Sad Words


People say and do things in life that they may not realize may not be the best for them along with things they wonder about
All too often people do things they regret. It is part of life that happens all the time. Things that are said along with actions combined are not easy to admit or even talk about. Having a way to talk about regrets and mistakes can be something that is hard to do for most people as a result of not knowing how to put it into words. “For all of sad words of tongue or pen the saddest are these “it might have been” is a saying that is very true. It casts doubt on situations because of not being able to see the entire picture until later on with the ability to eventually move on.
Learning in life is something everyone can do but not something everyone does from being too ignorant and unwillingness to learn. They do not see both or all sides of a situation to be able to understand it better. Part of life is learning new things. Some do not learn from not having diverse friends or being exposed to different cultures or people. However, it is hard for some to change. It is a foreign concept for them to be put into different situations. They are unsure what to do or say so they go with the flow in addition to whether or not they become more comfortable around people that are different than them. Doing so leads often leads to becoming more open minded from seeing that it is okay to be different.
Moving on is just as tough because of the future being unsteady waters. They do the best they can with different experiences with different people. Often times, they do not put themselves in others shows to get a better understanding of others way of life or thinking. They not only have no idea how to do so but do not want to either. They do not realize what they are currently doing.  With time some realize what their mistakes were and how to fix it. With that comes learning and moving forward with a different view in addition to outlook on life.

Obstacles


Obstacles are all over the place in life with people reacting to them as well as dealing with them in different ways
Obstacles will always be around in life it is how they are overcome that can make a difference. Also, it is how one is overcome that is a big step for anyone. Learning from it and helping others is one way that some are able to deal with it. Many do not overcome different situations that results in getting stuck in the past instead of moving on. However, there are just as many that are able to overcome because of seeing that life goes on and they can also. seeing what life can become after the situation has passed is something that many have seen. Getting past the emotion that come from time to time can be hard to deal with but worth it in the end.
Many do not realize that obstacles are put in the way to overcome them with or without help. Life is full of obstacles of different sizes and time frames. Some are slower than others to overcome obstacles because of taking a little more time. Each is different as the next for each person. The same situations may take more time for one person as a friend. Each obstacle is put in the way to see how much can be handled along with how it is handled. Teaching and helping others can affect everyone in a positive way as a result of being able to learn from someone else who went through something similar.
Everyone overcomes obstacles at some point. As with anything else baby steps lead to that. Often times it may not seem like much but it will in time. It takes time to do anything with time comes the proof to show. It shows that anything can and will be done. It also shows that it will benefit others by helping them. The result is that everyone wins by simply helping each other when needed.

Intolerance


Intolerance is rampant through the United States along with the rest of the world that stems from believing the misconceptions and assumptions made long ago
Recently, a Chief Diversity officer at Gallaudet school in Maryland was suspended for signing a petition that supports Gay Marriage. The unique thing is that she is not only a black woman; but, she is also Deaf. She was doing what she thinks is right when it comes to showing support and diversity for everyone regardless. s of their sexual orientation. Gallaudet is known for being the leading College for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students. The result of this has been that Gallaudet has come under fire for doing something that should not have been done.
This story was shown as a clip on a televised Christian show. At first, the man who was talking about it seemed as though he was accepting of the Gay community because of the way he talked about it before the clip was shown. However, after it was shown he degraded the Gay people as if it is a sin for Gay people to want equality in this world. What many do not realize is that God accepts everyone for who they are not their sexuality or skin color. The bible was written by men who could put anything they want in the Bible including homosexuality being a sin. It is not “Godly” at all to judge someone because of being different when God himself created the world to be different. Learning from others instead of discriminating is one thing everyone can learn from
Intolerance is people not accepting others for who they are. Instead, they judge and discriminate for being different. The difference is that many people are set in their ways to where they do not accept others for who they are.  People are brought up to think a certain way and act a certain way. Being different is something nobody can change. People lead different lives with some not caring what others think about them.
Intolerance is one thing that will always be around until the end of time. It is because of people being people and judging others. Accepting others for who they are is better than discriminating against others for being different.

EAP


Edgar Allen Poe was a man that is famous and infamous for many different reasons one being the gruesome details in his poems.
What many people forget about is his gentle side. He cared about the family he had up until and after they died. His wife Virginia died of Tuberculosis in 1847 that left him devastated and unhappy. He wrote gentle poems such as “To Helen” of his love for women in his life. Love had been one of the things that had eluded him his entire life along with it never lasting long for different reasons each time. “To Helen” had originally been published in November of 1848 in the Union Magazine.
His full legacy he left behind after he died as any legacy often does after death which lead to him being  more famous than infamous. Annabel Lee, The Tell Tale Heart, The Raven as well as short stories such as Descent into the Maelstrom and The Pit and the Pendulum are a few of the things that most remember of him. Along with that is the rocky life he had in which his poems reflected. He had been somewhat delusional throughout his life from the recurring death that he encountered in addition to overwhelming sadness from life overall. He was a very talented poet that left behind quite a legacy.
Edgar Allan Poe was a man that paved the way for other poets and writers to write what they feel instead of what others wanted him to write. Learning from that is one thing that any poet can do.

Positive and Negative


Many people give up instead of enduring which leads to more suicides due to have more negative in life than positive
There are many negative things in all corners of the world. There are always going to be negativity in life some more difficult to address than others. Some may not want to address the negativity for different reasons from it being painful to do so or unwanted feelings. Problems hurt when confronted with the ability to learn from it. Doing so can be more beneficial than not learning from it.
A more positive change in outlook on life may seem little at first with the gradual progression as time goes on. The smallest things can make the biggest change even when it does not seem like it. Seeing things differently as well as in a better light on all sides of a situation can benefit everyone. Many wonder how to be more positive without realizing that it is like everything else in life. One step at a time. With that comes people eventually seeing the change made when they did not see it before. It is helping others make the same steps that can make a bigger difference.
Teaching others comes from both positive and negative experiences. How each one can be learned from as well as the bigger picture along with different angles. A different way of looking at the world is not bad just a different way of viewing life. learning from others means learning from what they have done and benefiting from the advice they have given. Seeing from their point of view on something that can be helpful.
With time, people learn from positive and negative experiences. Being able to teach others and show how beneficial positivity can be compared to negativity in life.
