Simplicity 2

I chose the idea about how some people like to inflate things so the sound smarter and others think the work is better. I chose this idea because it is something that I do often. If I do not want to use the same word twice I might use another word that means the same thing and sounds smarter. I do believe that this applies to other things because many people think that by making something more complicated (was going to write intricate) that it is better. Something that a lot of people forget is that for centuries people found that there was beauty in simplicity.

I think that this was William Zinner's idea as well because he wrote "our nations tendency is to inflate and therefor sound important." I think that he couldn't get more right because if we had kept things simple and didn't advance the way that we did there wouldn't be any pollution and people would all know how to work hard. I read a book about a different world that people never got farther in technology than swords and shields and everything is simple and they have no problems with the environment or and people all contribute.

William Zinner's says in his essay "the secret of good writing is to strip it down to its simplest components." Another reason that I chose this quote was because I had never put to much thought into how if I keep something simple it could be just as good if not better. I think that I still will do it sometimes but I think that when I do I will think about how and if I can make it better by making in simple and easier for others to understand. The last thing that I will talk about is when I am writing I sometimes write with my "vision" and don"t think about if the reader will understand it or not. I understand now that by rereading my work I can make it easier for others to understand.

This I Believe

I do not have many strict beliefs because each of my parents grew up in a different religion. I have never had any beliefs forced on me letting me think about things in my own way. I do believe that I can fight for what I think is right and that I can do something worth doing. I am constantly questioning what I think and other people’s beliefs as well. I have never tried to change someone’s beliefs and never will.

I believe in what I think is best for now and for the future, I do not think about what my beliefs of what others think in the past are. I believe that I can think about any situation with any perspective and still be respective of what other people’s beliefs are. I have never had my beliefs truly shaken because I don’t have set beliefs. I do often rethink many things in my beliefs when I speak to other not religious or more religious people. I often rethink my beliefs when I speak to my father about things like this because he is a very scientific man. He thinks about many things with a scientific point of view and can answer questions I have with a very different more educated answer than I could think of.

I do have some slightly more strict beliefs about the way I think things should be done and the way people should act about each other. I do believe that someone should be judged by what they have done in the past and what type of person they can be in good moments and in bad. I also believe that one person should be treated like they have the same chance at success as any other person. Any person is as good as another until proven to be better or worse. I have seen people be mean and judgmental to others without having even met them or giving them a chance to be good. I believe that some of the best people can be some of the people who start off looking the worst.

The day I was first judged without even meeting people I can’t remember. This is because I probably did not even hear the person speak and might not even have been old enough to remember. I can’t tell you how many times I have been unfairly judged but I wish I could. If I could know how many times I have been I have been unfairly judged I would try to stop people from judging others that many times or I might try to prove all of them wrong just to prove that you can’t judge someone without knowing them. I believe that people are all good until proven otherwise.
