Great Essays
I decided to leave Puri going southbound coast to coast. I was heading for Goa, a kind of popular place at that time, and there I met one of the guys that left Roma with me. I found out through him, that they had all separated. He told me that the rest of my former friends went back to Roma and a couple of them had bad experiences with the law at the Indian border, due to the guns they were carrying. I felt extremely lucky once more for the fact that I was still in India having the experience of a lifetime.

The same can be attributed to the advancement of the digital technology. The computer, this digital god, will allow us to see and understand the entire world and the visible universe. Going further into it, will also help us in the attempt for the discovering of the unknown, the dark antimatter. The negative angle of the scientific and industrial science will also permit, whoever holds such technology to reduce to small fragments or even pulverize a target that has the size of a pin’s head, from the space above. A scary view, more than a reassuring one, is an invasive triumph, that allows the dominant to perpetrate. Let us not forget the high volume of pollution and space debris which is not what this creation was designed to experience. It is a process that creates a race for who owns the most in space, increasing personal wealth that for now, is still in the form of paper and plastic. The goal of those that rule the game of life, is to transmute the physical monetary value into a unique and digital one. An action that will increase the widening and the imbalance of the world’s wealth, and at the same time and in the most selfish manner, will negate the ones that have not to be part of the project; an intrinsic value of the Creator’s plan; given rights that were benevolently entrusted to us all for the sharing.

To be self-serving, one must make virtuous decisions. One must first love oneself (in a self-serving manner) before one can truly love another; a common example of this is Scrooge. Once he loved himself, he was able to help others and give to them just for the satisfaction of giving, and received so much more in return (the inherent reward of giving that is). These individuals develop friendships; Aristotle claims that “a friend is another self”.…

    It is often said that teenagers begin discovering themselves in high school, but I did the opposite- I lost myself. The source of my pleasure and delight shifted from books to parties, writing to boys, and video-games to my social life. Something within me desperately craved to be normal- to no longer be the girl that gets harassed and ostracized for being an “appalling nerd” and because of this, vital aspects of my personality began to change and I morphed into an entirely different person. Through this journey, I learned that my self-hate was a catalyst for self-love and appreciation. Having always been considered an unusual girl in the eyes of my peers, I'd never been truly comfortable in my skin.…
