Sensing the Hidden

After boasting this way of  tolerance,
you come to the admission that it has a limit.
Conduct may be founded on the hard rock or the wet marshes,
but after a certain point what it’s founded on is not of care.
From the East last autumn the world was needed to be in uniform and forever moral attention ;
wanting no more riotous excursions;
privileged glimpses of human heart begin to appear.
Exempt from reaction
everything was represented by an unaffected scorn.
Personality is an unbroken series of successful gestures,
something gorgeous,
something heightened,
sensitivity to the promises of life,
its sense can be registered ten thousand miles away.(Fitzgerald 6)

All About the Money...?

            I find this interesting, who would marry for money? Greedy people? Obviously  I find it selfish to go for someone just for there money, it is the exact same as going after someone just for there looks. Why would you deceive someones feelings for your own enjoyment. People have feelings and when you go after someone for the things they have except for going after the person for his or her qualities, it not only degrades yourself but it in the end you are holding someone on a web full of lies. "You only live once," Yes, an over used phrase, but think about it, people only live once and do you really think that they would want to live in reality or your lies.

             I for one would never marry someone for money, personality is the biggest factor when looking for someone. Yes looks play a little part; having a pretty wife is always nice, but the personality always plays the biggest factor. Maybe that's just me, but honestly I think that's how it should be, spouses loving each other for who they are and not what they have. People of today always refer to other people being corrupted; husband or wife, they are only with their spouse for the things other than for whole they truly are. Corrupted much? umm yeah! Don't be a "monkey see monkey do" and be like everyone else, be true to your future partner, don't crush others peoples life for your own greed!

Looks Deceive

Looks are very deceptive, you always hear people saying "never judge a book by its cover" and that is 100% true. Just because someone looks ugly doesn't mean you have to go out and be mean to him, or just completely ignore him, and I find this very interesting because more than half the people out there say that they honestly don't judge people by their looks, but yet they still do it. The same can go for people that are beautiful, even though they may be pretty , you can never tell how their personality is going to be, and that's the problem with society today, we see someone and we are like "Oh, shes so amazing and beautiful..." or "Oh my god, that guy is so hot and amazing...". Both genders are deceived so easily in today's time and I find it to be very foolish, and idiotic when one does judge. Everyone judges no matter what, I am not going to lie , even i judged someone, I'm not going to say I don't because there is going to be a few occasions in life here you are going to judge someone, even if you don't notice it.  I despise people who judge intentionally, because not only are you bringing down their self esteem , and the respect you have for yourself. When people judge they are judging to bring up their own self esteem and that is just sad, very degrading. Don't judge someone by their cover, it's not cool at all , respect people and respect yourself.
