Kite Runner 1

So this first part of Kite Runner just keeps getting more exciting every time I read more of it. It starts almost mischevious, and the issues keep escalating. The Novel is written by Khlaed Hosseini  in which it is told by the life of a young Afghan boy from the mid-1970's.  In Amir's lifetime  he is morally tested in his relationship with Hassan.  This gets even more tense when Hassan gets raped by Assef, a boy in Amir’s neighborhood influenced by Hitler and has ALOT of mental issues. Amir uses his higher position to abuse Hassan not fully understanding the effect. This story in the first part displays friendship, loyalty, betrayal and on going suffering.  Amir has to deal with a truamatizing past  and how that past  shaped who he became. His growing sepreation from Hassan later in the story of his life and their friendship tears a huge hole in his family. At times, his father Baba got highly annoying and this is kind of what lead to Amir's down and sad thoughts. To be honest he never seemed to fit and Hassan was like his brother even if he was a family servant. The guilt for that betrayal, as well as Amir's troubled relationship with his father Baba, will torment his life for the next 20 years. Hassan becomes extremely remote, and his household duties become quiet and avoid Amir entirely.Both these boys are frequently harassed but later Hassan and his father leave because they find about Hassan being raped.  Baba is torn apart by this. This being chapter of Amir’s life may seem very depressing and crazy. But wait till you hear what happens next. Events in this book will haunt you. Which you will never ever forget.Kite Runner details the corupt political developments in Afghanistan. But it's barely even started yet..

False Relationships

            Have you ever had someone cheat on you? Or say they love you and that you mean everything to them, but then they cheat on you? Well thats so messed up and yes it's happened to me.  That's exactly why I brought it up. Its horrible and I was mad about it. I don't even know why people cheat! I did everything I could and this is how they treat me. It's a huge gap in you life when this happens. You feel unwanted, and you almost rust, and feel broken. Emotionally cheating hurts a lot.  As one statistic proof shows and says :

"The reason most people find intimacy with someone outside of their marriage is because their emotional needs are not being met. In many cases of infidelity it is about wanting to feel emotionally connected to someone." 
Emotionally, it is possible to have feelings for more than one person at a time, and sometimes it's  too many people. Relationships are built on love, and sometimes two people forget to communicate causing unhappiness. And lack of communication. Many people have affairs because they want the thrill of being with someone new. The urge to be with other people excite them  thus they forget about their mate.  About this whole cheating thing, some people don't know how to handle it. To be honest, don't threaten them or taunt them. You may feel the urge to do this, but it won't do you any good. In fact be mature. Just say that I broke up, and you can't come back because I've lost my trust with you. 


    A cheater is dependent because they are not strong enough to break up with their significant other in order to get with the new person. A cheater may lose respect for you and might continue to cheat on you.  They also might be doing it because they sense you are cheating too. Well their returning the favor for you even if you may not appreciate it, that exactly how they feel. All together nobody likes cheating. But be open to explaining how you feel in a relationship.

Response to God. Well not literally.

Well.. DAMN ROKHSOR! HAHA. I have to agree you are by far the most religious person I know. In a good way. I just want to say that you have a very strong support on your own religion. But just to say, I personally don't have a religion at all. Because for me, I think believe that a God people create is a separate beliefs ready to destroy. Religion in the United States is a touchy topic and people get uncomfortable when their religion is picked on. I understand. If you come from a family with a tight based religion system and rules then you find the person most of the time very supportive of their beliefs. And when people are made fun of cause their God has a different name, or a different representation people shouldn't be be taunted over it. I can see by Rokhsor's way of saying how much she appreciates God is very strong. I wonder if a child raised in a religious household will  either stay religious or avoid religion at all costs. Same for me, I don't believe in anything thats a higher power because it only in my point of view, it restrains your mind. And for me, miracles do not exist and its just the fact sometimes work out, and some don't. The survey of Americans today shown here below show the differences in differences in beliefs:8do7inqh6AM6tHmpK0MI35WEN5NhcMfpUaKIsEXUff5NRWwBhJAZSxGE-UP6xdw2SHV5TxOaVza2hmkjD_XH2MY4z10Qyfaec2FeNb5_eVVbT6Rucw.png

You can see the amount of people who actually have a base of religion. I'm not sure what religion you fall in but I'm sure it's a major religion.


I personally think everyone has a right to believe in a religion, and a strong base for a good life, starts with or without religion. So it’s honestly your choice. And you show a very strong love and passion for your religion. I have never seen someone so religious before at your age. But it’s a good thing. Be proud of your higher being, and if you don’t have one, believe in yourself.
