Equality--
"Land of the free, and Home of the brave", right? Wrong. You can't even marry someone of the same sex in the United States. They wouldn't forbid people of the same color to marry, or people with different hair colors to marry, would they? Of course not, because love is not defined by color of skin or hair, and it shouldn't be defined by gender, either. It is out right homophobia why gays can not be leagly married. It's ridiculous. You are only allowed the basic human rights if you are a white, middle-aged, rich man. We are all the same on the inside, all made of the same flesh and blood. We all think, breathe, and feel. We should all be treated as equals. Of course, we are not all exactly the same. But that is the beauty, the beauty to think different thoughts, and see the world through different eyes. The first lesson that should be taught in life, is to walk a mile in everyone elses shoes.

Intelligence--
Ahh, intelligence. What is this funny thing? Is someone intelligent if they can recieve straight "A"s all through school? Or if they use extra big, hard to pronounce words? Or that kid that can calculate the Geometry equation without a calculator? No, I believe it to be none of those things. Intelligence is how well you understand yourself and the world around you, and how well you interact the two.

Life(and the meaning of)--
Life. I believe we are put on the planet to teach and to strive to make it a better place for future generations. Their are so many beautiful things the planet, and life itself, has given us. Untill we learn to co-exsist, and feed off of each other, we can never trully grow. Their are so many things that need help--the environment and the people. The point of life is to find happiness in everything you do, and everything around you.
