Why it is important to forgive.?
“Always forgive your enemies nothing annoys them so much”by Oscar Wilde. The quote by Oscar Wilde means why should you allow your enemies to spoil your own peace of mind and inner joy?. By hating others, you do not change anything, but, you do make your own life miserable. I understand sometimes it is hard to forgive or ask for forgiveness.Some people think that it is much easier to forgive than to ask for forgiveness because if you ask for forgiveness you also have to admit you are wrong and people don't like to do that. But when someone does something to seriously offend you it is harder to give forgiveness, because you think that the person is wrong and he/she don't deserve your forgiveness.
All though i thing Forgiveness doesn't mean that you deny the other person's responsibility for hurting you, and it doesn't justify what they had done with you. Sometimes you can forgive the person without any explanation why they act like that with you. Forgiveness brings a kind of peace that helps you go on with life.I think it's really important that you tell the person that he or she offended you or treated you unfairly and it does not matter if he or she will never accept your forgiveness, what does matter is that you admit that you are wrong, and that you treated him/her unfairly.
Forgiveness is really for your benefit, not necessarily for the benefit of others. When we believe that someone has treated us unfairly, we have placed a judgment against that person, and we try not to talk with them or be Friends with them. And finally Forgiveness allows us to see the truth about ourselves, and to overlook the childish impression in which we appeared to be different, separate, from the Truth.

The Smallest Independent State
As of today the world population is estimated to be 7 billion. The world's most five popular countries are China, India, United States, Indonesia and Brazil. But do you know which state has the smallest population of 800?.
Vatican city is the smallest independent state in Rome. Vatican City is often referred as the Holy See. Vatican City was established in 1929 and it is ruled by the Pope. Even though the Vatican is the smallest independent state in the world it has it's own money, passport, newspapers, radio station and railroad system. Vatican City also has it's own flag and anthem like any other independent nation. But it does not have their own official language. Italian is their everyday language. Vatican is a beautiful place to visit. The popular places to visit are St. Peter's Basilica and the Sistine Chapel.Those two places have very rich history. St.Peter Basilica first opened in 326AD. The temple calls St. Peter because he was the founder of the Church in Rome.The Sistine Chapel was built in 1475 for Pope Sixtus IV. The Sistine Chapel is the Vatican's ultimate building and crowing Glory.
Even though the Vatican City has the most smallest population in the world but they still live like any independent nation.

Homework should be banned
Homework should be banned because we are at school all day and then we get home and do more school work. At times teachers tend to give a lot of homework which often overwhelms the student outside of school and leaves very little time for extracurricular activities, part time jobs, or time spent with family.In my opinion homework should be banned, because it has a little academic benefit at all,cause conflict between parents and children, and It keeps kids up at night stressing and sleep deprived.
According to CBS New York reports a New Jersey "Mother sent an email plea to fellow parents in Maple wood and South Orange, N.J., to join her in a crusade to get rid of homework.(Parent dish May 23,2011). Lots of the time teachers give out homework in every class not even caring about what the homework other teachers gave us.
This is one of the reasons why students don't do their homework and they will fail the class because homework is time wasting and they never finish or turn it in.
Also homework can strain on the parent and child relationship because they argue over doing the homework. For example if the child wants to watch T. V. and the parent wants the child to do their homework, there is a beginning of an argument. Parents lose their patience because they are having to spend their time helping their child with their homework.
Homework keeps kids up all night doing homework,and do not get enough sleep, and this can result in serious consequences, impairing school performance and even raising the risk of depression. According to the National Sleep Foundation ..."Teenagers Yet many have to get up by 6 a.m. or earlier to get to school for a class that starts at 7:30 or 8 a.m. More than a few doze off during that class, and often the next one as well. Even if awake, they’re in no condition to learn much of anything". Also Dr. Carskadon said in an interview. “Students are not awake enough to attend to information they’re supposed to be learning, their knowledge acquisition is impaired and their ability to retrieve information is reduced. What is learned during the day is consolidated during sleep.”(New York Times May 23, 2011).
Once again homework is not necessary. I really, strongly think that more kids would stay in school and have a better learning experience if they did not have the stress of homework. All of these arguments can possibly lead to No Homework.
