I recently watched a movie in my history class called "The Kite Runner", its a movie about friendship, loyalty, guilt, and redemption. I first thought this was just going to be another sad story about kids suffering in Afghanistan, but in the first 15 minutes, i was sucked in. It really showed me what a good friend really is. and how much loyalty plays a part in the friendship. As much as a friend can be good to you, there are friends that don't deserve the loyalty that you give to them. "You are willing to do so much for him, but have you ever thought that if he was put in your position, he would do the same for you?" I've always been like this, no matter what kind of friend i have. Some friends went behind my back, and even stole things from me; right in front of me too! But thats a risk you'll have to make to be a good person. Some people you try to be-friend, just dont realize how important friendships are, and they ruin it.
On another subject. Watching this movie, saddened me in many ways. But most of all, it saddens me to know that these kinds of incidents happen in our world. The children of our future suffer because of the stupid mistakes we make. Why do they have to go through all this drama, and they havent even been able live a good life yet. Havent experienced growing up, responsibility, love, happiness. Its insane to know what happens to kids these days, the malevolent things adults do. How do people complain about a hard life; wishing for a better world, when they do absolutely nothing to make the world a better place? As for me, i try to do my part as a resident of Earth, to do what i can, to help. Little things count, always. One day, you might think that littering just a little candy wrapper wont hurt anyone, think again. You're wrong, it hurts everyone. Just take those 3 seconds and just stick it in your pocket, then throw it away when you get home. Im no environmentalist, but i am one of those millions of people who care about what happens to the young people that will live in the world we leave them.
If you think what i'm talking about is nonsense, watch this movie, read this book. THEN tell me if you think what i've said is worthless.
As Coach Wright always says during warm-ups - "If you dont do it, they wont."
