Honesty and Truth

What ever happened to that one friend or your two friends that you could always count on in any situation? The truth is that the amount of trust you can have in anyone has decreased so much over the last few years. One day you could have a close friend, then the next day they could be your most violent and hated enemy. It only takes one truly bad situation for any given person to find out who their true friends are. Most of peoples so called "friends" will bail out on you in any situation where they see that they could get in just as much or more trouble than you. Another thing, What ever happened to never being honest with everybody, I know see that only 40% of what people say could be truth. Our society is so based on what other people will think of you and what other people care about, That most people lose their judgement along the way. Most people bend over backwards to try to please other people, When there is other people who truly don't care what people think of them. Never put faith in someone you know will let you down in the end, And once they let you down they will not be the one who is hurt......You will.

In All Honesty

What drives a person to commit suicide? Is it the only option left for the person or is it a cheap easy way out of a hard life? I've pondered this concept for years (Not saying I've wanted too). If wants nothing more than to be rid of the life that has been bestowed upon them like a gift. In the past I've known individuals who act as though this is the glorious easy button in life, If life gets too hard they decide "Well I can't take this anymore" and just like that a life is lost. The actions that certain people take in there lives are solely based on their wants, needs, and emotions. The person attempting to commit suicide is usually not concerned with those around them. If someone takes their own life, knowing they are moments away from death is that an honorable death? This is the question I was originally faced with when reading Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. The main character takes his own life knowing he is just moments from death, This was discussed multiple times during our class period. Most of the class yelling random garbled sentences about respect and honor. I personally think that suicide is giving up everything you have worked up to in life. But I'll stop rambling.

Late Night Homework.

I decided to do this post on my One Sentence Story.

It began A man finds a Pistol with 11 bullets in the clip.

The man ponders where he found the pistol, It finally struck him. He first caught glimpse of the pistol when he woke up the previous morning. A Hot, Humid and Hazy day. He awoke to the smell of burnt toast, But then quickly remembered that he was the only person staying in his 3 room small loft on the edge of Chicago.He placed each foot carefully on the old wooden floorboards, Making sure not to make any excess noise. He tread very carefully avoiding the particular floorboard towards the end of the hallway, That always creaked loudly and for what seemed like minutes. He drew the pistol from the hidden gun compartment in his wall. And turned the safety off. He aimed forward with both hands as he walked as a ninja in complete silence. He Peered into his kitchen and saw a strange man burning something in his over sized sink. It looked as though it was once living. He aimed the Pistol with perfect precision. And as he pulled the trigger, He was hit over the head with a baseball bat. He awoke later the next day to have been robbed of everything in his house. And had slight amnesia, He discovered he had amnesia when he forgot where the pull went. He gazed at his cabinet, To see a quarter sized hole in it....
