  I just wish that everyone in the world would just stop all the wars that are going on and start loving each other and get the world back to the way it once was were we all lived in hammering and get along just fine is that to much to ask for.

• My opinion on human nature

  Yes, from the Christian viewpoint

  From the Christian way of thinking, we are all born in sin. Because of the original sin of Adam and Eve, everyone is born into sin. Therefore no one is completly good except for Jesus Christ. We have a desire in us to rebel. The only thing holding us back from rebelling is the consequence that follows. Choosing to be good is just that, a choice. Same with being bad. But we are more inclined to choose to be bad because of our natural design. The people that say no to this question are afraid that we might be on to something. They do not want to face the realization that we are all terrible people. But (if you are a Christian) because of Jesus taking that consequence from us, we try to live our lives as best we can to model our lives after Jesus Christ. This is why the existance of us is not pointless.

• I feel concerned about...

  I am concerned for others. I'm also Concerned about the way other people Treat others, do they treat them fairly and with respect there are many who don't that is my biggest concern.

• A trick or piece of advice

  “Look inside your soul and find your tools. We all have tools and have to live with the help of them. I have two tools: my words and my images. I used my typewriter, computer, and my cameras to fight injustice. Whenever I see a possibility of helping people who are in danger, I want to help them.”

• Life regrets

  I regret Not getting a better education even though I could not read or write I have been teaching myself

• Improving the school system

  I really don't know I had problems at school trying to learn and That was really heard.

• Over or underrated
