Life Law Nine

Forgiveness is the healing of wounds caused by another. You choose to let go of a past wrong and no longer be hurt by it. Forgiveness is a strong move to make, like turning your shoulders sideways to walk quickly on a crowded sidewalk.


This tell you what forgiveness is about. It tells you at what points you should forgive. You may always forgive, but you will never forget.

Life Law Six

Everyone looks at life in a different way. But the way you look at it and the way that someone else looks at it could change everything you think about life. If you look at life with the thought of going in and going for everything then you could end up in a good way. Then there is ways that people look at different people, like guys look at girls like they are scumbags, and guys look at girls totally different. The way that people look at their parents could all e different ways too. It all depends on the way you look at people to determine the way you look at life.

Life Law Five

No one should be afraid to fail , to get rejected, or to get a bad answer. If everyone was afraid of getting rejected where would we be right now in our life, in our society, in our world? You should go for what you want and don't stop until you get it, if it is meant to be yours if it isn't then it won't but you can't get anything until you tried. And you can't say i give up until you went to get what you wanted full heartidly. If there is something that could be changed or something that you have been wanting to participate in the you need to go and try and don't give up until you can say "Iv'e tried everything".

Passing Stranger


ASSING stranger! you do not know how longingly I look upon you,

You must be he I was seeking, or she I was seeking, (it comes to me as of a dream,)

I have somewhere surely lived a life of joy with you,

All is recall'd as we flit by each other, fluid, affectionate, chaste, matured,

You grew up with me, were a boy with me or a girl with me,

I ate with you and slept with you, your body has become not yours only nor left my body mine only,

You give me the pleasure of your eyes, face, flesh, as we pass, you take of my beard, breast, hands, in return,

I am not to speak to you, I am to think of you when I sit alone or wake at night alone,

I am to wait, I do not doubt I am to meet you again,

I am to see to it that I do not lose you.

o captain my captain.

193. O Captain! My Captain!


1

O CAPTAIN! my Captain! our fearful trip is done;
 
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won; 
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, 
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring: 
    But O heart! heart! heart!         5
      O the bleeding drops of red, 
        Where on the deck my Captain lies, 
          Fallen cold and dead. 
  
2

O Captain! my Captain! rise up and hear the bells;
 
Rise up—for you the flag is flung—for you the bugle trills;  10
For you bouquets and ribbon’d wreaths—for you the shores a-crowding; 
For you they call, the swaying mass, their eager faces turning; 
    Here Captain! dear father! 
      This arm beneath your head; 
        It is some dream that on the deck,  15
          You’ve fallen cold and dead. 
  
3

My Captain does not answer, his lips are pale and still;
 
My father does not feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will; 
The ship is anchor’d safe and sound, its voyage closed and done; 
From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;  20
    Exult, O shores, and ring, O bells! 
      But I, with mournful tread, 
        Walk the deck my Captain lies, 
          Fallen cold and dead.

My best teachers.....

I would have to agree and disagree, I think that our parents are great teachers but are still learning themselves. Since our parents have been a teenager and been through everything we are going through right now and everything else were going to go through. That makes me think that they know everything that there is to know and that they can teach me anything and always have the correct answers. Sometimes this may be true but then again it can be very wrong. Say you have a problem in your life and you don't know what to do and you turn to your parents for help since you know that they have been through this already you think they have the correct answer. What you don't know is that this answer can dig you deeper and deeper than you already are in your problem. In the end I think that our parents are still learning as we grow up and make mistakes, our parents raising us is a growing and learning opportunity for them as well as for us.
