There’s something.
Maybe it’s just a quirk? Or a habit? But either way, without it, you’re not quite sure if you’d even be you.
My grandmother always told me I was just a really sensitive kid. The little things stuck too much in my mind. The little mistakes I’d make would linger so long, they’d never happen again. Disappointment almost physically hurt me. It had a certain look when they stared down at you. One that’d make my eyes water and my throat close up. I’d start to suffocate. I’d messed up.
Good thing for me, observation can almost equal experience.
Fremdscham is a German word for shame felt for the actions of someone else. You may know it as, secondhand embarrassment.
The other kids made mistakes so I didn’t have to.
I’d never

Rather, it still does. Ignorance was all I could think to describe it as at the time, but as I get older I can see, maybe it’s not that simple. For one, we all do things with somewhat of a “why”. Without that “why”, it’s generally pointless.
Ask a hundred people why they would want to go to the moon and I doubt they could give lengthy answer. Why don’t you try asking an astronaut instead? And there it is! An astronaut could probably give you a why. A “why” driven by emotion and interest.
So what is the difference between the astronaut and the hundred other people?
So it’s not ignorance. We’re born with a why more or less. Things drive us and compel us. We set goals to make ourselves happy. It may be settling down in a cabin home with a spouse and kids. For another it may be going to the park with their dog until the day they die.
I, on the other hand, have no idea what I want. I see nothing as impossible for myself. This makes me want to be everything. Experience everything. I know, impossible.
So my “why” would have to be myself. To impress. See what beautiful things I can make myself. Try until the day I can declare my “work” satisfactory. It’s ingrained in me. It’s who I am.
I have a
I have one want which I have never yet been able to satisfy, and the absence of the object of
My first reason is that how John Fitzgerald Kennedy had a dream and how he accomplished it. JFK’s dream was to send people to the moon he gave the scientists,the people that were building the spacecraft one decade that is 10 years. It launched on July 16,1969
“We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too” (Kennedy 4). John F. Kennedy gave his “We go to the moon” speech on September 12, 1962 to a supportive crowd at Rice Stadium. This speech was given partly as a result of the cold war. Other nations had been making major technological advances and this caused fear in the United States government. In John F. Kennedy’s speech at Rice Stadium, President Kennedy used ethos, pathos, and logos, to convince the American population of the importance of not only participating in the space race, but to also become the highest power in it.
The essence of the "why" in society can be seen through many cultures and time periods. From many of people in westernized grade school, children are taught the 5 "W's:" who, what, why, where, and when. Starting in basic education, people are taught and encouraged to be inquisitive creatures. Not that they need to be. Even from prehistoric times, there have been many instances of Pagan cultures, and gods being created to explain certain natural events, such as rain gods, or a god's wrath may explain a volcano eruption. For, when a child is writing about a ladybug, they will want to know why the bug is there. When humans question their own existence, they want to know why they themselves are there. In any instance, a human will always ask the question "Why?" Furthermore, with any instance, a human will always find an answer to their why.
The symbol of the scaffold evolves in The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. In Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel The Scarlet letter is build around the symbolic scaffold. The main characters transform the scaffold from the exposition to resolution. Next the traits of the scaffold itself deteriorate throughout the novel. Finally, the scaffold is applied symbolically throughout Hawthorne’s novel.
“The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allan Poe is an ominous tale, told in retrospect, of a man who visited an old friend, Roderick Usher, who was dying of a mental illness. This visit was quite different then how the narrator believed it would be. The narrator explained the “insufferable gloom” he felt when he saw the mansion, and this dreary feeling only grew stronger the longer he stayed (Poe 1265). The narrator endured the bleak time with his old friend whose condition only worsened. Roderick’s sister was ill as well and eventually died. They buried her in the basement only to have her crawl out alive days later. This shock scared Roderick to death while the sister’s illness finally took her life. The narrator ran out of the mansion completely unnerved as the House of Usher crumbled to the ground.
The question why is stated and presented in the many ways that we approach life. Albert Wolters has given an explanation that whatever way we go or see in the world there is an explanation of why we are able to go or choose that route. Through the book Creation Regained and the lecturer that was given by Mark Charles both collaborate and give an insight of what direction we have took based on the decision that our forefathers have chosen for our nation. The direction and the structure that we want is embellished into the idea that we can only become a better person by correcting the mistakes that were made in the past.
It had been a few months since the monsters were free from the underground, and humans started to expect them of course there were the racist people who didn’t like them, I didn’t understand that, monsters were so cool and so nice once you got to know them. Since I was the ambassador to the monsters I had to go to a lot of meetings with important people. Luckily Toriel, Assgore, Papyrus, Sans, Undyne and Alphys were with me and would talk for me since I wasn’t much of a talker. I used sign language instead and everyone would speak for me that way I was glad. Since I hadn’t talked for a long time now and maybe never would. I did speak a few words sometimes, but it usually was with mom and Sans that I would talk to, I trusted them, not that I didn’t trust the others it just that I felt really close to them. Anyway, after going through countless boarding meetings, the leaders of the world and the monsters found a way to live together in harmony. Sans thought things would be worse than they were believing that a war could break out when the monsters return. He was happy to be wrong as was everyone else.
In Destination Moon the government is clearly against the Jim and Dr. Charles’ mission to go to the moon. This creates a sense of paranoia, the need for secrecy, rushed work, and the need to seek private funding.
We all have things that makes us ourselves and something worth living for. If we find something we have a purpose to live for but, we don’t know how to obtain it, due to lack of work-ethic, this can lead to serious darkness. Creating a frustrated life that could lead to depression and beyond. I myself know that I was made to make people feel good about themselves and find a purpose to continue pushing on through all the hard times they go through. I know that I was meant to help others achieve their goals and this is what makes me get up and continue pursuing my dreams. If my parents were to give me everything I wanted in life, I for one, probably wouldn’t give a damn about others and two, wouldn’t know how to pursue and work for my own dreams, let alone help others achieve their
First Fragilepast had been injured and now there was a death, a child's death. Padding up with the mother Kate opened her mouth to say something before realizing how dry it was. She wished she could bring others back to death but she just wasn’t that magical. Even if she could she would probably question the whole should something dead stay dead. “I’m sorry for your lost.” she mumbled, her yellow eyes unable to look at the dead kid. Looking at the dead creature who brought the kids life to an end, she continued to find herself lost for words.
It’s human nature to wonder why we act the way that we do and why things
During medieval times, when The Canterbury Tales were written by Geoffrey Chaucer, England was coping with huge social and political reformations. Long-held traditions including those to strictures imposed by the church began altering in response to the determination of the common people to have a voice, and also of the people of the court to express themselves freely. Consequently, a society that has kept people in line by fear of the church began to fall apart, resulting in the emergence of the middle class. The middle class was made up of the people from both upper and lower social classes who dared to question tradition and the validity of religion in their lives since it enforced unattainable and unrealistic ideals. The character of the
Previous to space colonization and tourism, one must explore the given planet; understanding the problems and providing solutions to protect and aid the coming population. During the Cold War of 1947 through 1991, the United States and Russia fought for the accomplishment of space travel; the moon was the primary target due to humans general understanding as well as the relative closeness to the earth. Besides the sun, the moon was the utmost visible object in the sky. July 20, 1967, The U.S. put the first man on the moon, “One small step for man one giant leap for mankind.” During December, 1972, Apollo 17 commander Gene Cernan set foot on the moon and is the last known man to do so. Forty four years later, humans debate over whether or not man should set foot on the moon. Today, the main question is, why humans should set foot on the moon? The company Space Exploration will allow the furthering of scientific knowledge, improved energy crisis, international cooperation, excavation of resources, bodily preparation for gravitational disadvantages, exploration preparation, and surface liftoff medium. With the moon being three days away (with current technologies), humans can improve overall understanding and life circumstances in relation to lunar exploration.
