United we stand, divided we fall.

How do we know what’s right or wrong? How can we fight the injustice of the world? There’s only one way the world will change for the better.

After Brexit, continually we see the rise of leaders who are like Donald Trump, people who want to take their country back.

This is because ultimately and logically speaking there only exists understanding. The lack of understanding is ignorance. But ignorance and understanding are in a way the same side to the same coin. To further understand something is to become ignorant of not understanding it. Yet, it is not the same in that to be ignorant is to understand.

It is neither to understand, nor be ignorant, that is how realization is born. To be aware of that which is, and how it is. Humans don’t want to live by the hatred of one another, we all want to be loved and happy. Yet society deludes us because the roots of greed go very deep.

Has the time come for us to remember our roots, but rise above them? Remember where we’ve come from, but not to let that get in the way of where we are going? How can we do this? When people get together to change the world, when people come together by the millions, anything is possible.

We decide what kind of world we want to live in, and the impossibility of a peaceful world is drilled into society. A peaceful world though is only impossible because we think it is. There are far better ways to solve problems than by killing.

It is depressing actually, that we still haven’t learned this. We’ve been here so long, have so much history recorded and it’s all right in front of us, yet we remain blind to it. If you ask what this thing is, then that is indicative that you don’t understand. It means you perceive this thing as a constant entity that can be understood and upon reaching that understanding you now understand it. This is not the case.

This thing is understanding itself, it is a process. It itself cannot be understood because it is itself. The way in which most people understands does not allow them to see this, they narrow their minds and cannot see beyond their own created barriers. Only the nature of understanding, how it acts can begin to be understood which gives us insight to understanding itself.

It is a constant struggle, to work with that which is occurring in the world around us, especially since in today’s world so much happens that prevents us from having these thoughts. So many people die for a week so that they can live for a weekend. But even farther, there are children, brothers, sisters, fathers, and mothers that are dying out there.

Families everywhere are being shattered by war, and until people begin to reach this realization that I have spoken of, the senseless killing will remain. It may not be easy, it actually in theory is the most difficult thing that can ever be done. But at what point, will we say “Enough is enough?” At what point will we come together with the roots planted in us of those who have come to pass through the greed of cruel men? The time has passed for us to take our fate into our own hands, but will we choose to take our world back from those that insist on dividing it apart? United we stand, divided we fall.


He saw it as much as everyone: "When people stand together, and are prepared to fight back, there is nothing that can't be accomplished."

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
