I feel like Arjuna when I have to go to school or go to baseball practice. I know that I need to do these but I don’t always feel like doing them. I need to get a good education from school so I can end up better in life later on. I need to go to practice so I can maintain and improve my skills. Arjuna needed to kill an army of his loved ones. He didn’t want to but did because he needed to.
I can specifically apply the message of the Bhagadvad Gita because it is my Dharma, my duty, to do these things. If I don’t go to the school and practice baseball because of my Dharma. If I don’t obey my Dharma then I will not have a good life.
Back in ancient India, they didn’t have the technology like we have now. They relied on hard labor more than we do today. They had to till fields manually while we have machines that we drive to till for us. Their Dharma usually was much tougher than ours is. Our Dharma is usually go to school or work and did good in these. Their Dharma was to go tend to the fields and animals.
The Bhagavad Gita could be used a tool of oppression because people could use the belief of Dharma against each other. They could have said that one person didn’t live up to their Dharma and would be reborn dishonorably in their next life. They also could have used it against others that don’t believe in the Bhagavad Gita. They could have prejudice against those that didn’t believe or live up to Dharma.

I was not at school the day that we did the walk so I just walked around my house and took pictures of things. The most powerful sensation for me was the soothing chirps of the crickets and the cool autumn breeze. I felt very comfortable and relaxed as I walked. I heard the soothing sounds of animals and the rustle of leaves. I was thinking about how calm and serene nature is. It is possible that I was on the path behind the school before. Last year, my class went down to the creek for biology but I don’t know if that was the same path. This is like Taoism because you felt like you were one with nature on the walk.

Before Feng Shui
After Feng Shui
Before I could hardly get to my dresser or anything on the left side of the room because it was so cluttered at the end of the bed. I removed all of those things and now I and the Chi can flow freely throughout the room. I also moved the fan back a little. My room is more relaxed because the water element is flowing into the bed better than before. Fire is also moving better as it is not cluttered in the corner. The Bagua is mostly satisfied except for a few colors.

When I learn about history in 1181, I hope to learn about the ancient civilizations. I want to learn how the civilizations society worked and how their social classes were formed. I hope to learn about important people from that time. I also hope to learn of events that defined the time period.

I am 16 years old. I am an only child. I have a dog and a few fish. I love baseball. I play for the school and on a summer travel team. Some of my hobbies include fishing and hanging out with my friends. My favorite subject is science because I want to be a marine biologist.
