#8 What's love got to do with it?
In the book of Song of Solomon, love is very complex and hard to find. A prime example is macon's wife Rose. Eventhough she's treated unfair and not treated the way she's suppose to be treated, she still stays because she feels that no one would want her because she's too old. In this situation, love is complicated because she can't leave the ungrateful,selfish man she's married to. Even if she does leave him she would have no one. Pilate on the other hand, seeks love and won't allow it to happpen. Pilate is still stuck in between childhood and reality which is growing up. She feels that if she dates anyone her dad will find out and she would be judged or treated unfair, so she tries to avoid i. Love is complicated int his situation because she wants someone to love but can't have it because she doesnt want anyone to know. In this book, love defines, haterd, darkness, and betrayal. Love is very complex in this story because its hard to seek and hard to get through the tough times.

With Knowledge comes suffering
Driving: We would have to go through our parents to get the car.
Punishment: Most of us get in trouble over the nst simplest things.
No freedom: We can't go anywhere without permission, can't get a job without asking, and we can't get the car when we need it.
Why is being a teenager such a pain in the A$*? I don't understand.
NO FREEDOM AT ALL!!!!

My response #4
I believe in fate. I believe that our life is already determined and that things happen for a reason. Things maybe harsh in times but things happen for a reason. It's either teaching you a lesson or giving you answers to what you dont know. Fate is destined to happen to anybody. Many people believe in freewill because they use examples like: If you eat something and you became sick the next morning its your own fault. You chose to eat the food. No it's determined! that sounds stupid.
My Icon: Holy Cross
"Anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me" (Matthew 10:38)he also said, " if anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily" (Luke 9:23)
The suffering of the crucifixion made the cross a dramatic symbol of pain, distress and burden bearing. I believe Jesus used the Cross as a symbol to portray the spiritual sacrifice required of his followers. The holy cross represents "Life". Around the world and throughout history, people have used signs and symbols in their faith. In many countries today, the most famous religious symbols are Christianity because it reminds people of the death of Jesus.
I truly believe that the holy cross is "only" used for good and never bad. The Holy Cross is used against us in many ways and it is not always used for good. For example, The KKK. They usually burned down the crosses because they had different beliefs. The Holy Cross is one of the earliest and most widely used Christian symbol. A great variety of crosses has developed some with specific symbolic meaning and others that have simply become culturally associated with certain group. The Cross because of what it represents it is the most potent and universal symbol of the Christian faith. It has inspired private devotions: for example, the sign of the Cross, which is an invocation of the Holy Trinity. We remember our lord's words," He who does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake shall find it” (Mt 10:38,39) Meditating on these words we unite ourselves with his obedience and his sacrifice.
