In a world where everyone loved each other as much as themselves it would

be good and bad. On the good side the people who love themselves would be

loving others it would be a good world where everyone would respect you and

also be nice and help others. On the bad side some people are not happy with

themselves and would not be very kind. Therefore the world would have its ups

and downs, but it would mostly be happy and fun.

What would happen if everyone loved other people as much
as they love themselves, and how would families and communities
be changed?

This question is one that many people would answer differently. Lots of people in this modern time don’t love themselves as much as needed. Many people feel that
they aren’t good enough because of  social media influencers and all the
companies telling you that, “You aren’t good enough, come by our product
to make you more beautiful!” I think that the world would be a miserable place
if people loved everyone else as much as they love themselves.

Families and communities would definitely be changed if this were to happen.
Our families would most likely drift apart because of fighting and hatred. We
wouldn’t get along, and we wouldn’t want to be with each other. Communities
would also not be the same because everyone would dislike seeing each other and
being together.

Love Letter (Fictional) From Rangers Apprentice: Will to Alyss

Dear Alyss,

Ever since the war has been going on, I haven’t seen you in what seems forever. The truth is that I truly
do miss you. Even though it has been a while since that beautiful night when we first kissed, I can still
feel how gentle and soft your lips were. As hard as it is for a Ranger to admit something like this, I
truly believe that I am in love with you. You are always so kind and so amazingly beautiful. We have
practically grown up together and I have always had a special bond with you. You have grown up so
much and have gone so far, you are definitely the cutest and smartest girl I have ever met. Right now
the thing that is driving me to wake up and fight in the war is you. I cant wait till I will be home and I can
finally see you again. Your so amazing and I love you with all my heart.

Love,

Will Treaty

If Everyone Loved Each Other as Much as They Love Themselves

    At first, I thought that this thing was supposed to be about, ¨If People Loved Each Other as Much As I Love Myself¨, and I had a much more entertaining view on the matter. Although, if people loved each other as much as people seem to love themselves, there would be a lot more kindness than there is in the world. People generally love themselves (I'm not talking to the emo's) which is a good thing to a degree, as long as it doesn't get in the way of helping others (I could've put that as my resolution). Of course society as a whole would be greatly improved if people loved each other THAT much.
    I wonder if it's better that some people don't like each other as much sometimes. Think about it, if everyone is equally nice then there isn't room for extra kindness that bonds people. Plus, you can learn things from people who are not very nice. Let's take for (theoretical) example, a very sad, very pathetic person, who holds onto year-old grudges, ignores people, and doesn't accept apologies. You can learn much from this kind of a person. You can learn how NOT to treat people. Plus, think of any interesting story, does it go ¨Nothing bad ever happened to the main character because everyone loved him/her¨ That would be almost as bad as any Rick Riordan book. So, I think that its good that people don't love each other as much as they love themselves, it would be cool if it was possible, but it wouldn't be as interesting.

         In  a world where other people loved others as much as themselves would be so cool. I feel like everyone would get along and everyone would be nice and caring for each other. I bet they would throw a big party for each holiday and just have fun. The community there would all get a long and have empathy for others. Everyday each person in the town/village would give a small gift to someone. That way everyone gives and receives. People will be happier and make other people feel happy. This village is kind of like Trolls the movie where they sing, dance, and party all the time, and no one is down. This village would be awesome!

There are probably many things I need to improve on, but I will only name a few. One of my resolutions is to not procrastinate, this will help my grades and make me a better student. Another thing I can do is study for tests so that there is a good chance I will get a good score. Another thing I need to improve on is spending more time at home doing home work, this will teach me to be more organized. The last resolution is to pay more attention in class, sometimes I will lose focus. If I do these things it will improve my grades and it will make me a better student.
