Two types of people.

[Wahrheit]

I wrote [url="http://www.scribd.com/doc/46637871/University-of-Chicago-Extended-Essay-Two-Types-of-People"]this essay[/url] for my University of Chicago application. Some people tell me it's pretty good.

I hope you all like it.

Very awesome topic. I really like it very much, your selected topic is such a unique from others topics. I like second and fourth paragraph, you described it very descriptive and too much good way to explain about the people.

Frankly, I'm convinced that this's vague right-wing bullshit. I'm not trying to discredit you or hate on you or anything, I'm just extremely opposed to this being your legacy or what you'd have us remember you by if you disappear.

What exactly are the ideals of these people who act? I'm not buying that they're "keeping the people who hope alive because they see potential and beauty in them." I'm not buying that "people who act" necessarily mean well for the frail, helpless, whimpering etc, majority just because they act. There're plenty of hard-working people out there with actual conceit and resentment towards people less hardworking than them who would rather use said less hardworking people for extra Ferraris and blood diamonds which they can buy "that much cheaper" than one could normally buy a blood diamond for for their fourth spouses because of they've connections with similarly horrid hardworking friends who man operation there.

Many "people who act" would rather belittle the pathetic hopers' opportunities than help them on any sort of quest to discover their potential. They'd rather abuse them, treating THEM as opportunities rather than as human beings. But this is immaterial. As long as you're motivated, you're a good peson amirite? Do you suppose Adolf Hitler was one who acted or one who merely hoped? Acting without sound moral guidance can produce catastrophic results. Action's an integral part of a good person, but it's not the only thing. There aren't a lack of incredibly evil active people out there. You can do much worse than watch the grass grow. You can do much better, but you can also do much worse.

Perhaps, but throughout the course of history it's been continually argued by both the good and the evil that one cannot exist without the other as they are defined through perspective.

Also keep in mind this is my personal essay, and I'm probably a little bit more righteous than most. Many.

I do not deny the many evils of the world and I seek to prosecute them some day, but I believe there is good in everyone, you just have to work hard enough to get to it. Some take more work than others.

What you're arguing really comes down to personal belief, and it sucks that you have such a bleak worldview. You're a bro to me, always have been, and I really hope something awesome happens to you so you get a little bit better one.
