This I Believe- Freewrite

This I Believe...

I believe that all people are genuinely good and kind. I believe that every human is born with no bias or hatred for anything or anyone. I believe everyone wants to make the world a better place, the only thing I see wrong with the fact that everyone wants to make the world better is the fact that each individual person has a different idea of what a "better place" is. Not one person thinks the same way as another person, that is where the word "better" gets lost in translation. Some people would see a better place being where everyone gets along, another person might see a better place being where everything is free, and another person might see a better place being where they rule over others.

We can't simply just say we want the world to be a better place, because everyone wants it to be better, but each in our own way. Everyone is genuinely kind, but kind in their own definition of the word. God gave us each the ability to think for ourselves, and when he did that he knew that nothing could be the same, or equal.

Typology and Writing

I recently took a Typology test, while the majority of my results was accurate, I believe a few just aren't quite on the money. My results was introversion (shy) over extroversion. I definitely agree with this one, I am quite reserved and prefer to work alone. I honestly just believe life is much simpler and easier to understand when you are given the time to sit by yourself and truly take a look at the things around you without the distraction of others. I think this relates to the way I write because it is very hard for me to incorporate a lot of detail into my writing because I am a very reserved person and enjoy keeping all of my thoughts my thoughts. I hope this course will assist me in stepping out of my comfort zone and be able to write freely and honestly.

My second group of results was sensing over intuition. The way I understand these results is that I focus more on what it happening at this exact moment rather than focusing on what is going to happen in the future. To me, this is both true and false. I do focus a lot on what is happening in the here and now, because I believe it is very important to have an understanding of what is happening around you, but having a child you can't help but also focus a lot on the future. This is helpful in my writing because I know I will be a more successful writer if I use facts and data rather than just hoping the information is correct.

My last two sets of results, I believe, are one in the same. I got feeling over thinking and perceiving over judging. I think these both sum up to mean I focus on my own feelings and the feelings of others rather than trying to be a problem solver, I believe having the ability to express feelings and ideas is much more important than over-thinking and trying to solve all the problems. This will be helpful in my writing because I will be able to add more feelings and emotional ties that leave the reader to decided what the correct solution to the given problems may be.
