Curiosity

The African and the Greek myth, Orphan Boy and Pandora are warning us that curiosity can lead to change, often negative. In Pandora, Zeus handed her a box and didn't notify her what was inside, and she was very curious to look inside, so eventually she opened the box and then monsters sprang out and went into the world and then misfortune hunger and poverty came into our world. For Orpahan Boy there was young boy who came to a old man and had magical powers and young trusted the old man not to follow him but one day he did out of curiosity and the boy saw him and left then the old man died. So as said from the proof that curiosity can lead to change and that can be bad.Pandora - painting by John William Waterhouse (1895)Orphan boy picture by Paul Morin Pandora picture https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8z1IHLGejwet2RkK8k5SXySti6tDRwDkmfGHAP0U6471zZJa24PnLhhOJsloGcVL_m3qU-yGnCEzRJIcWU9xmehGjRBBPVxGd9Ib4elrmQSgUgRjDIroWGdSKI4_ZTxEIjcEclO1qHjY/s400/pandora.jpg

My Name

Names are a mysterious things, they all have a unique story behind them. Mark is the name my parents gave me. Honestly I thought my name was kind of boring because it was just 1 syllable and there was no nickname to it. But after some time I noticed that Mark wasnt just Mark. Then I saw that there was a famous CIO called Mark Wrostner. There was also a an old king named King Mark he was king before the time of Arthur. Then there was a famous swimmer called Mark Spitz. The name mark was my name and many men had it, I was facinated by what came out. Also I don't see how someone can make fun of Mark, it's so short that it impossible to make fun of. But name still remain's as me not as any of the famous people named like me. When I think about the name Mark it reminds me off all the other people but then I think as Mark as me,I think that though I am not famous or great or special, inside the name mark there will be me and inside I am great to. http://www.facebook.com/profile/pic.php I am great to.pic.php.jpg

Creation myth

Many cultures have creation myth's which are unique to their identity because most of them explain what happened? on earth for instance like how human's came to being or how we got feeling's or nature. Many different cultures seek those explanation. I think that a amazing because cultures didn't even know that other culture's existed. One myth called Phan Ku a chinese myth is a myth that explains how the world was created. One day a man burst out of a cosmic egg, his name was Phan Ku, it was said that he grew 10 feet a day and had hair all over him and he lived for 8000 years. Now the myth continues on by when Phan Ku carved out the world. Then he started decorating he filled in the space between sky and added clouds. The came the river and lakes and ocean's he created them all from his blood, earth from all his skin then from his bones he created all the rocks, after that he made all plant and life form his hair, then the rain came from his sweat, lightning and thunder from his voice. But then he died and he sacrificed himself to complete the world becuase when he died thats how feeling came to human beings because they suffer under Phan Ku's death. This myth explains all 3 main things that cultures seek. I find this magnificent because they are trying to tell us the same thing.Happening

The Journey begins

The quote I chose above me is a saying about a journey, I believe journeys can be told in many different ways. I you can see my picture is a painting of sunrise. You must be thinking whats sunrise gotta do with journey. Well let me tell you something every journey begins somewhere, and I believe when someone see's a sunrise it is like a new beginning, the sunrise is so beutiful that when you see sunrise you think " yeah now "I'm gonna get out there" " I gotta do this". The sunrise gives you hope and confidence in your new journey because I believe that everyday is hard working journey.
