If we only choose to use it, love can be used to “save the world” "Try to realize it's all within yourself No-one else can make you change" Could be talking about how if everyone realized we were one body in some senses, and stop fighting over this or that and being self-centered we could change for the better. Or that we have to realize change comes from within ourselves rather than out in the world. "And to see you're really only very small, And life flows on within you and without you." We really are very small in the Universe, a tiny ant crawling on the surface of this planet. Which is also very small in size compared to other objects in the Universe such as, the Sun, Jupiter, etc.
This way, when my religion began to wane at times I never once felt like that meant I could just be a bad person. Those two parts of my life were always kept completely separate so that if someday if I abandoned religion wholesale, I would not abandon who they expected me to

Do you mind, Mr. Wright?" - Richard Wright, Chapter 2, Black Boy •"You can't eat a dead dog, can you?" - Richard Wright, Chapter 2, Black Boy •"If I kissed my elbow, I would turn into a girl." - Richard Wright, Chapter 2, Black Boy •"At the age of twelve, before I had had one full year of formal schooling, I had a conception of life that no experience would ever erase, a predilection for what was real that no argument could ever gainsay, a sense of the world that was mine and mine alone, a notion as to what life meant that no education could ever alter, a conviction that the meaning of living came only when one was struggling to wring a meaning out of meaningless suffering."
I’m really curious about what is out there. I guess there is only one way to find out, I can’t wait! Oh shoot! Forgot to clean out the volcanoes! Entry 2 I wish there was a better way of traveling instead of using a flock of wild birds…but I mean beggars can be choosers.
The obstacles Bilbo faced helped him realize that there is more to him than he first came to believing . “something is the matter with you! You are not the same hobbit that you were”, “I wish I was back in my hobbit hole by my own warm fireside with lamp shining!” “like a different person, and much fiercer and bolder…” “… never had any adventures or did anything unexpected” “there is more good than you know, child of the kindly west. Some courage and some wisdom, blended in measure”. not the same
WILDERNESS SURVIVAL For those of you who don’t know, I am a boy scout. I am sure some of you would love to be a boy scout or GIRL scout. It is fun after all, but what if you’re on a hike, MILES away from civilization and you suddenly found your-self………lost. There are no cell phone towers to contact anyone, plus walking around until you find someone is just going to get you even more lost then you already are. What you should do first of all is just stay put where you are.
During the summer after my sophomore year of college, I spent 8 weeks in Guatemala on a service trip that I ventured into with the naïve notions that I was saving the world. Bright eyed with excitement over the opportunity to make an impact, I was about to step outside of my little bubble into one of the most eye opening and humbling experiences. Probably the most defining moment of the trip happened when I was in Nebaj. As I sat on the La Pista runway, gazing up at the beautiful mountains surrounding me, all I saw was beauty and serenity. I openly marveled at the breathtaking surroundings around me, only to see pained reactions from my host family.
Transcendentalism A whole month of being nice, from the start, I didn't think it was even humanly possible. Although I always try my hardest to be pleasant, I'm sarcastically witty by nature. This project, no matter how inspirational and uplifting it could be, would decidedly be no walk in the park. Nevertheless, I decided to persevere. Even if I ended up being a complete transcendental failure, maybe I'd still learn something along the way.
I never even had the thought of listening to the lawn mower outside, cars passing by or dogs barking at me as “music.” Not saying that I now enjoy listening to random rambunctious noise outside. However, I now pay more attention to listening to my surroundings rather than trying to over power any other noise around me. The National Symphony Concert was as memorable as I had expected it to be, just not in the way I pictured it. Without melodious music, life would be dull and mundane. However, music is all around us in any form.
