“Right is right, even if everyone is for it; and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it”

-William Penn

Reflection: Everyone has their own vision of right. Everyone has their own vision of wrong. We cannot simply agree but launch debate.  In today’s world what is “right” is controlled by society, media or the government. Now, what is right? The government says “It is right for us to start a war for our benefits” but “It’s wrong for another country to start a war for their benefits” the topic is simply contradictory. Our vision of rightness is controlled and babbled by everyone except US. When we as human binges should think for ourselves and not just know what is right but to feel the right embrace in our soul. Those who do not let anyone or interfere in their right believes, are the ones who choose what’s right.

Cowardice asks the question "Is it safe?"

Expediency asks the question "Is it politic" 

Vanity asks the question "Is it popular?"

But, conscience asks the question, "Is it right?" 

And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, not popular, but one must take it because one's conscience tells one that it is right. 

- Martin Luther King. Jr 

Reflection: Over time, we face questions that challenge us in every aspect. We are put face to face with events that leaves questioning our morality  and our faith. in this quote, I imagine a mind overfilled with questions and obstacles. For example, a reckless teenager about to jump off a truck or something worse, could be thinking its fun but is it safe  while the other side is pushing him to do it. But, overall, the important question is "Is it right?", could it be right, does it feel right? What are we getting ourselves into? We carry courage, honor, dignity,and pride but we never carry whats right.

‘Right is right only when entire”

-          Victor Hugo

Student Reflection:  Right, what is right? Do we have the slightest idea of what is right? The whole world always says the “Right” things or to do the right things but have they done the right things? WAR, MONEY, MURDER? All these things all right? Of course not, but who are we to believe? We are the ones to do Right, we are right, just our actions need to be clearer and better.

“That which we persist in doing become easier to do, not that the nature of the thing has changed but that our power to do has increased”

-         Ralph Waldo Emerson

Student reflection:

 Over time, we develop strategies and ideas to fulfill certain goals or plans. Our hard work makes it possible for our dreams to become doable and easy. It is “not the nature of the thing” which is or could be what you are trying to create, but the fact that every day you try and get a little closer is what brings you closer.

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined”

-         Henry David Theorem

Reflection: We often dream that will succeed. We often dream of land with peace. We often get lost in our dreams that we do not turn those dreams into a reality. It’s like we are in a coma, and it’s hard to wake and to face the reality, the truth. Dreams are our escape and our reason to keep going but we ask ourselves, “Why? Why can’t our dreams come true?” and the truth, is that we either don’t work hard enough, or we are distracted by other realities and responsibilities or our dreams are simply meant to be but it does not mean we aren't meant to be happy. It comes with time.
