The Years and its Answers

"There are years that ask questions and years that answer." 

Being a youth, I am often filled with the questions of the world. As might you be as well. The time of pre-adulthood is usually the years of asking questions, immaturity plays a factor. Come time though, and perhaps maturity, the answers to such questions of life and such could possibly be answered. 

I'm not really too certain of the topic of the quote relating to Janie, so I'm not going to bother with coming up with some witty response. I should probably get to reading the book perhaps?

Where did I put my voice at again?

In most situations, people find it difficult to find their own voice. We can all thank society for that ( You're welcome! ). Yes, we do obtain the unalienable right of freedom of speech, but that isn't always the case in the "real" world.

The outspoken tend to be those that become a nuisance others. Modern society greatly accepts silence and greatly ridicules opinions. Sure, it's all nice and dandy to have a voice and to be expressive, but just realize that there will always be that hate mob who have nothing better to do than be a polarization of your opinion. Then again, I am speaking about important matters. For instance, politics, the economy, war, etc. Those small discussions, like in classrooms, don't really have any type of relevancy because they're usually something swiftly resolved and forgotten. Otherwise, let's be theoretical and say that you have a particular disliking for the president. You begin to protest via social networking. Then, sporadically, you'll get those naive people that tell you "you don't know what you're talking about. Just shut up and deal with it!" Well, of course, not exactly that way but you understand the gist. To the point, it's great to have a voice and throw your opinions out there, but know that the adversity that follows such could be a bit emotionally painful, so just stay strong young Daniel-son.

Questions sur le Great Gatsby

I don't quite understand the contradiction within Nick with him proclaiming himself to not be in love with Jordan, yet he signs "Love Nick" on his letters to her, so what's his deal?

What caused Nick to not believe Gatsby's life story?

And, why does Tom feel compelled to stay in marriage with Daisy through his acts of adultery and mistreatment to her?

I Found Waldo!

The abnormal mind,

Is quick to detect,

And attach itself to this quality,

When it appears in a normal person,

...

I was unjustly accused of being,

A politician,

I was privy to the secret griefs,

Of wild,

Unknown men,

The confidences were unsought,

Frequently I feigned sleep,

When I realized by some,

Unmistakable,

Sign that an,

Intimate revelation was quivering on the horizon,

The terms in which they express them,

Are usually,

Plagiaristic and marred,

By obvious suppressions,

Reserving judgements is a matter of,

Infinite hope,

....

A sense of the fundamental decencies,

Is parcelled out,

Unequally at birth

It's not me it's you

Most of us will end up being married later in our lives (sorry cat ladies). When that occurs, we all hope for the " 'till death do us part" but, is that something we can all hope for? 

Marriage is a special bond between TWO individuals. Except for those rare instances when a spouse decides to break the bonds and tread the infamous waters of adultery. Then, it becomes a special bond between the married couple and the spouse's, who is cheating, partners in crime. Adultery is critically acclaimed by our society purely because it is dishonest to the bible, but is the noun fully viewed at all angles? 

Few might agree that, at times, adultery is actually a positive thing. For instance, let's say you're spouse lives a healthy life the first few years of marriage, but then suddenly contracts this disease from Africa as you guys enjoy the wonders of Earth. Then, doctors conclude that, due to his unfortunate capture of this disease, your spouse will forever be fully paralyzed of any motor functions in the body. So, as years pass by (25 years to be exact) of nurturing and caring and loving your spouse, you become to feel your sense of pleasure nowhere  near being satisfied. Your spouse senses this hardship upon you and decides to open up the doors to you and allow you to seek your pleasure. I'm going to assume that this pleasure to you is sex. So, in other words, upon hearing your spouse's decision for you, do you go on and commit adultery for the positive effect on your psyche?

The False Claims of Injudgement

Do the outward appearances of a person affect your better judgement? Or, should they matter? The answer to that could vary to many. But, to most, the answer could deceive themselves. For instance, people could believe that appearances do not matter merely an ounce to them. But, in reality, they are completely consumed by the idea that they do not want to associate with people they consider "ugly". So, should appearances seriously matter? That's just a question you have to thoroughly think about within your sub- conscious conversations. But, should it truly matter that people judge other people?

To me, looks are just pure deceiving: a gangster looking fellow being intelligent. I'm not afraid to admit that I do judge people. But, purely for the sole purpose of knowing who I should associate myself with. For instance, I wouldn't want to be a friend with someone who is just has an electron cloud invisibly around them. It would be just too difficult to keep a positive attitude towards life. It's bad for my inner Chi, man.
