“Listen up - there's no war that will end all wars.”
― Haruki Murakami,
One thing I hate is war! I understand that we need to defend our country, but I feel as though was is very pointless and it doesn't really solve anything! If it was up to me I war wouldn't exist. I know people make their own choice to join the army and go into the war. I just don't understand why someone would even make that decision. Many soldiers who are out there fighting are risking for their lives for who knows what. I'm pretty sure there are ways to avoid the war. After war, many soldiers suffer from PTSD, which can drive them crazy and lead to suicide. Once a war is started it will never end! How does killing each other people solve the world's problem?
“You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is a black guy, the tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese, the Swiss hold the America's Cup, France is accusing the U.S. of arrogance, Germany doesn't want to go to war, and the three most powerful men in America are named "Bush", "Dick", and "Colin." Need I say more?”

When I first read this quote I couldn't stop laughing. It's very stereotypical and a little ignorant but I found it funny. Chris Rock is a very funny guy and I enjoy listening to his jokes. I feel like some people will be offended by this quote but people should have a sense of humor, but of course not everyone is joyful like others.
“I've got nothing to do today but smile.”
― Simon and Garfunkel
I could relate to this quote because I usually always have a smile on my face, or I'm laughing. I have a really goofy personality and I love it! I feel like there are a lot of miserable people in this world. People need to stop being so moody! I really hate to see people sad, or angry. People should have the right to be happy and smile all the time. Life's too short to not be smiling and being happy! I don't know why somebody wouldn't want to be so joyful!
“Why didn't I learn to treat everything like it was the last time. My greatest regret was how much I believed in the future.”
― Jonathan Safran Foer
― Jonathan Safran Foer
Nothing ever goes as planned! Whenever you plan or expect for something to go a certain way it always turns out to be the opposite. A lot of the times when you expect too much it leads to disappointments. For example, it's like when you plan to have a fun time at a party and you expect for it to be one of the greatest nights of your life and then it turns out to be what you didn't expect. You had your hopes up, and was disappointed in the end. I feel like I could relate to this quote, because it happens to me all the time! Exactly why I don't expect much!
“Tell the truth, or someone will tell it for you.”
― Stephanie Klein
The truth will always come out, even if it's something you think will never come out. It's better to be truthful than to tell a big fat lie, because then when the truth does come put your going to be labeled as a liar. Even if you might feel like the right thing is to tell a lie, but usually when you lie, you have to tell another on top of that. Which will cause more stress on you, and end up getting caught up forgetting what lies you told. You'll eventually get caught and then there will be no trust, and without trust then there's nothing. That's just how I see things. No one likes someone who's not honest and doesn't like to tell the truth.
“Who are you to judge the life I live?
I know I'm not perfect
-and I don't live to be-
but before you start pointing fingers...
make sure your hands are clean!”
I love this quote by Bob Marley! Nobody on this earth is perfect so no one should be judging somebody else's life. Personally, I don't judge no one because I don't know what that persons motives were and also I'm no better. A lot of people like to "point fingers" on others, when they have dirty hands. One thing I can't stand is hypocrites. People should stop worrying about others lifestyles and start focusing on what skeletons they have in their closets.
“I'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to.”
― Jimi Hendrix
People should be able to live their life the way they want to without people judging them. But of course that will never happen people nowadays are very judgmental. I wish it wasn't like that though. I feel like some people are so worried about what others have to say that they limit what they want to do! No one should control your life. If it's your life you should live it the way you want it, and not caring what others think about you.
