Destiny Miller Mr. Short English 15 November 2017 Being a Kind Person is Worth Something ¨The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy.” (Kalu Kalu). How do you want to be remembered and then how will you actually be remembered? Being a good person is such a problem today and many people have assumed that the solution is to be mean, to put others down and to simply not think about being nice. However, all we need in our lives is respect for yourself and for others, kindness, common courtesy, and a little self ambition. Once we have all of those things or feel comfortable with those things, we then can be better people, we then can be nicer people. In today's society, there are just so many things going wrong. We have shootings going on more often, we have riots all over, and we have terrorists threats now, and maybe it is because people just don't see the good in anything anymore. It all starts with us as humans. We have trashed this place, we are becoming evil, we are becoming our own enemy, we are killing people, and we are putting others down for no reason. The big question is, why? Why are we so mean to each other? Some people could say it is because we don't love ourselves, maybe because they have had something traumatic happen in their lives and it's hard to see the good, maybe because we have made poor choices and we think it is too late, maybe because they aren't religious,
the world isn’t always a beautiful place and the people in it have a dark side that isn’t pretty.
At the heart of it is the issue of pride. Until society can learn as a whole to push aside their individual pride and focus wholly on bettering others so all benefit, wars will continue to be waged, human rights violated, innocents killed and a continuous degradation of society. The only way to fix these issues are the small and simple day to day activities to be more selfless individuals and thus as a society become unprideful. For by small and simple things will great thring come to
Even though this world is a horrible place to live in and bad things happen every single day this world still continues to amaze me with how evil it has become. Last year there was a shooting in Florida 2016, with 49 people killed and 58 people injured. We as a nation didn't think it would get worse and if it did, not so soon. It is no surprise that this world is getting worse and worse, because Jesus said it would before He came back. Even though we knew this world would get worse we didn't know how. Now we are seeing how evil man has truly become.
However, the reason for the tumble into such hard times is believed to have been due to man’s ego. Somewhere in the past, people got envious of others, eventually leading to chaos and to the disappearance of individuality. Therefore, reason for such a horrid fall backwards in society is because of one of man's worst sins: envy. Envy and ego go hand in hand.
In our society we love to hate and hope for each others downfall we thrive on that.
live our lives in such a way that we leave a legacy that will impact future generations in a
Humans now and then have more respect for each other than any other animal has with each other. When one human comes upon another human they greet each other with a sort of manner. Usually others like to help out when one is in need too. Although man is good to each other when civilized or under proper control, the other side of man is very different. The books “The Lottery”, “The Lord of the Flies”, and “The Pedestrian” all present how people can be uncivilized and how people disobey rules. When people are in a uncivilized place they start to turn against each other, people start to defend themselves, and their mindset starts to change.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the world we live in, but for some reason, the hatred is overpowering any positive attempt we gain. Instead, of being united, we are either dwell in our own happiness or caught wishing the demise
“People might not remember exactly what you did, people might not remember what you said, but they will always remember how you made them feel,” said H.Jackson Brown Jr. This could go either way being rude or polite. You can break someone's spirit, or you can make them remember the nice things you did. So be the best person you could be.
So much is wrong in this world ruled by humanity. Genocide, racism, bullying, slavery, rape. The list could go on forever but no matter how overflowing the list gets, it`s alright because humanity makes mistakes everyday. In no way am I saying that killing for pleasure is alright. And whether you believe in God or not, I feel he creates us to make mistakes but to also learn from these mistakes. People know what greed and hatred is. Everyone has felt one or the other at least once in their lives. No one can fully say that they are pure in the heart because they're not. The feeling of want is inside us all, and sometimes it can be good. Wanting to be a doctor and setting goals for yourself is good. Wanting to get revenge is bad. They are both feelings of want but different outcomes, depending on the person. I believe that it is the raw emotions we create within
Humanity is complex. We are capable of committing acts that can either be compassionate and selfless, or sickly heinous. An example of cruelty is the Puritans. They control their communities by using unjust and unnecessary means, all justified by their religion. The USA is often looked at as one of the most leading and successful country in the world. This outshines our weakness like the unemployment rates. We have the most diversity among our citizens than any other countries. Our modern American society is no different compared to the Puritans because people are being judge by their race.l, Japanese Americans internment camps was not welcoming and the Ebola disease outbreak.
The legacy of doing good and encouraging others is a legacy I want to leaving HVMS. I want my teachers and friends to consider me as a person who was always positive and always having everyone backs.
What has our society come to these days? Everywhere we look, violence is present, at the streets, at work, at school, and even at home. Every day in the news we see reports about shootings, wars, thefts, drugs, rapes, and deaths. The worse part of seen this in the news is that all way do it’s complain about it and sit back. We do not even attempt an explanation or a resolution. Violence is among one of the most malignant act that has been increasing day by day. And why is it that we complain about other people being violent, but when we are asked if we are violent or if we have ever responded with violence, everyone says they are not violent. But if among ourselves we are not violent then who is it that makes our society a violent society?
A legacy can be describe as many things. Some people leave good legacy but also bad ones. A legacy is the only thing many people remember you by. Many people have the legacy of being a great doctor or a fantastic husband. I would like mine to be about the positive things I did in life. Even when I made mistakes I want people to remember I always tried to fix what I did wrong. Well for me I would like my legacy to be good. I want to be remember as the friend who was there for any one at anytime. The lovely mother and friend who was always there.
Never in my life or anybodies have we witnessed this much violence. What is wrong with the world?
