I have a paper to hand in when I take my Core 10 final...

I swear, I should make a complaint against this guy, he can NOT teach.

Lizziey, a 30 point curve means that everyone failed, so he changed our grades so that if you got a 50, it was recorded as an 80 instead.

Anyway. In order to do this paper, I'm supposed to interview someone, and I forgot until now. It has to be two pages, double spaced, but I don't mind blending answers from different people. Cheating, yes, but he'll never know.

The questions are:

What do YOU think the meaning of life is?
Have you always felt this way?
What has affected your opinion on this matter?

*huggles* Those who help get, um... marshmallows?

I think the meaning of life is to be as Christlike as possible, striving to figure out and achieve what God has put us on Earth for. As a non-spiritual take on this, I simply find that the meaning of life is to be as generous and kind to others on this earth as possible, since everyone goes through serious turmoil throughout their lives; some have it harder than others. Further narrowed down, it's to love people and enjoy life despite what troubles are thrown our way.

I haven't entirely felt this way my whole life. I've only recently (in the past 7 years) decided God existed and had a leading role in this. I've always felt that we should be kind to others and to live life to the fullest, immersing ourselves in wholesome things we enjoy. Although I try to be kind to people who may not understand the concept of kindness, I eventually find it necessary to withdraw from my efforts if it's only being met with hostility or I find I'm just being used. I've only learned THAT difficult lesson with experience and age.

I was always raised to have compassion for people no matter what their ethnic, cultural, or financial background; what color their skin is; or what their sexual preference may be. We're all human and deserve love and respect. The only things that have changed are my growing cynicism due to continual exposure and witness to horribly immoral people (who probably never had anyone truly be nice to them growing up and if someone does so they have abused that kindness) and on the other hand my newly found faith in a God I cannot proof-wise fathom.
