“Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatred.”
I just wanted to start off by saying how significant this quote is to me. It’s amazing how thirsty we are for the blood of one we hate. It’s amazing how we are so violent. It’s amazing how we sacrifice so many precious lives. And we do it all for that? Just for that tiny dot? We can’t even own that whole dot; we’ve only gone far enough to own a fraction of that dot. When this is mentioned you start to marvel at how much we haven’t thought about yet. Like how we haven’t considered we are technically related trough the very first of the humans, that we are technically one big family. We haven’t considered that we step on the same ground as the people we think of lowly. To not have this drilled into our brains yet I am so stunned. Why can’t we share? Why can’t we love one another and help each other out? Together we can do so much, so why not start now? People work so hard trying to figure things out alone. Can’t we do it together? I’m sure there is a way we can do it together. But no we are too selfish to understand our limits and responsibilities. Is it too late to start now? Instead of fighting can’t we just suck it up, accept each other? Sadly not, because too many people are greedy for power and respect. We may not have the power to turn back time but we have the power to make peace now, yes right here right now. This can be a tiny random act of kindness like saying “hello”. If we can do this we can make this miracle of life totally worth it. I f we can work together we can make this world more than just a pale blue dot. So we start now or never it’s completely up to you. We have the power to either kill ourselves trying to take over that dot or we can share it, we can help out, we can upgrade, and best of all we can even prosper. I hope this message sinks into your brain so one day when we are ready to be a team we will all be ready for the new challenges yet to come. “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships.”

I would choose the tree trunk by Emily Carr. It's not much but it explains a lot. It is a 129.1 cm x 56.3 cm oil on canvas piece. The form of art is abstract and ti uses generally dark colours. this piece of art inspires my style of colouring and abstract mostly. I would take this piece of art home because the colours green, brown, blue, and that little bit of white seemed to brighten my mood and give me a warm feeling. This piece would probably be the best combinations of colours I've seen in the art gallery. It is evident that Emily Carr spent a long time thinking how she could make the tree trunk still look like a tree trunk even if she painted it in an abstract style.. I also like this piece of art because it reminds me of nature and outdoors. Therefor, it explains why I like and would take this home.
What’s the first thing any adult faces? Financial problems. Around this age children are exposed to this tragic reality. What I want to change is the success of our jobs in the economy. There are 19 of 20 people who are stressed, hungry, tired of work just so that all of their money is spent on cars, transit, electricity, water, food, taxes and this list goes on for a while.
If this change can be made within the economy, housing can be much easier, a relaxing house. Just think of it, your driving home from work and you’re completely tired, you get in you’re driveway and go inside a nice warm cozy house in which you sleep in and the next day you feel fresh and ready for the new day. A house can be much easier to afford if you have the money, it’s that simple. In addition to my point, literally managing money is so much easier. From what I’ve seen, people are always depressed because it’s so hard getting money to live. That’s why suicidal rates are increased as to drug addicts and more. As my last reason, for a positive note, the value of our money would increase. Knowing that our city is thriving, the government could increase the value of our money. As soon as that happens, Canada will have another thing to be proud of. To summarize, if we can give better salary, our economy will thrive. |
Wait whats that? I'm a very smart person? Why thank you, you don't need to mention it.
