Quote: "I want to give light but not like the candle. I don't want to lose myself in the process... Generosity and self-preservation should be allowed together."

 Helping people around you is no problem. Everybody needs help, but don't be like the candle you're going to be melting in. It's much more painful to lose yourself than to lose a person there for you. You're going to question your worth and feel abused. For that you will begin to forget how important you are. The person you gave your all will receive the love and care he / she wants, but he / she doesn't deserve. What's wrong with you? The person who gave his all that doesn't get the same amount of attention and shared with others things he / she had. I would say that many people do that in this century, being such a pest and adding too much negative to the life of someone.

 We are taught to support others in need as a family culture, and with that, I strive to help as much as I could. There are many feelings in the quote I chose that I felt inside as I read it, including the discomfort as if my brain and body were responding and bringing a lot of memories inside my mind about how I thought about myself.Not only does the pain I feel apply to myself, I felt pain for others who lost themselves by helping people like what happened to me. We who give will always bring out the best we can without considering that it destroys us slowly only to satisfy the people who always take it.

 There are many thoughts running inside my head. One of those thoughts is what I understand in the quote to help someone, but don't spill out all your heart, don't be like the flame, don't let yourself melt, don't get lost. There's a lot of emotions I feel inside me when I read this, and that involves reflections as well. Keep in mind how important "you" is. Always put yourself first, if helping means not minding yourself I rather not help at all. I will only have myself when the time comes where all the people who I extend my help to will forget about me.  

 We are taught how to live in literature. Literature, allows the reader to witness things, meet people through books, fictional character that can make them feel the same happiness and pain the narrator or author has experienced. As literature, quotes are the same thing. It can make you feel the joy of the pain felt by the speaker, the emotions poured into the quote. You can get a lot of ideas gathered by the authors from the experience and the emotions they experienced. It makes them both unique and represents culture, people and their mannerism.

Bakit Tayo Nanghuhusga? Maraming tao ang hinuhusgahan ng mga tao. Hinuhusgahan nila ang isang tao sa pamamagitan lamang ng pagtingin sa kanila. Ang taong ito ay maaaring maging napakabuti ngunit dahil sila ay kumikilos o tumingin sa isang tiyak na paraan ng isang tao ay maaaring hatulan sila ng mali. Mayroong mga tao na napopoot sa isang tao nang hindi kahit na nagkakaroon ng pagkakataon na makilala ang mga ito. Maaari silang mainggit sa kanila, at iba pa. Ang ilang mga tao ay hahatulan ng isang tao dahil ang iba ay ginagawa ito. Kung hindi gusto ng ibang tao ang taong ito, dapat may mali sa kanila. Nagsisimula rin silang magustuhan ang tao. Ang taong ito ay makikinig sa mga taong nakakasalamuha nila. Ang tao ay sumimangot sa isang taong walang kasalanan at naniniwala sa lahat ng sinasabi ng iba. Kung ang paghusga ay nagawa upang matulungan ang isang tao na makita ang kanilang mga mali at makabalik ng tama, ginawa ito sa tamang paraan. Hinuhusgahan mo ang isang tao s...

Trojan War

Trojan War On what I've learned war is a situation or period of fighting between two sides that have a goal and that is victory over the other side. Sometimes war is not the answer when it comes to owning a land or arguments, but unlike in the trojan war everything is different. The Trojan War was waged against the city of Troy by the Achaeans. The Trojan War is the most important battle in the Greek mythology it  started as a way for Zeus to reduce the ever-increasing population of humanity and, more practically, as an expedition to reclaim Helen, wife of Menelaos, King of Sparta and brother of Agamemnon. In conclusion sometimes war is not the answer and we have to be careful on the things we do or say because it might hurt others or start a fight.
