baffled me is how our fears almost never line up with the actual statistics. Many humans including myself are afraid of spiders, but the chances of a person dying from a spider bite is 1 in 50 million, yet I love driving my challenger everyday and my chances of dying from driving are around 1 in 645, which means if you only drive a car once a day statistically you could die in a little under 2 years. So, I question what factor is it that causes me to be more afraid of a bug than my coffin on wheels? The answer is fun.

Another irrational fear many people have is flying on an airplane, and this one shocks me the most. Its been said over an over that you’re more likely to die on the drive to the airport than on the flight, but that’s not it. You escape thousands of more probable deaths from when you leave your house to the planes landing. Your chances of dying on an airplane are 1 in 11 million. You’re more likely to get killed by a meteorite (1 in 700,000), be murdered (1 in 18,000), get poisoned (1 in 1,400), have a stroke (1 in 28), you’re even more likely to die from choking on the food you’re eating during the flight (1 in 3,138). Now you shouldn’t fear eating instead of flying, this is meant to bring to light that almost everything we do can result in death, and some of the top fears mankind has make no sense, so we can’t live in fear of what might happen, because then you miss out on the experience of life.
