Story World

Nachiketa goes to Yama's abode when his father tells him that to death he will give him to. Nachiketa stays there for 3 days until Yama returns. Since Nachiketa was there without being treated for, Yama offers him 3 boons for the 3 nights. Nachiketa asks for his father's anger to be appeased as his first boon. His third boon is for Yama to teach him the fire sacrifice that leads to heaven. Yama grants him his wish and even names it after him. Nachiketa's third boon is to know what happens after death. Yama offers Nachiketa anything else, but he declines because he knows that none of that will last forever and that nothing has the equal value of knowing what happens after death.

I always thought about changing my morning schedule, but I never did until one day when I was writing in my journal during second period. We create these habits that aren’t that easy to get rid of. So little by little I would be changing the time that I would wake up and then I also changed my morning routine to the point where I would now shower in the mornings. Starting to shower in the mornings was a good idea because it has me awake. It would have me as awake as a person who for the first time would have Dr. Preston drop a textbook just to prove a point. Coming into Dr.Preston’s class each day is not the same as coming into any other English class. Each day we get a minute of mindfulness and that isn’t given to us each day by any oth...

The Right to Your Opinion

I’ve heard many people say that we have the right to our opinion, but I feel like most of the time we really don’t. Sometimes we share our opinions and they are ignored, people get offended or our opinions just don’t help us in any sort of way. Our opinions might have so much meaning to us, but it doesn’t always mean that they are to everyone else. Our opinions might seem to be right or relevant, but they aren’t always.
