Manifesto

Manifesto- A public declaration of principles, policies, or intentions, especially of a political nature.
Manifesto can be measured in an ineitable amount of ways, depending on the person. Many people can believe in many different types of principles, and intentions. Many people, including me has a manifesto built upon religion. However everybody does not believe in the trinity. So therefore I have decided to write my essay on three different types of manifestos that I personally believe in. I believe that fellow man should be treated with respect. Very similar to the old proverb. “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Evil strikes back (karma), and finally how a name is everything.
People demand and deserve respect, for the most part. Nobody should be treated unkindly, and no one should be cruel. If everybody understood that basic concept then we wouldn’t have jails, insane asylmns, or the death penality. Some people say that respect is gained. I too am one of those people who feel that respect should be earned. It’s sad to say that the world would be a great place if people were not here to destroy it. It seems like nobody respects anything today. Every time I turn on the news someone get killed or kidnapped or something else that is barbaric. The world just doesn’t have too much room for respect, and that does something to me personally. Parents don’t even respect their kids today. Abortion and adoption are both at an all time high, and it seems like nobody even cares. Respect is a small word with a huge meaning. People don’t even respect themselves today. Teenage suicide is also at an all time high, simply because people can not love themselves enough to save themselves.
I too believe that Evil has it’s own way in striking back. Or in simpler terms “Karma”. Whenever evil deeds are performed I strongly believe that evil deeds are returned. Nobody has license to hurt or confuse other people just for the sake of doing it. People kill and steal everyday just to say that they did, or just to prove to themselves how manly or womanly they are. The funny thing is, people do obscene things everyday and think that nobody sees what they do. It doesn’t matter if you go 30,000,000 miles away from where you are, to do only god knows what. Whatever you do stays with you, and it tears up your morals. That is if you even have any. Believe it or not there are some people who could go out here, rape and kill a three year old little girl or boy and not think anything of it. However everybody always has something coming to them.
Finally I believe that a name is everything. No matter how much money you posses, or what you look like. People will talk about you until the day you die. However you should not give them a reason to even do so, unless they are heartless. Take for instance myself. I am pretty much a hermit-nerd who believes that I should always have my priorities in order such as: religion, family, school, and friends. (Not in order). Anything other than those things are not too important to me, because I know that they will always be there and they will never go away, but for someone to call me a whore or a hoe would be a complete and total lie because I am one to not one to be big on sex or sexual activity. Truth be told I am still a virgin and that is something that I value everyday when I wake up and even when I go to bed at night. Many people think that I am obnoxious, rude, crazy and a down-right bitch. However the people that say those things have never sat down and had an educated conversation with me. They just assume or was fed some bad information. Many people think that I am hilarious, smart, beautiful, and humble, and those people have sat down with me and have had an educated conversation with me.
In conclusion my manifesto is very diverse, and I couldn’t just be based on one thing, due to the fact that I believe in many different things that revolve around my world, so in a way all of these interesting beliefs make up my manifesto. I live by these principles everyday, in order to make me a better person.
