I have come across many a person talking about themselves and one thing is for sure, I never was a big fan of boasting and therein lay my first quality that I want to talk about and that is my goodness. By 'goodness' here I mean the fact that you never want to hurt anyone, are always ready to help, always forgiving, never taking revenge or never even picking a fight with someone who wronged you. This quality comes in a package with many other various qualities especially patience. I believe that I have more patience than many people around me. And by this I do not relate to my response to someone purposely irritating me but to patience in my life. Always having the guts to wait and watch and act at the right time in order not to make any mistakes that could have been avoided. The quality of goodness is basically being 'Mr. Nice Guy'. I can write a whole book on how being a nice guy will make all the others happy around you while ruining your life (most of the time!).

These days every time someone invests time and love into a friendship, they end up hurt and used while the other person waltzes away to glory. For no fault of yours it’s sad really when the world could really do with a lot more goodness. I have found very few people in my life who have reciprocated my goodness and I have never been disloyal to them. I hope it stays that way. And then there are the big disappointments in life.

Moving on, I love my family, I want them to stay united; even if I have to lie I do so in order to keep everyone happy. I do believe in the saying - "Friends may come and go, but family stays forever," I don't really know who said it and if anyone hasn’t I shall record it. I always give money to the needy on the road, support every cause of charity and always put the wants of my fellow brothers and sisters before my needs. I treat elders with respect and I'm

    When friendships are dissolved, the consequences can be devastating. In Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics - VIII – IX he explains how humans learn from one another, and that humans are innately social animals (Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics - VIII – IX, 148-149). Friendships are required in life learn about values. Without friends, humans would not be able to learn such values from each other, nor will they be able to confide in each other. Having friends in life allow for the mutual growth of both parties. Rebecca Traister writes in her article “What Women Find in Friends That They May Not Get from Love” her experiences with her friend Sara. Traister says, “In each other, we found respite, recognition, a shared eagerness to relax, take stock and talk about it all.” (Sara Traister, “What Women Find in Friends That They May Not Get from Love, 1), going on to say this relationship was mutual where they benefited from each other’s company. As they both grew together over time, much like Aristotle suggests is the value of friendship. Humans life are not fulfilled unless friends are there to support each other. As Traister says, “For many women, friends are our primary partner through life” (Sara Traister, “What Women Find in Friends That They May Not Get from Love, 5). In Traister’s case, the friendship she shares with Sara is a friendship of virtue.…

    Although I am a little rough around the edges, I have a soft spot in my heart for those whom I love. My family keeps me going through the good, the bad, and the ugly. My parents are still happily married, even through twenty-two years of putting up with four children. My three sisters are amazing. Their names are Shannon, Ashley, and Lynnsy. I do, in fact, play favorites when it comes to siblings. Ashley is my favorite because she is always around helping me with whatever I need. I also am very close to my cousin, Matt Hare, and his family. I consider everyone an acquaintance because I do not like to get too close to people emotionally. If there was ever anything that any of my family needed, I would do everything I could to help them obtain it..…

    As life goes on we all have a change in friends. Over time people change and the people we used to be friends with may not be the same people we want in our lifes anymore. I'm sure we all can relate to having that one friend who we thought was friend that taught us a vauleable lesson or two. For me it was Corey Dancer, not only a boyfriend at the time but someone who I considered a best friend. The lessons Ive learned from the friendship with Corey was; to accept people for who they are or do not accept them at all and I learned the importance of self-worth.…
