Know What You Eat and You'll Understand!

**Bits of spoilers**

    I am reading the book "The Omnivores Dilemma" by Michael Pollan. In the book he undergoes a "quest" to find out what is our food mostly made out of. Almost every single food has corn, even in juice! Amazing isn't that!! Why is it that many people are so ignorant and don't even care about what is going on in our surroundings? I think that the author wants to make a difference in the world because many people are so ignorant and don't care.

    In the book, Pollan undergoes and mystery and finds out that everything that we eat has corn. From the meat to the candy! When he finds out he was so shocked how many things people use in their daily lives to go and the main thing is corn. We can't live without corn, it is just the truth. Corn hides in every single type of way, we just don't see it. If many people are so ignorant about what they eat then how can we deal with each other each day?

     The way I can connect this to the world is that we can eat all we want and trust what seems true, yet can we handle each other? I see in my everyday life how people treat one another. Many people don't realize that they behave or act a certain way because you don't know their story. Many people can be so ignorant that we just care what is on the outside, but not for their personality. Many people look repugnant on the outside, yet have a wonderful personality on the inside, or the other way around. we can only judge by who the personality of the person is.

“If one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool.”

Carl Gustav Jung

Understandment Leads to Peace

The Sleeping Gypsy

     In this picture there is a women sleeping on the ground and a lion getting close to here while she sleeps. The colors are dark yet light at the same time. The women is dark skinned and sleeping;the lion is awake and conscience of what is surrounding him.The sky of night is clear with just a couple of stars.When I see this picture I see how life can be is we were all friendly and no one fought with one another. I think that if everyone opened their mind to other options this world would be at peace.


     I think this because this women I feel that she let herself be who she is. If it was destiny to be eaten in a lion it would be, but she slept without a care in the world. The lion is roaming by without the fact that she is there. The lion passes attentive yet calm. Usually when a lion is aggressive, his his face is different, but here he seems calm yet "awake" at the same time. I also think this because the night is calm, there both mammals are there with no sign of worrying.


     I think that if we opened our heart and brain to the world, it would be a better world. i mean the person next to you might not be mean, but have a different personality than you. We can't always understand someone a hundred percent of the time because they go through different situations than us, but if we try they wouldn't be our enemies.So many people want power and popularity, but if we try to understand them they are usually insecure about who they are. If we all try to make all of theme feel equal then none of this would be happening.

$$$$- What Does it Mean to You? (World On Fire)

          As I reading the lyrics of "World On Fire" I thought it was about this song writer who was writing about a heartbreak that can also happen to many people in the world. I realized as I was watching the video that It was about how poverty is all around the world. Also we can make a difference in the world. If a singer could do it by giving up thousands of dollars on a single music videos; she gavr the miney to people who need it for food and shelter. I see many people on the street homeless and lonely. The main point is that we are what we have gave with a loving heart.
          In the video many people are scarcely making any money,but there are people in the world that spend money knowing that they are going to get in return double or triple what they gave; so it would be like to them throwing a penny. A line that relates back to this idea is A fortune of one that means less for some. This line relates back to this topic because many people are in need of money, mean while other people waste it around, by throwing it around in unecessary items. such as really fancy clothing that they don't need. Other people need the money for a good meal everyday and good clothing to survive for a good period of time.
         In my life I see many poor people walking around pulling carts of cans in order to gain a couple of dollars. Then I go and see TV, and see how the celebrities spend millions of dollars on one tiny house, that is probably a bit bigger than the own apartment I live in. Why couldn't they have bought houses or shelters for people n need of shelter. Many people need it more than I do.They shouldn't br so selfish; they also should look around them and see how many people live in very poor conditions.Many people waste money for pleasure when for some people it is a necessity.
