A Life Changing Experience

The most defining moment in my life was during the football season last year. After practice was over we were listening to our coaches talk when they brought up my name. The coaching staff had recognized how hard I was working and how I would be later rewarded. Before being recognized I didn't play that much so I just kept putting in as much effort as possible which led me a better person on and off the field. This has stuck with me ever since then and has taught me to never give up regardless of how tough life might be.

Socratic Seminar question

Last Wednesday during our final Socratic seminar for Out of The Silent Planet, someone asked if it is possible for a whole society to be purely good as a whole. The first question that comes to my mind is, isn't everyone's definition of good different? One person might think that raising money for charities is the right thing while another person can believe that robbing others is creating good in the world. It depends what mental state your in, how you were brought up, and what you believe in. There are no set of principles or rules that cam make or influence every single person in a society to act and think the same way.
