Of Marriage and Single Life

Francis Bacon believes that unmarried men are more financially better off than married men, but then again a married man doesn’t know about the compassionate feeling that a man gets from a wife. But marriage also depends on the person’s age as well.

“Of Marriage and of Single life,” Francis Bacon compares two kinds of men, one of who are single, and the other who are married in different ages. Bacon displays how a younger person should not marry as he/she will have a lot of responsibilities, and they have the responsibility to earn well. They would not be able to balance out their time between family and work. Not only that, with single men of all ages, have a tendency to be crueler than married men due to not having the compassion you would have from a child or your wife. Even if they are nicer in some ways, like giving to charity or helping out, if the question came to marriage, they would run away due the thinking that being single is another form of freedom from the chains of commitment. Other than that, middle aged men would be more considerate for marriage as they would be more settled in their job so the family can be supported. With older men, a wife would more likely to take care of the husband like a nurse rather than a having a family that acts more like a family.

Francis Bacon explains the proper age for a person to marry. Marriage, being a serious matter for some, especially for many women displays how many different men would treat them. For a single man, the compassion is not there because a man knows about humanity and discipline from having a child and a wife. Marriage at younger age puts restrictions on what a person needs to achieve when they start work. With this restriction, a person would have a hard time starting a family. If marrying a middle aged person, a family would run much more easily because there some sort of a stable responsibility in the family. If marrying an older man, a woman would not have the marriage that she would hope for. So basically, Bacon shows that if you want to have a successful marriage, it is better to marry a middle aged partner.

Looking at this judgment of Bacon, I can say that it is in a way true. Having a cousin that was married off pretty young, she did not have a good time in her marriage as both her and her husband were young at age. Not only that, but they had just started off in jobs and they were having a very hard time in their marriage. At the end of it all, they had split up due to this misconception of their marriage being good. This is one example of how a marriage has a higher chance of failing due to the instability of their marriage. This shows how Francis Bacon’s idea of the aging on marriage cannot be successful if the couple is too young. Bacon shows how, even with money, there needs to be a sense of responsibility, and in this case, none of them seemed to be ready for the responsibility ahead of them and none of them wanted to improve.

TV is good for you...

TV is good for people who have not touched even a little bit of education, especially in the rural areas.

For many people, Television is a form of entertainment and entertainment only. Due to this reason many people call it the “idiot box.” But one thing a lot of people do not know is that many rural areas got the idea of the television a few years later than them. With the television set, we humans come to know a lot about the current events around the world, and other things with the broad spectrum from news to Hollywood, Bollywood, and even to cartoons. Television gets us many advantages as the children enjoy their childhood due to the cartoons, and adults with news or movies. Not only does it give us current issues or something, but for many, it is the only source of education.

In different places of the world, there are many people who don't have access to any source of education, be it in paper, or any other form of education or lifestyle. As shown with research, India is one of those places. Rural parts in India show how the use of television has gotten many females around the villages to turnover to a different kind of living. Television may be a source for many to gain weight, but for a lot of women in this country, it is a different story altogether. Television demonstrates for many women in India how a person can improve their live style. As shown by research, many Indian women in the rural areas now have a higher percentage for education. As many were even beaten up due to irrational reasons, many have gained the courage to stand up against some parts of the society.

Men losing their authority little by little, shows how television can, not only be a source of uselessness, but also a source of courage. Television is something that many people do not appreciate due to a stereotypical thinking of how people are lazy watching TV all day all night. But one thing they don’t realize is that sometimes what one may think is true, might probably is not true for someone else. Television is a good thing as people start to think outside their bubble and start realizing that the wrong is wrong. When research is done, people then realize that TV is not generally bad altogether. Men start to lose their monopoly on their family’s life as many females start to see how the world is changing due to TV. The set allows one to believe on hope for change, a hope for a better world.

TV may cause many difficulties in many peoples social life, but that doesn’t really make it bad altogether. People have many different opinions on everything in this world, so my opinion would be that TV is not a bad thing. Having it help out people who hardly get help from the world around, gets them a great chance to interact with their peers and talk about things they normally wouldn’t, get a chance to see the world, not only around them, but also the global view.

Rick Santorum, Meet my son.

A woman should be allowed to abort her child if she wanted to.

Having a child like Ronan, Emily Rapp is one of the few people I have heard of actually taking care of her disabled child. Having a child like that, I too would be sad of losing him/her fast. With disabilities that are being detected before the child is born, or when a child is born, the parents should have the authority to abort the child. Being their child, the doctors or the government should not allow abortion to be banned even though it is a secondary way of murder. But if a child who had so many disabilities, the parents should be allowed to do what they feel is right for the kid.

If a child’s life goes around like Ronan’s, it is heart breaking for a parent to see the child live through it. With this, the mother should be allowed to take charge and say whether the child should be aborted, if disabilities noticed earlier, or should the child live on. With the choices that we can make now, a person should be able to tell the different between good and bad. Even though something good for one person may be bad for another, looking at the condition of Ronan, if they had come to know about his disease before he was born, he wouldn’t have to live through with his life with blindness, paralysation, seizures and much more.

With Emily, her mother had a choice to abort her, but instead she made a choice not to. These kinds of choices are meant for the mother to make if she believes that the child will survive or when she believes that the child will be fine in the real world. The mother had the full authority to reject the abortion option as she would be the only one to think what the best is for the child’s future. When the parents have a handful of little children, there are many doctors who consider the woman to consider an abortion.

Having heard many of my childhood stories told to me, there were many times when I couldn’t stop laughing because of my stupidity and one time when I cried. Honestly, now thinking about it, I didn’t really have to cry, but sometimes it just happens. I had come to know that the doctors had told my parents to consider aborting me due to the hassle I would create with two more very little siblings. When my mom told me that, I started questioning myself saying how life would be now without me being here. But I kept that aside because my mom made a choice of not aborting me.

With Emily, even though Ronan has so many disabilities, she shows courage for the boy and still loves him through his thick and thin. There are times, even when you know that you would be going through a new experience, there would be many when it might hurt you, but you just learn live, love and laugh through it all.

Never go to bed angry

Sleep and emotions connected:

Research has shown that going to sleep depending on emotional stages does cause changes of the sleeping ways. Experimenting with 100 odd people by showing them pictures be it neutral, negative or positive. Around 12 hours later, or the next morning, they see the difference between with a positive emotion to neutral and negative to measure their brain activity by looking at the rapid eye movement. Or when they sleep, it shows that the brain, due to the emotional state, brings out memories or experiences that have been preserved of the same emotion in a dream. So they say sleeping when you are angry is one reason why many people having restless nights, or sleepless nights. Adding to that, sleep also increases the emotional state of memories.

Reading this, I realize that there are time when I fall asleep angry or with a negative mood, I don't usually sleep as well as I would. For me, sleeping is something I love to do, so if I am going to be angry when I am about to sleep, I usually start to think of something positive to change my mind. I would never really think that due to the happens of my emotions, my brain would bring out memories of which resemble my emotions when I went to sleep. I always thought that it is what you think about last is what causes your dreams to come out as what they are. Well I guess that was the same thing. But if my negative emotion before going to bed is going to give a restless night, then I guess now I would be trying to sleep in a positive emotion.

Killed for giving a baby girl

Afghan women is killed for giving birth to a baby girl

In Afghanistan, have a baby boy calls for celebration, yet having a girl is usually seen as a burden to parents. A women from North-Eastern Afghanistan has been arrested for killing her daughter-in-law for not giving a son, but three daughters consecutively. The killed husband now has fled as he was suspected for helping out for the murder. The officials being told that the mother-in-law tied up her legs while the husband strangled her to death. Neighbors say that she lived in hell, and that her husband was an illegal militia who was armed. The wife also told him to lay low and not to go out with thugs, but he never listened.

With stories like this going around in the news, it pains me to see that having baby boys are more important than females, even to many of the mother's or mother-in-laws's. It pains me even more to see that women die due to not giving a boy as a child. I mean, is this really how a female should be living. So what if you have a girl? If you keep killing people for having females, and if only males were in the society, how were you planning to get more babies? Being a girl is not a bad things, sure it has more complications than men in the bodily functions, or lesser power, but we can come to use in ways that men wouldn't. It is sad to see that men in Afghanistan already don't see women equally, but also that they join forces with their mothers to get rid of them because of no male heir to the family. But I guess for many people, this is something that normal, treating females like dirt.

Women in pants and miniskirts stripped naked.

Malawian Women protest due to the attacks for wearing pants and miniskirts.

Stripped out of their clothes due to not following tradition, how many people even do that now? Many Malawian women were stripped naked by the men due to not following the tradition of them wearing dresses, and instead wearing clothes such as pants, miniskirts or leggings. Due to this mishap, many of the women protested against this, wearing legging, pants, skirts, T-shirts, and other forms of clothes. Meeting in closed in places and ordering out the protests, these protests have gone to the nation's leader, and has ordered to arrest anyone who is attacking a women due to what she is wearing. As being a democracy, the law of wearing miniskirts and others that was banned, has been laid out again saying that women have the rights to wear what they feel like since the year of 1994.

Men might be the tougher gender, but they need to realize that putting down the females is not going to get our respect as we have the same emotions as they do. Stripping down someone for not following their traditions is not the right thing to do. Yes, tradition is meant to be kept, but if you try to live in today's world, and keep tradition going along with it, you just might be left behind in society. Also, being a country that is supposed to be lead by the people, they should have the rights to what they want to wear, and adding to that saying that the banning of pants etc. was demolished, the men had no rights to strip the women down naked and say they are not following tradition. I believe that the President, Bingu wa Murtharika, made a wise move towards a new way of thinking and getting more rights to the women to do what they please like by getting the attackers arrested.

Graduation of the Congolese Women Sexual Harassment Survival Class

Congolese Women:

A program called City of Joy, in Congo, gets together women from all over the country who are victims of sexual harassment. This is a program that supports the ending of violence of women and girls globally. This program helps the women in Congo (180 in this matter) to get through their disappointing and hardships through giving them sex education, therapies, dance tutorials, drama/theater, and also some form of self defense. With this, many women who come to this program in the beginning look like their life is over, leave the place with their past as a form of power to change the ways of the country. Congo being a nation with United Nations, there have been no ways of stopping the amount of women being sexually harassed, 48 per hour in this matter.

I believe that the ending of sexual harassment for women is no where towards the end, so I guess something like what the program of City of Joy is accomplishing has done something for the girls and women that were raped. Taking advantage of such people does make me feel rather disgusted. I believe that the City of Joy program allows women to stand up to their beliefs, it brings out the strength in them. Being raped is (for obvious reasons) not a pleasant thing, also allowing many to go into depression and many to even die. But for the people who survive, their lives take another turn. I believe that City of Joy may or may not get people to change their views for the better, as the "women have moved from pain to power... [and are] ready to help revolutionize their communities." So I believe people should also start to look at the right side, and do the right thing.

Describe your favorite time of the day.

It is weird, for some their favorite time of the day can mean something totally different from someone else, and for some maybe the same. For me, it is when I am in the shower. This may be weird for some people, but I love water. Yes, I admit, when I was small, I hated going into showers, made me feel what the point in showering is, but now when I shower, I feel so happy, so satisfied, and so clean. There are times in a day when I take more than two showers a day. My Grandfather used to say, the morning shower is of milk, the afternoon of water, and the night on blood. If you are superstitious, you would understand this saying. Taking morning showers is like milk because it refreshes you, the afternoon of water as a rejuvenation of mind body and soul, and at night of blood because that’s when the evil spirits can take over your soul. Although he said this, I never really paid attention to it, even though being extremely scared of ghosts, I still took showers whenever I felt like, be it night or throughout the day. I love showers because every time I am in one, I feel like I am in my own world. I start to think over things, things I usually would really care about in my daily life. Then again, I would start to play with the water, make bubbles, or even splash water around. I feel as though I’m a little kid all over again. There are times also when I just stand and soak in the warmth emitting from the hot water spraying out during winters, and the cool, yet slightly warm, water during the summers. Making me feel clean all over, I feel as though I’m ready to take on the world, even though I never do.

Ten Simple rules for dating me…

Ten Simple rules for dating me…
1) You should be yourself around me. There are many times when people change the way they act due to nervousness, or suddenly become really conscious of themselves, but for me, just be yourself, because most probably that is why I fell for you
2) You should be fun. Yes, so maybe when we weren’t dating, you were fun, and did the craziest things on earth, I want that to continue. I would want you to be fun and not think too much on what she might say or something like that, because that is most probably another trait why I fell for you.
3) There should be a mutual understanding of what we were doing. Many times the guy or the girl gets angry at the other for doing something that was misunderstood by the other. We should not go into misconceptions before understanding, or even knowing the truth.
4) Trust. Trust plays a big role in a relationship, so there should be trust in the relationship. Firstly you have to gain my trust and vice versa, and you should try not to break it, because it will break once in a while, maybe even from my side.
5) Be active. Being active should be a trait of his because it is no fun if he is not running around and not having fun. He should play sports, play sports that I hate so that he can change my perspective of it.
6) He should understand when I want to be alone, when I want to stay by myself to think, or do something that doesn’t involve him.
7) He should understand that he is important in my life, but also my friends are too. Yes, I have guy friends, and he needs to understand that I WILL spend time with them too.
8) There should be a romantic side to him too, and for that I’ll leave it up to his imaginations
9) He can believe in the stereotypes of females in the kitchen etc. but he should not really imply it.
10) Last but not least, he should have some respect, be it for anyone, but there should be some there.

Yeah, so this maybe to much to ask, but he doesn't have to have all the qualities, but most would be good, because there just might not be someone who is like this.

Attach a small photograph of something important to you and explain its significance. (Stanford

This picture is a great significance to me as it shows to me something many people might, or might not see, friendship. TO many, it might show how creepy some people will find It shows me that friendship come in many ways, even if it is really weird. It comes in different forms, in different times, and in different, well, faces. This picture explains that friendship doesn't always come from always looking at each other, you just got to know that person. This picture shows that without even looking at a friend, you know what he or she is up to. Life goes on, and there are only a few friends that know you inside out, and those are the friends to cherish, even if they are weird as hell. There are a few friends who will understand you for who you are, be it crazy, weird or even a little bit more hyper than others, as the picture portrays. There are only a few people in this world that will make your life something that someone else would not. There will be many up’s and down’s in the world, and someone like the owl in the back will make you mad, but in the end will end up to make your life easier, which you would not have realized or even thought of before. There will be times when a person will make you so mad, that you would want to kill him/her/it. Although this happens, it will be hard to give up someone who you know for so long to know what they are doing without looking at them. So what if yours and your friends relationship would be different, would be something that a person would not understand, as long as you know each other, and you will be able to live barely without killing each other, you have got nothing to worry about.

1. Imagine that you have the opportunity to travel back through time. At what point in history would you like to stop and why? (Swarthmore)

There are many times during my life when I wish I could go back and stop, many times when I want to stop time so I could live in the moment forever, but as we know, time never does stop, and so it is best to seize every moment as the perfect one. Although yes I say this, I would love to go back many years, the years when I was with my grandfather. I want to seize that moment with my grandfather again, as he showed me different dance moves, which I was never able to learn, those days when we argued about the smallest things (just for fun) and I would lose the argument hands down. I would love to go back in time to be with my grandfather again. I would want to go back in time when I would just sit on his lap and he would tell me stories; stories about life, his life, or about the most random thing on earth. There are times when I think about him all the time, but then realize that why didn't I spend more time with him? I guess people just come and go, and all happen for a reason. I would want to go back in to time when I could just run into his arms and see his smiling then laughing face he always had. I wish I could go back to the days when I would be making so much noise and he would call out to punish me, and the only "punishment" I got was him telling me to be quite or else I would not get my chocolate> i wish I could go back into those times when my grandfather was here, and I could call him up whenever and talk to him. yes, so this may not be the history in history books, but it is part of a beautiful history in my life.

Ten things you do when you procrastinate

There are many things I do when I do my favourite thing, procrastinate. One, I check Facebook. I open up my Facebook page, and never close it. I refresh it a million times even though the same thing pops up on my page, a notification again and again for Farmville or something. The second thing I do is go on 9gag, a site that will take your soul away, seriously. There are times when I would sit on my laptop, on 9gag, and waste my life on it. Then I realize that I should have worked on my work rather than been on this. Third thing I do is I read manga online. There are many kinds of manga that I like, and many of them I have already seen a lot of times and I never get bored of them, because they are very entertaining. Fourth thing I like to do is I just might sleep. It is great I tell you, because now, I most probably have caught up on my hours of sleep that I missed for the week or a few days. Fifth is that I just might, just might play basketball, if I am not too lazy to get out of my bed. Sixth, I would go talk to my friends, and laugh for the stupidest thing on earth. Seventh, I would get off of my bed and just randomly, go to the kitchen, check if there is cheese or milk, and go back to my room. Eighth, I would look for a pot and cook the most random thing on earth, with the weirdest combinations. Ninth, I would just sit on my bed and just look at the ceiling, and last but not least, just try to do my work, but end up doing the list above.

What do you do on a rainy day?

One day, as it started to pour down, I was sitting in class, doing the usual, staring out of the window, not paying attention, and not even trying to understand what was happening in class. There are many things I do on a rainy day. Be it a school night or not, I love to watch movies, not just any movies, I love to watch either horror, as the thunder and lightning just may complement the movie, or I would love to snuggle in next to my teddy bear, and the big heart pillow that I have and watch a romantic movie. Yes, romantic movie during a rainy day can be emotional than if watched on normal days. If not that, I just like to sit down, relax with a nice, hot, cup of coffee. Although I love to do this, there are times when the depressed mood overwhelms the normal. Soon, I wouldn’t be surprised if I am just sitting down next to the window, with a blanket around me, keeping me warm, and just staring at the raindrops rolling down the window like it were a race. I start to think about things I usually do not think of. But then again, more people come into my room and we start talking. I like to enjoy rainy days, even though it is a reflection of depression, and like to take it in the most positive way possible. There is not much I do on a rainy day, but the things I do, get a smile on my face.

Three Wishes

Many people just ask for the first three things that come to their mind for their wishes come true. Yes, there are many things in the world that I want, but I think my life is more interesting if I fight for them and not just get them easily. My first wish would be for the environment. It would be so that the global warming problem would disappear, even if it may be for a while. It would be so that the tree’s, plants, animals, us humans, and every other living organisms would be living in peace, living with no smoke that would harm the future generation, and ours. My second wish would be for the poor. As we know, the line between the rich and poor is getting bigger and bigger. It would be better if the people under the poverty line had some sort of a life, not only living in the streets and stay as beggars for life. Life comes and goes, and many would love to enjoy every moment in it. Life is hard to enjoy when you don’t meet the certain expectations and necessities in life. My last wish would be for me. Life goes on and on, and I would love to have things that are impossible to have. For me, if it is possible, I would combine all the wants into one wish. One of the things I always found interesting is to control fire. Fire has always held me captive and have the ability to control it is what my dream is, a dream that will never come true.

Words that Stung

Words that sting are the words that may not be the foulest words in the dictionary. Some words are there to make you better, and some, to put you down and make it hard for you to get up again. The words that sting are when people call you things you never meant to be, words that you received because of what someone else said to you. Yes there are times when people call people names and throw words at them when they don’t even mean it, just simply because of what their friends think. I did this once, and I realize that your friends judgement on someone is something will differ from yours, because you are two different people. Words that sting me the most are the words of a backstabber, and trust me it hurts. Although life goes on, you start to get used to these words, because of people judgements of you. Why judge someone when you don’t even know who they are inside? Why call them names which actually belong to you, or someone who actually deserves them? Why blabber out words which you know are going to hurt people? Yes, anger does get to you, but sometimes, it is best to take it out on an object, before you screw your friendship or any kind of relationship with someone. Calling someone a ‘B’ or a ‘MF’ may be hurtful, but there are words like ‘get lost’ or ‘I never want to see you again’ which can hurt you even more in the given occasions. So choose your words wisely, because you never know whom you are hurting, even if it a joke.

A special Place

My special place is in your heart… kidding. My special place is wherever I can find peace and quiet to think. It is hard to find something like that in Woodstock School because there are people everywhere; but that doesn’t matter. A special place doesn’t really have to be a place where there are less people too. For me, sometimes, even if there are a million people around me, I can think about many things I usually never want to. Yes, being quiet in a socially active area can cause people to think that you are anti-social, but hey, if that is the consequence for you for wanting to think for once, it is fine to think then. For me, a special place in Woodstock would be my room. My room hardly anyone comes in, well used to because I do not know what it would be like next semester. On my bed, I don’t do anything, but that is the best part about it. Every year I find the most comfortable position on my bed, and I sit in that position all the time, either thinking, or b*llsh*ting on my laptop. My bed is a place I think about problems I have in school and then the things I prefer not to think about, come into my mind. A special place is a place where you should be extremely comfortable in letting out your emotions. Be it anger, sadness, or even depression, a place where you should not be afraid to cry or shout in anger and a place where you should be able to relax no matter what the situation.

How can a person get along with an enemy

I believe that a person can get along with its enemy. Yes, it can be awfully hard, but I believe nothing is impossible. The key to get along with people is to have patience. Having patience is something that can get you far in life. There are many people who you will come across in life, and there are times where you will not be able to stand some of them. The best thing to do is have patience. Some may be surprised that patience will get you to have second thoughts about their enemy, positively of course, but there will be some people who will find their enemies more annoying than usual. There are times when people even forget why they hated who they hated if they have patience with the person they hate, leaving space for tolerance or maybe even friendship. Life goes along way with patience. It was once said, patience is virtue, and I believe it as many good things can come out of patience. An enemy can become friends, but then again, friends can also become strangers. A lot of things can affect a person’s relationship with someone else’s negatively, so there should be enough understanding that a person lives their life differently than others, and that a person should not always hold a grudge against someone because they are different. I understand for some time, but there will be a time when you will understand the difference, may be now, may be tomorrow, or even it may be a long time from now. Just be patience and you never know the outcome of your friendship in life.

44.Jogging has become extremely popular. Explain why you jog or why you don't.

Many people have been jogging anywhere possible. Going around Delhi also you can see that there are people jogging at many different types. Yes, in the beginning of the year, I went to the gym for P.E hours and did jog on the treadmill. Although I used to go there, know I think that there is no reason for me to jog on the tread mill, or anywhere in school. The reason I believe this is because I realize that we most probably run at least one kilometer every day. We walk up to school, giving us the exercise in the morning, and also right after that, from Monday to Friday, we still walk up to the high school building and/or the gym. But on Thursdays, we walk to the Crider’s house for breakfast and back. Not only the morning, we at run to our classes if we are getting, and if not run, at least walk a little fast. After that, still are in class, but when it is lunch, many people run down to lunch, but for me, I either run to choir in the Media Center, or down to the quad. And mind you, it is not an easy job to do because you are running into people like there is no tomorrow. After orchestra or choir, you run to the lunch line trying to beat whoever had band, or music practice. After lunch, you walk up to the high school building, and go to our next class when the bell rings. Again you are running down the hall ways trying to get to your class. After that, we enjoy after school for a little too long, and run or power walk down to dorms and up that killing ramp of Midlands. I guess we get enough exercise per day.

What confuses you in life?

There are many things in life that confuses me. People around me confuse me sometimes. I wonder what is going through their heads, but I just cannot understand them, it is hard. When time is going extremely slow when I want it go fast, like in the boring classes, but it goes fast in times of fun. I know that it is still the same amount of time, sixty seconds in a minute, sixty minutes in an hour etc. but still, why is does it feel like the time varies from experience to experience. Sometimes it is hard to understand what is happening where you are at the moment. It confuses me the most, when someone tries to explain a situation, not explaining it properly so that what was meant to be, is not in my head anymore. It confuses me is when people say I’d rather have you say things on my face than behind my back. That part is not confusing, but it is confusing when people get angry when we tell them what is in our minds about them. It confuses me to think about things that make no sense to make and try to make sense out of it. My head starts to think with too much information at one time. It confuses me how people expect me to take in a whole bunch of information all at once just because someone else could. My left and right confuse me in matter of speed. Yes, something that easy confuses me, but hey, no one is perfect. It hurts my head to think about how friends can go ahead and befriend you, then after using you, they leave you. Then I guess what confuses me the most is life. A life that is not perfect and never will be.

Talk about how a person can change his direction.

Changing directions is not that hard, it can mean just go left, right, back, or continue going forward, but it does matter when you are taking the right way, but have to go another way to reach your destination. A man, willing to change for the good of himself and the people around him will change. The will he has is something that guides him to change. The direction he takes depends on the amount he is willing to let go of his past to change his direction of his future. A person can change his direction by doing what he wants with the courage of his inside. If a person wants to become something different than he or she already is, it does take time, but it does not mean that it is impossible. Yes, for some it may be hard, like giving up drugs and take on a healthier lifestyle, or for some it may be easy, like giving up sports for academics. A person can change his direction in life if he really has the motivation to do so. Life will throw many things in a person’s life, but it is up to them how to challenge it. Changing directions in life is like giving up something you personally like, or even for some people personally loath. But there are many people in this world who change the direction of their life towards the negative side of life. There are people who like sadistic pleasure, like how enjoy with people’s disadvantages, and people incompetence. But even though, they changed their life to be like this for a reason, and there are some reasons that cannot be understood, but a person changes their life to make life better for themselves, even if it may be bad for others.
