Statement - If you disagree with a rule, law, or public policy, it is better to remain silent than to speak out and risk punishment

My opinion is that it really depends on what kind of situation it is. If it is something that's hurting everyone, it is better to get more people to stand up to it with you. For me, if the punishment is very severe, I would be really considering if I should speak up to what's right. It is most probably right to stand up to a rule that's not very reasonable. But in order to do so, you need to have a good enough reason to be able to convince the people that the law is wrong, and we've got to fix this.

What's a GOOD life??

What is considered a "good" life is probably different for everyone. For me it would be being happy about who I am and what I believe. For some people might be having enough money is to have a good life or maybe some people might think being able to follow your religion is a good life. What I know for sure is that if other people think 'I would like to be like her' I think that's a good enough life to be happy with. To sum every thing up, I think a "Good" life is when you always try your best to be you best, enjoying what you do, and being able to admit and fix your mistakes.

The Jouney Book Post

My book is called "One Fat Summer"
The jouney in this book it how this really "chubby" boy named bobby has to spend his summer vacation at Rumson Lake. He changes as the summer goes by. When he get's a job to mow a lawn, a street bully comes along and tries to take his job back. As he fights through his summer, he begins to realize that he needs to change to put up with Willie, the bully. As he goes on with his job, he builds muscle and he starts feeling more confident about himself. With his best friend, Joanie, by his side, he starts to find his true self. When he does, he actually fights back against Willie. Until the part I have read uptil, he has made an amazing improvement in having self asteem, and getting less teased about his weight.
