Peace isn’t Easy, but it is Worth it

March 27, 2023 / / 0 Comments

I’m the son of  minute man, loyal patriot. Big brother to Lionel, with whom I share the loss of a mother from a young age. I am a boy determined to make a difference, determined to change the world in whatever way I can. Recently I decided this journal would be where I wrote about what happened, so people and history could know my point of view. They call me Philip Floyd, and I call this the story of my life.

What Changed?

Lots changed in the USA after the US Revolution. There was now a president instead of a king, and later on women were allowed to run for president. We traded King George III for President George Washington. The leader no longer ruled nor was in charge of the church; there was now freedom of religion. The life you were born into was no longer your destiny. As well as a lot more.

What Stayed the Same?

 

How Much Of A Humanist Are You? I’m 80% a Humanist!

October 20, 2022 / / 0 Comments
According to the infographic, I am ~80% a humanist. I decided to turn the five categories into a total of ten instead of five for each category, and so I split each belief into two, it was one point (1/2) if I kind of agreed, and two points (2/2) if I totally agreed. For example, I completely agreed with social status, so I was 2/10 a humanist so far, but I only somewhat agreed with life control, so then I was 3/10 a humanist. I believe it is good sometimes to go with the flow if you agree with the flow, as well as going with the flow sometimes because it is good every once in a while instead of never at all. Over all I became roughly 8/10 a humanist so I converted that into ~80%, so I am ~80% a humanist.

In W.D. Wetherell’s “The Bass, The River and Sheila Mant” on pages 4-5, The internal conflict – character vs. self – happens when the protagonist is forced to make a tough decision between catching the bass of his life or looking cool in the eyes of Sheila Mant. The conflict is resolved when he – the protagonist – chooses to cut the fishing line and release the bass. The protagonist has regretted his decision ever since.
