Monday October 5th: The quote "It's not so much the journey that's important; as is the way that we treat those we encounter and those around us, along the way" by Jeremy Aldana, in my opinion, shows that it is not the end of the journey that matters, but it is what you do, what you learn along that journey that truly matters most. Personally, I recently learned the meaning of this quote last year, I now contemplate upon how to truly apply this meaning to my every day affairs.

Wednesday October 7th: Similar to a virus, cyber bullying, like any other form of bullying, not only hurts the person being bullied but it also instills hate in their heart. In order to "relinquish" this hate, the previously bullied victim will bully others so that they don't fear the pain any longer; of course however, this certainty does not work. In short, in order to end the "virus", people must find it within themselves to not take their anger rout on others and must instead contemplate on the reason that they are angry. This, in turn, will prevent the spread of the virus, meaning that the few bullies that are left will eventually "wither" away and stop bullying others.

Thursday October 8th: If I ever respected anyone, it would be my mom. Not merely for the reason that she is my mother, I respect my mom because of the illness that she goes through every day. With numerous chronic illnesses, my mom can barely walk at times, it requires her all just to make it to the other end of the house. However, my mom still manages to help all of her friends and family in their times of need, whether it be a simple talk or just someone to vent to. My mom has always been there for me in times of sadness despite the constant pain that she deals with every day, that is why I respect her more than anyone else.

Friday October 9th: The moral of the story of the old man and the goblins is that by making fun of someone else, you actually hurt yourself in the process because you are making yourself look foolish, immature, and outright disrespectful.
