The Cure of Pain

     "The world will know no peace without pain."- Pain from Naruto Shippuden.
     Even though he's very evil and a dangerous person, I think that he's right. Like in many fairy tales and stories, there is always a conflict. To resolve a conflict, someone goes out on a quest and when they resolve the conflict, there is usually THE END in big letters. Where did this come from and how did this come to be the end? I think what really makes the conflict so important and meaningful is the pain behind it. Conflicts bring about cooperation, togetherness, and a need to solve it. Pain brings about peace between people.
     Sometimes you need to undergo a form of pain, so later on it will bring about peace. Awhile ago, my grandmother passed away, and even though it was very painful to take in, it caused my family to come together from across the world. The tears brought laughter and the sorrow brought celebration. I know for many people, it is one of the hardest things to deal with, but sometimes pain could be the start of something new and graceful. In naruto, even terrible things seem to keep on happening to naruto and his friends, like Sasuke leaving and joining Orochimaru and Jirachi dying, it was bound to happen and although it was tough to deal with, you never know. Naruto might not have been as strong as he is now amd not ne able to save all the his friends form all the evil and danger. Pain is like saying "see you later," to  a friend because you may not be seeing them for awhile, you're going to see him tomorrow at school. In Naruto, a beast named Nine Tailed Fox, and was so strong, the only way to stop it was by sealing it into a baby which was naruto. Evertime naruto feels a great form of pain , a part of the fox's power takes over naruto. When the pain goes away, naruto goes back to regular. 
     Pain is like a cut. It may hurt when you get it and look bloody, but after awhile, your skin will form a scab, and soon enough, before you know it, the cut is healed. Pain is never a scar. Although we don't see it as something good, who knows? It might end up changing your life for the better. What I like to think of it is that today, its a painful discard, but tomorrow, its a great gift, so although you broke your DS, a DSI will be waiting under your christmas tree.

Care

     What does it mean to care something or someone? Would you do almost anything to make sure what you care about is safe? I the book that I'm finishing "Wizards First rule" by Terry Goodkind is packed with the meaning of care.
     Like in all the movies, shows, books we read, there are those moments of care. Whether the characters group hug, or fight off something much bigger than themselves, forms of showing care vary.Why do they do this? Is it to develop the characters and make the piece that much better or is it a deeper meaning for us? Richard Cypher, the main character of the book tries his hardest to keep Kahlan, a confessor, safe. He has been suffering and going through torture for her because he has been captured by a dangerous witch sent by Rahl, a evil wizard. Throughout the whole journey, Richard never seemed to leave Kahlan's side. I think books, movies, shows, whatever thing that has a message to it, when they show care, they want to teach the readers that not only sharing is caring. I never actually seen this care in real life, in the outside world. Sure my family gives love abd care to me and thats because they're my family. They are staying and living with me for a long period of time. What about friends or the people all around you on the streets. Do they care about you? In the book, Richard met Kahlan when she was walking and Richard saw that she was being stalked and helped her. Even though she was a stranger and by helping her, who knows what could have happened to him, he still helped her. I think its good to show care to anyone. You could open the door for them or tell them their shoes are untied and sometimes, even though its no where near what people in the imaginary and made up world do for each other, its still a sign of care because it shows that anyone and everyone should care for each other.
     To care for something or someone is show how passionate you are about it and that it has meaning to you. It is something you want to cherrish and maybe want to have it forever with you. Its to show a sign of kindness. Though in a lot of situations we are not able to show amazing care for something, but even those small things we do for each other show care and care is a much more developed and greater meaning than you think.

Encountering a Wizard

     The story I've been elaborating on is called "Encountering A Wizard" by Malik Padellan. Its about a knight who doesn't follow the orders to slaughter the wizard kingdom and decides to help one of them escape onto another land, free from the terrible acts of the king and his army. This story is not only very detailed and well developed, but there is a theme with it.
     What is racism? Racism is the thought of being superior than another because of their cultures, customs, and their way of life. The main character, Cypher Bloodstream, and everyone in his kingdom are known as Bloodstreams. Bloodstreams ablilities allow them to cure any physical or chemical disturbance to their body which basically means the only way they can die is by incapicitating their heads or by old age. All Bloodstreams are in perfect shape and never have a problem dealing with things like not having enough fiber. Valkar, the king of the kingdom of Bloodstreams for over 300 years, thinks of the Bloodstreams to be the most superior to all other kingdom people and calls the Bloodstreams angels. Since he thinks of them being angels, he wants everywhere to be populated with angels so the land could be a "holy land." Valkar sees everyone else as demons corrupting heaven. He doesn't like the wizard kingdom because he thinks that having original abilities is better than getting powers from someone in the family or by reading spell books. He doesn't like ogres not because they are evil and dangerous, because they are actually nice and friendly, but because they're green.
     The thing that supports racism the most is the thought that being different is bad. "Since you're not the same as me, you have a less valuable way of life and because of that, I'm the one in charge," is one of the things that many racist keep in their head. I think that racism occurs when someone thinks of themselves as being greater than someone and when someone is used to their own way of life and sees someone who does different things and has different interest or looks different. Racism is one of theconflicts in the world that will probably never be resolved because you can't force people to like and accept difference. Racism was probably meant to happen because a world would be either totally in order or totally corrupt if everyone was the same and I believe that being different is unique and being unique is beautiful.
