"The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well." --Ralph Waldo Emerson Once again, this is of course about life, but I chose this quote because it really is the difintion of life. Life isn't about being happy, but personally I think that a person needs to be happy in order to help others, but that's not the quote. But, a person in life should be useful, honorable, compassionate, and know that when they do these things that they have lived, and lived well. I know that I try to do these things on a daily basis, but sometime there's that person where you can't be the bigger person, no offense towards anyone or myself, and you just can't because if there is that person, you just want to take them out back and slap them around, or just jump on them like a crazed person. When ever I feel like doing that, all I do is just yell and growl between classes because the halls are too noisy anyway, so I'll fit right in. If there is that one person that just gets under your skin, don't bring a gun to school, because that's what I think is the leading cause of school violence is others picking on others and then the person getting picked on thinks that's the only way to get them to shut up, there are better choices. Don't bring a gun to school, first talk to your counselors, a teacher, someone who can do something whether it's a friend who will talk to an adult for you, just don't turn to either killing someone or yourself. You have the rest of your life to look forward to. I know a person wouldn't want to spend it in prison, or dead. And if talking to a trusted person doesn't work, just write the person name on a sheet of paper all over and then tear up the paper furiously, or talk to the person and try to see why they get under your skin or pick on you. Basically see what it's like in their shoes. I know that people always tell you this and you think that it doesn't work, but it does. I've done it many a times and at first it doesn't work, but after I think about it, I try to talk to the person, and ask them why do they treat me the way they do and I find out that they have a bad family situation, and NO it's not an excuse to act the way they do, but it adds to why they do. So remember that life is really worth to live it. And live life to the fullest, and don't forget you have a lot of loved ones and friends who love you and wouldn't want to go to your funeral before they have to. Nated
