Seeing isn't believing, believing is seeing

I believe in things that would seem impossible to most. Anything that the imagination can conjure; that is what flows through my head. I watch movies of all kinds and my favorite have fantastical situations to which would not normally happen in the world. So you ask, does he believe in fairies? Trolls? Well, sadly in this day and age I hear they are impossible to find. For those who are believers of an entity that created everything like myself, I find anything would be possible. If one being can create the universe and everything in it, it's totally understandable for unicorns to exist. It would simply have to be the desire of the creator. To my disappointment, I'm afraid that wasn't part of the plan. Although magical creatures don't lurk in the shadows or roam the forest, there are plenty of wonders that catch my eye. Pyramids, rain forests, intelligence, photography. 

I believe in all things that makes a person feel like himself. I enforce the virtues of right and wrong; knowing the difference and practicing one while combating the other. Pursuing ones dreams, because they give you focus and purpose. If someone has a dream of becoming a serial killer, well I'd say they need to find some help because that is clearly wrong. If a boy wants to scale Mt. Kilimanjaro however, lets get him some training, lots of  veggies, and watch him ascend that mountain. I don't think that everything is as simple as black and white. Many things have a great void of gray to which people may have different opinions. Stealing for example is illegal and immoral. Yet I have friends that have vast amounts of copied DVD's and computer softwares that were not quite purchased with money. I don't consider them criminals, yet on all movies the FBI warning states they can go to prison and be subjected to pay fines of great amounts. A simple scenario of the miss-interpretation of laws and/or morals. So without a doubt I would take the red pill, and save the blue pill for a midnight snack.

Most of my beliefs are traditional, in the sense that my parents raised me, therefore they had a great deal of impact on my development. As people grow older they become more individual rather than copies of their parents, and that is when differences of opinion can occur. When dating someone, their beliefs tend to mesh into your life, vise versa, and your entire system is a now a collage more so than a distinct picture.

I know when I dated a girl in high school, we dated 3 years and saw one another on a daily basis for the majority of that time. Naturally I would start to pick up habits of hers, and she would begin behaving in manners that were alien to her years before. You begin sharing interests and developing entirely new ones. Finally when that relationship ended I found that my life would be very different. It was hard to picture anything because I didn't have a solid frame to look through. My behaviors would begin to change, interests would fall and become a faint memory, while new ones would develop once again. It was the same process as when the relationship began, except with different circumstances. That little drama changed me in a million different ways, yet in many ways I just reverted back to the person that I thought I remembered myself as. 

There is no clear view on the world from any one person that can be valid or invalid. Everything is taken through an individual perception which counters everyone else's. This can be noticed in Harpers book in many ways. Atticus believes in empathy and justice, not judging people and forgiving them for their ignorance. He is the central source of moral in the story and it radiates from him to his children. Most of the people in the town believe that the "negros" are inferior and of little use except for menial tasks. Atticus defends Tom regardless of the discrimination he might be subjected to and believes in his innocence, while the jury is racist and prejudice, believing the lies Mayella because of her skin color. The very dilemma of Tom being killed and injustice being served is thick in the writing. Evil vs good is a very prevalent theme in the story taking its form in various ways from Boo Radley, to Atticus himself. 

In Harper's Bildunsroman, Scout and Jem go from two innocent children, to two very different adolescents who have had a taste of the bitter reality that the world has to offer. They struggle to hold on to their ideas of good and its overpowering of evil when they see that their father's efforts were not applauded in the trial, but put aside and Tom Robinson was condemed anyway.
