Deception, Lying, or Truth


What is the worst that could happen?
          A lot of times we interpret different ways of what is good and what is bad. Many of the young generation think that being bad is a way of being good, when in reality it just makes a person look dumb and foolish. In today's society the media and entertainment have a big influence on the youth and young adults. For example, lots of rappers deceive the public in displaying the use of marijuana and being a pimp in their music videos. This then creates a domino effect with young people thinking that is is okay to what they do thus, wanting to become like them. Now I am not saying that all the rappers do this, but a big majority of rappers do. My point that I am trying to come across is that deception can come in various ways, whether it is being displayed in a music video or just talking with friends.
          In deceiving others there are major consequences that occur. It is possible that this can cause a lose of friends, family, and jobs. Deception is not the way to go. It will just lead you into a deeper hole and then your stuck. Remember every time you think that if you lie you will get out of that situation your wrong. The only way to get out of a situation is to tell the truth. Before you tell a lie to get yourself out of a situation ask yourself, what is the worst that could happen.

What true love means

Love 




          The true meaning of love is everything that this verse said. Love is a very powerful weapon that is not to be played with. When you love someone you are willing to go to the ends of the earth to do anything to make that person happy. When you love someone dearly you will have no regrets on the decisions you make. What I mean by that is the integrity you have when you are alone with someone else besides your significant other. When you love someone truly it requires sacrifice in that both of you have to come to an agreement on things that you both want to in this relationship. Love is sometimes not easy, but always rewarding.
          "Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love"-Erich Fromm
          In order to love there needs to be faith, and in order to have faith you need to believe. Love is not just a game, but a true desire to spend a life together.
           Love is what we all need, if there is no love then there is no peace. One of the greatest commandments in the Bible is, "Love thy Lord God with all they heart, soul, mind and strength, and love thy neighbor as thyself". Mark 12:30-31 If we keep this commandment, our lives will be much simpler.
