Is Revenge Ever Justified?

Is revenge ever justified? In my opinion, no. I don't think revenge can ever be justified. I know sometimes you just can't accept what someone has done to hurt you and you just feel like you have to take revenge on that person. People may tell you, "just let karma do her work!", but you just can't wait anymore. What if that person escapes karma and is never punished for whatever terrible things he/she did to you? Well, that is very true and absolutely understandable. However, have you ever taken a minute and just think about when your revenge should stop? Is your revenge too extreme? Does that person really deserve it? What did that person do anyways? Are you sure it's only that person? Have you ever thought maybe that person teamed up with someone else who also deserves to be punished? The list could go on and on. My point is that revenge is a very complicated thing, and if you haven't really thought it over, don't do it. Just let karma do her work and don't waste your time on your enemy. After all you only have so much time left to live, why waste it on someone who you hate?

What Is A Risk Worth Taking?

Yes, sometimes, risks must be taken. Risks can be physical, emotional or even social. Risks are oftentimes taken to prove something to people, but it can also be taken to save something or be taken for the good of everyone else. However, some risks may be too big of a risk to even consider taking. I personally believe that most risks are worth taking. Yep, I'm a risk taker! I mean, you can only live once, right? So why not take the chance and actually live it instead of just doing what you're supposed to do all the time? However, taking a risk just to prove yourself to someone seems extremely illogical and useless to me, because you should live for yourself and not let others' opinions dictate your entire life. You don't need to prove anything to anyone, just prove them to yourself! Also, don't take the risks if it is highly likely to result in you being extremely injured or just simply dead. That would not be a happy ending for you, would it? Anyways, sometimes risks just has to be taken and when they accomplish what was intended, then good for you! Keep in mind, though, that taking risks may sometimes end up badly too. After all, real life is real life, hm? Not movies.

What Do You Look For In A Friend?

I think friends can be almost anyone. It can be someone who's very similar to you, who shares some common interest with you, or even someone who's the exact opposite of you. I believe the only quality a friend needs to have is the ability of giving you support when you need it and also to love you for who you are and understand you. A friend doesn't even need to be your age. Your mom can be a good friend too (when she's not busy yelling at you and stopping you from going to parties and spending time with friends)! Actually friends can be anyone at all, even enemies, because then you guys can be "friends" who look like they're good but stabs each other in the back.  I guess most of my friends are funny, because I really value the sense of humor, and they get what I'm saying. My friends, or at least my Real Friends, are the people I can act crazy and totally myself with. I don't really "look" for a friend, just become friends. It's like this little feeling you get when you see a true potential friend-to-be. It's kind of like that little feeling you get when you see your crush (and hopefully boyfriend-to-be too!), I suppose!
