    I believe that if you have to be on hold for 9 hours, you should get to choose what music you get to listen to.

    I believe that, if I lived in LA, Cee-Lo Green might be dead by now because, honestly, you don't eliminate Tony Vincent, then turn right around and kick off James Massone without making my s*** list.

    I believe that my best friend should stop listening to so much music because he's getting to the point where he's answering my questions with song lyrics.

    I believe that things like Internet memes and fanfiction should stay out of the public eye most of the time because, hey media, screw off.

    I believe that only good fanfiction should ever be published.

    I believe that some people are beyond repair, and really truly believe in their minds that being prejudiced and horrible to people who are different is the right thing to do. But I also believe that the majority of people who do this kind of stuff are just ignoring the fact that it’s wrong. ‘Don’t cyberbully’ is what we’re told constantly throughout our lives, and for those people who do cyberbully, they’re just brushing it off like it’s fine. We all get told not to talk to strangers, but I’m sure nearly everyone has broken that rule at one point or another, even just to give directions. We feel a bit guilty afterwards but it doesn’t matter when we realise that we’re fine, we haven’t been kidnapped. I believe cyberbullies are just brushing it off in the same way. ‘Oh well, they didn’t kill themselves, so it’s not that much harm. It’s just what I believe.’

    I also believe, due to the previous belief, that at some point in your day you should tell someone, whether they’re being bullied, abused, or just seem a little sad lately, that you think they’re amazing and beautiful. I do this on Tumblr in the form of anonymous messages, just because for every few bad people in the world we have to have a good person. What’s stopping all of you from being that good person? I like to think that one day, when a person who I regularly give love to because they’re always getting hate messages is ready to kill themselves, I’ll come off anon and tell them exactly the right things. I’ll be able to tell them why they’re not useless. Because then I might just be able to say I saved someone’s life.

    And saving someone’s life is much better than watching them sadly as they post the message saying they’ve given up.

    I believe in letting people do there own thig. Don't confront when it's not necessary. Don't cause problems where there are none. And I'd that doesn't work, absolutely destroy them and their argument against you. Mr. Green

    I support ethical egoism. Basically it is a form of consequentialism that says do whatever makes you the most happy over the longest amount of time regardless of what other people think. It's different from hedonism which is what it comes across as at first. Rational thinking is it's main pillar.

    That even in its most idealistic state, a Utopian society is not meant to exist without inherent evil.

    The philosophies I live by:
    "Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards."
    "People demand freedom of speech as compensation for freedom of thought, which they seldom use."-Soren Kierkegaard
    I also firmly believe that if we'd all keep an open mind and learn continually, the world would be a much better place.

    I believe that technically the glass is always full.

    I believe that those who are close minded cant see the beauty and devestation of the world nor can they be open to any and all ideas/opinions

    I believe that my motto "Breathe, Focus, React" will get me through all the hard times

    I also believe that life is what you make it and that everyone is beautiful

    I believe in icons. I refuse to believe in our leaders anymore. They have failed to solve any problems and are in no hurry to. Pretty much my views can be summed up in this.

    “We've come to accept that most of our politicians will be exposed, in te end, as sex-mad liars or imbeciles, just as we've come to expect gorgeous supermodels to be bulimic, neurotic wretches. We've seen through the illusions which once sustained our fantasies and know from bitter experience that beloved comedians will stand unmasked, sooner or later, as alcoholic perverts or suicidal depressives. We tell our children they’re trapped like rats on a doomed, bankrupt, gangster-haunted planet with dwindling resources, with nothing to look forward to but rising sea levels and imminent mass extinctions, then raise a disapproving eyebrow when, in response, they dress in black, cut themselves with razors, starve themselves, gorge themselves, or kill one another.”

    I believe that the grass is only greener on the other side because someone has a great sprinkler over there. You can't look at things that you don't have and be jealous or wish for better and hate those who have worked for better. Achieve greatness yourself, and you'll have that damn sprinkler and then your grass will be green as baby shit.

    Stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience prove you wrong.

    I believe in love. Everyone just love each other, why do we need to fight? I don't care if your political/religious beliefs are different from mine, you are human just like me and I love you just because of that fact. People need to hate a little less, and love a little more. This world would be such a better place if we could all put our differences aside and just love, love, love, love. In Love Arms

    Lol a lack if freedom of though does exist and is very over compensated with too much talking. Thinking is very very important.

    I believe in myself, and I wish everyone could believe in themselves as well.....I wish we all could love and treat ourselves better. We have to learn to take care of ourselves before we take care of others, otherwise for example: if we all hate ourselves, then we go and try to love others, it's going to be pretty hard.
    Oh and I believe in love at first sight <3
