Politics and religion should not mix because the America that we all once knew is changing.

We have all different types of religions and poeple now  than ever.

So it is not very smart for a presidental canidate to try and gain votes by using their  religion.

If they want all of America to like them then I feel as though they should make their image more diverse than closeminded.

I truly believe that the Summum Bonum of live is happiness. Everyone wants to be happy. Being happy is not only defined as smiling, winning the lottery, or getting accepted into your dream school. Happiness can be defined in many different ways. For some people their happiness comes with others happiness. A good example of this is Will smith in the movie "seven pounds".

*Spoiler alert*

  In this movie he plays a very depressed man that has lost everything precious in his life becuase of a car accident that was his fault. He feels that they only way for him to be happy again is to help seven people make their lives better. He starts off small by donating a kidney and giving away his beach house. But he later commits suicied to give his vital organs to the last two people. One of the people is a woman who he recently fell in love with. He gives up his last chance at love, happiness and life so that others can have a chance at it.

 Happiness is something that we all chase, usually until the day we die. When you have a hard day and something makes you smile, you can't help but wanting to feel that way all the time, it is a high that you never want to come down from. This is why we search for something that will make us feel this way all the time.  

I have recently learned that the "Jesus daily" is the most popular page on

facebook.This completely took me by surprise, not because I do not think Jesus is

important (I do), But simply because I am an avid facebook user and I have never

heard of this page. The internet is taking the experience of religion to a whole

'nother level!  It is making gettig your "daily dose" of religion very conveniant for

people. instead of waking up early in the morning to attend a service, you can

sleep in and then get online and have your own service. The big question now is,

"will these socials medias replace places of worship?" In my opinion, no, I do  not

think this could happen. A church is about the community and sharing your love and

knowledge of something bigger than ourselves with others. I was once told that,

" the people make up a church, not the  buiding". Religon is more about your

interaction with people and God, not just reading a bible and listening to a sermon.

This song is spiritual in the way that it creates a small manual on a very imporant part of life, death.  I feel that being spiritual creates a path for you, it shows you a way. This song tells you what to do if someone dies at a young age. They are talking about what actions to take if they pass on to the otherside. Also it talks about what they are going to be doing on the otherside. It shows what they believe and how they saw the world.

 if I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand,
There's a boy here in town who says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by

The sharp knife of a short life, well,
I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
