Life: Everyone's Game

-Remember these lessons on life... Because life is so much like a game, it's insane.

Here's the tutorial....

You don't have a save button, nor do you have any extra lives, so make this one life count very much.

You don't have a horde of enemies trying to kill you; don't be paranoid and think so. Most people who act mean and rude don't know the better parts of life. Be optimistic and try to make friends and not create foes. You are NOT strong for fighting and hating, nor is anyone else.

You're not going to level up in the classic sense. But you will gain experience, and with that, you will become a stronger individual. Just make sure to use said experiences to forward a positive lifestyle.

You have power-ups, sure: Love and friendship will make you a bright, endearing individual should you choose to preserve and strengthen them. Hate and prejudice make you weak and spiteful, in the end, so don't succumb.

Your strongest weapons are really in your soul, heart, and mind. You can easily kill another's soul, heart, or mind with simple words on an incredibly small scale, or injure them with just a gesture. Why would you? Allies and beloved friends will get you much farther.

Remember how to cast spells... Press others buttons metaphorically with affection, and don't be afraid to. There is a certain charm in truly close friendship no hex or mysticism could ever rival.

As life is not a game, your freedom is boundless. Use that very freedom to make more freedom for others, in the form of care and decency. When this freedom is spread, the fond endurance of friendship will flourish.

-You're playing life at the hardest difficulty at every point, but with practice and friends to support you, you're invincible to it's hardships. And no one knows how the game ends, but before it does, you want to play your heart out. As long as you enjoy the game, you will have won. ~By Donovan Grochala.

♀♥♀Same-Sex Marriage♂♥♂

March 18, 2009

Donovan Grochala

Have you ever taken the time to ask your friends about themselves? How could one guess that perhaps their best friend has a different sexual orientation? This is what some people must realize, and in their shoes, would you really care about their life-styles? One would appreciate the fact that their friends are normal people, and in truth, would stand up for their rights.

However, we have a problem: There are many people in the world, in the United States especially, that discriminate against those with separate sexual orientations out of a lack of understanding combined with false propaganda. Some religious abusers and certain groups take unnecessary action against Homosexuals and Bisexuals on a basis. Lately, for about a dozen years arguments have been heavy on whether marriage for these individuals should be legalized and a large percentage of Americans take a conservative stance and say no. I understand that many Americans are conservatives and they may feel uncomfortable making this change, but for the good of millions all around the U.S., they simply need to come out of their shells and stop hiding from the fact that ideals determine the ‘what’ in a person, not the ‘who’ in a person. For the common good of Americans, they need to learn not to waste time only to put others down, for that drags us downwards as a whole. (www.gallup.com)

The majority of arguments provided are religious-based... and even then, irrelevant or weak. Christian and Judaist religions have several arguable passages that say that any actions between same-sex couples is a crime against God and that doing so condemns them, but these are also argued to be invalid. Leviticus 18:22 and Leviticus 20:13 are prime examples for Judaism. They say a man should never sleep with another man; but these were created to disclose Canaanites as sinners for their Pagan-like rituals, many years ago. They are argued to have no meaning today because in no way are same-sex actions seen as a Pagan ritual any more. The bible condemns Homosexual actions where they are mentioned at all, but never against thoughts. Even then, it is also argued that the implied meaning of the Bible and Christianity is love and caring and that the only reason Homosexuality is mentioned at all is because of certain Catholic authorities centuries ago who held enough power to put others down. (www.procon.org) and (www.religioustolerance.org)

The U.S. Constitution and its amendments tell us several things. They tell us that that every citizen is to be able to live their life with liberty and the pursuit of happiness. All men are created equal, and denying same-sex couples breaks that, by physically limiting what they are able to do. That would mean it would be unconstitutional to ban same-sex marriages, because they are humans, men and women, like any other; but with a different outlook. What is the United States but a free haven for all of those who think alike? We are told it is the land of the free and the home of the brave, yet just about half the Americans in the U.S. are against same-sex marriage based on fear and hate, not based on love and freedom. (The U.S. Constitutional Amendments) (The U.S. Declaration of Independence)

So, I ask you this: When you are asked to make the crucial decision of whether to vote for same-sex marriage rights, consider all of this. Contemplate upon what you actually know of Gays and Bisexuals and where what you know comes from. Be a true American and don’t listen to the handpicked contempt of those whose only justifications are their rights to speak their mind, for you have every right to decide for yourself what is right. Remember the Constitution and the Preamble, and remember the point of the U.S. in the first place. Look at who people are, and not what their life-styles are, for if that is what you do, you are going against the country with your mind.
