My challenge to you///
I challenge you to the death
Look in the mirror, thorough and deep
Make one change, from now till your last breath.
And every word you speak, let it be a vow to keep.
Let your actions be absolute,
As the Father seeing from every angle.
Let your faith be resolute,
Becoming God's faithful Angel.
I challenge you to the death.
Til present with the Lord, and absent from earth asleep.

Koi

Today has been awkward. I hate being placed in another's battle, by force. It makes me very uncomfortable, and it is difficult to withdraw.
Certain events of the day made me think about relationships and how people go about making them.

It all started during 1st period. Actually, it also ended in first period until I got on the bus home...but anyway, it began again in 2nd period. How can I put this vaguely....aww forget it. There's no way to beat around this bush. You see, our teacher is single, and some of my classmates were talking about her being picky. One suggested taking her free time to go out and find a man. (<---a comment from a male student). Another said to ignore that suggestion and wait for one to find her (<----female student).

It as though now there techniques to finding a spouse, and it is a little troublesome and...I don't know....This is going to sound so corny...Insulting to the name of love.

As I meantioned like, 10 times before, I am a strong "Anything is Possible" advocate. So I am a little bewildered on how one would want to limit themselves with "techniques" and "gimicks" just to find someone. Anyone can go fishing with a rod or a spear, but isn't it a lot easier to just let the fish come to you? It takes something both special about the person and the fish in order for this to happen.

Let's say that you are in an area full of the most beautiful koi fish in the world, and they come to you of their own free will. But, oddly, they either die within a few days or weeks, or swim away to another. Why stay in the same area? Why fall for that same or similar beauty if you know they only break your heart in the end? So what if they are the most beautiful, there must be something wrong with them internally for them to die off so quickly or to swim away. Have enough courage to leave your comfort zones and find better, more loyal, fish.

Don't trade and don't settle for anything less that what your worth (you know, I bet there are people who think they are worthless. Sometimes I think I am)if you do, it can only end badly....

It's good to value certain virtues, their not worth giving up. I value Loyalty.

Is Beauty really a worthy trade for loyalty?

No, beauty fades whereas loyalty can last forever

I have questioned myself about this beauty issue. If someone unseemly approaches you in the spririt of love and sticks by you with that same feeling, you can't help but admire them just for their courage. As long as he has a heart of gold, I would love him even if he looked like the beast.

Here is an example:
Let's see here...what is the most ugliest creature I can think of...Mr.Bumpy is a good candidate. Now someone dropdead gorgeous...hmmm....let's go WAY out there (Mom suggested this one, very...funny): Ororo(Storm), or even Princess Aurora. Here are pictures of the three:

Mr. Bumpy
Storm
Princess Aurora

I didn't mean to make this into a comedy, but do you catch my drift?

Is loyalty a worthy trade for security?

Let's analyze this. Is trading something that can take only 50 (more or less) days to achieve and last a lifetime, for something that takes 50 years (more or less) that only lasts however long you can properly maintain, a good trade?

No, because no one will ever be 100% secure. Sure, there is financial security, but one wrong move can make you lose it all. It takes serious wisdom to handle large amounts of money and make it last. Even if you succeed, just think of all the time, and sometimes stress, you would have to endure and waste just to make the money last and keep it flowing. It's chaotic. Another thing to consider is that no one really knows what they want. And on top of that, to trade one's loyalty for money, your either buying love or you are a gold digger.

Loyalty for health?

I look at it this way: You can be healthy, have an affair, and end up catching stds.
If you are loyal, you will keep yourself healthy for love's sake at least.
Another way that I look at it, a way that most people dislike: Why would I intentionally sleep with someone- I don't know...a boyfriend- who may not be my spouse in the future, and catch something that I could give to him?

Yeah...I think I can redefine loyalty if you wanted me to.....

Gosh, there are so many concerns and questions I have on the issue of love...But in a way, I am afraid to have them answered. I feel as though there is always a price to satiate my curiousity. I might get hit with a bamboo stick or something.
When I become older, maybe whenever I am 20, I intend on making a nice little list...
