Live Life Or Lack There Of

On the topic of my internet life, I'd say its pretty much nonexistent.  The extent of it is my e-mail and this blog.  I don't have Facebook, Twitter, or anything else.  Personally, i rather dislike the fact that people i don't even know can just go on the internet and see what i'm doing, who my friends are, etc.

Thats probably one of the main reasons i don't care for any of those sites.  I feel that its rather creepy to have people you don't know comment on posts you make.  I also believe its ethically wrong because everybody can know what you're doing and you can't do much about it.  Thats why i refuse to be a part of any of these social networking sites.

Another reason i dislike these sites is that people post every little detail, and honestly, does anyone even care?  Theres also the fact that people focus so much on the internet that they don't have a life outside of it.  I'd have to say that in comparison to the actual world, the internets rather dull.

Epic Hero: Beowulf

I believe a hero is someone who is brave, does whats right, and has a strong moral code.  Once they have set out to complete a mission, they don't waver in the face of danger and aren't cowed by opposition.  Back in ancient times, whether Norse, Greek, or Roman, a hero would most certainly have been a warrior and that idea still holds true today.  You don't have to be a warrior to be a hero, though.

An example of a hero would be Martin Luther King Jr., or various other political figures who advocate for peoples political and civil rights.  This shows a major change in the viewpoint of what it is to be a hero.  Basically, despite what everyone thinks, a hero is simply someone who stands up for what's right, no matter what.
