English

Despite the fact that English is my least favorite subject, especially when you have to take tests, I found something interesting about our test on friday.  On the test the essay question asked about deformed consciences and the influences that created the deformed conscience.  It finnished with "Are these influences still around in the world today?"  I found that part really interesting and my response went something like this:

There are many influences that lead to deformed consciences in the world today.  In fact, almost everyone comes into contact with them.  I am even willing to go as far as to say that nearly everyone has a deformed conscience.  Look at all the hypocrites in the world.  Look at all the people who are willing to take a life before it even has a chance to start out, people who condone responding to death with death, people who murder, people who rape, people who spread fire.  Look at the people who hoard tons of money while their nextdoor neighbor starves to death because they can't afford food.  More people than not these days break the one vow that is supposede to last a lifetime.  Look at all of the rape in the world.  Look at all the violence.  Few people can claim to have a true conscience anymore.

There is hope however.  There is a growing number of people who don't want to be hypocrites anymore.  A spreading number of people who actually believe in what they believe.  An expanding mass of people who are willing to "walk the talk."  These people can change the world and they will.  So there is hope, because remember that "these three remain; Faith, Hope, and Love, and the greatest of these is love."

That is similar to what I and I thought it was interesting.
