I think in our world this could go both ways. If i saw a man walking down the street in a nice suit with a brief case i would assume he makes a good living. But you never know that if you see a normal looking man or a grungy looking man what kind of society he lives in. The grungy man could be a self-made billionaire but you would never know because you didn't give him the time of day. People need to go past the looks and watch personality.
�Money cant buy happiness.�
I think that money cannot buy happiness. Yes, i will agree that with money you can buy nice expensive toys, but it won't make you feel good about yourself. Just because you are a rich individual doesn't mean you are happy. You could be making more than Donald Trump but still hold a very stressful and horrible life. Money is seen in our world as a sense of extreme power, but i disagree 100% of the way.
�It is better to have second hand diamonds then none at all.�
I agree with this quote very much. I think i agree because it works with many other examples in our lives. Such as, its better to have a used run down car, then have no car at all. You could ask some people at our school and they would agree a car is a car. But for the other majority all they think about are the riches in life, and they aren't thankful for what they have. I always think of it this way be thankful for what you are given because they're are people around the world that would do anything to be in your position.
�Where there is marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.�
Many people in this world marry because their parents chose their spouse. I think you will always see marriage where there is no love connection at all. And then you will come across the couple that is meant to be together forever. Marriage without love in my opinion is wrong and you shouldn't play with love like that. Playing with someones feelings is not a good toy.
�Love is an ideal thing, marriage is a real thing; a confusion of the real with the ideal never goes unpunished.�
I think this quote means love is the fake real, and marriage is the real deal. People get the two mixed up very often. They think that if there in love, marriage will be easy because they love eachother. But no, marriage is a large step in life where you commit you life and soul to another forever. That is nothing but real. When most people say they are in love they have no idea what the defintion of love even is.
�It is not possible to step twice into the same river.�
This is such a good quote and expresses the way of life so well. You can never step into the same river because it is always flowing at a rapid and steady speed. So every time you take a chance into it, its always a new and fresh beginning. In with the old and out with the new. Its always a new adventure every step of the way.
"Lies come in various degrees, some of which are ok.�
There are many varieties of lies that people make. Some are big and some are minesquele. Big lies to me get a person no where in life because they can't even say one thing true about themselves. It turns them into one big lie and they just get caught into themselves to much. But i think little lies are ok because they teach you to live dangerously. But also make you want to persevere to not have to lie about that thing again. Its like an on- going conscious lesson in your mind telling you to not do it again.
