rich and poor

Having a society with rich and poor balances everything out. Nothing in life is fair, so to say that having a lot of money is unfair to the people who don’t, just doesn’t make sense. I do believe that people have money for a reason; they have worked and earned it. Sitting around all day isn’t going to get you anywhere. Money doesn’t grow on trees, to make money at least some effort has to be brought forth. It annoys me when people say they would have money if they could find a job. It isn’t that hard to get a job, you just have to look around and put out applications, sometime or another you will find something. Without different classes I don’t think the economy would survive. We need the rich, middle class, and poor to keep it in check. Some people are rich for ridiculous reasons, like athletes. Professional athletes should not make the amount of money that some of them do. Just because a person is good at baseball, doesn’t mean they deserve more money then a doctor who saves lives for a living. A professional athlete doesn’t benefit anyone. I can not seem to understand why a person who does a real career makes less than an athlete? Like I said before, life is not fair, and it will never be. In life it takes a lot to be successful, and a lot of people expect the best to be handed to them which isn’t going to happen. Not all poor people are lazy, they just don’t try as hard or care enough to be successful and have a good job. Also in many cases people are not making good money because their education is not as high as it should be. Unless you graduated from college, it will be hard to survive in the real world. Society will eat you up and you will find yourself to be miserable. Rich or poor doesn’t matter as long as you find happiness in the way things are going. I could be living in a box or in a mansion and still be happy. Rich is associated with materialistic items while poor is means not having much at all, either way happiness is free of charge and is something that everyone can have. That is one thing about life that is fair, everyone can find happiness in one thing or another no matter what social class you belong to. The social classes are more fair then not because it can always change, you could be poor one day and rich the next, or the other way around. Nothing is written in stone and that a good thing.

love

Love can not be defined. Everyone has a different type of love and shows it in different ways. Your type of love may not be the same as mine. People throw around the word love like it has no meaning. I can understand loving your friends and family, I tell my friends I love them all of the time, but it is a different type of love. The love for my friends is not the same as for a boyfriend or girlfriend. When people are in a relationship, it seems that they use the word love so soon. It takes time for love to grow and it shouldn’t be rushed. You may think you are in love, but how do you really know? How does anybody know when they are in love? I guess it is just the feeling you get when you are with a special person. This person can make you feel safe, warm, and happy, like you never want them to leave. I believe that you only find true love once, it may take a few tries, but when you fall in love that’s it. Love can be made into a job; you have to keep it alive. If there is no love, true love, relationships fail. I hear it is a hard thing to do, I have never fallen in love, I think being seventeen, love is just a fantasy. Relationships at this age are preparing us for love in the future, for when we are mature enough to work at it. I don’t think there is any specific age that you find love, and it is not impossible to find love at seventeen but I don’t think it is very common. Many teenagers will not become high school sweethearts and last forever, but for those who do it is really something special. That just means they were lucky enough to find each other at such a young age. There is a person for everyone, it may take some longer than others to find him or her, but eventually there time will come. Love is not something that a person needs, I feel as though we all want to find love, but it is not a necessity. We can all be fine without it. Love can be a comforting feeling, knowing that you will always have someone who cares about you and will do anything to please you, sure it sounds nice, and who wouldn’t want that? There is no such thing as having too much love. Love comes in unlimited amounts, you can’t measure the love you have for a person, it’s infinite. True love never fades, it has phases maybe ups and downs but there is always that chemistry between the two people. Love is complicated and people are blinded by love, or at least what they think love is. Love can camouflage someone’s flaws and portray something that is not real. I think this is also a big problem between couples, so you must always keep your eyes open when it comes to having a partner.
