A
code isn’t just a program or a law. It is something that benefits someone’s own
interest and the people they care about. Basically, you do you because it makes
you happy or someone else happy. Now obviously you can’t always make the right
choice and you might regret one or more. But that is natural; nothing in life
is guaranteed to be perfect, just like my code.
My
code is to always be honest with everyone, to be loyal to the people who are
close to me, and be respectful to even the people you dislike. Now I know that
is cliché and not really unique but these are the things I have been sticking
to all my life and things have gone relatively well. When I say I’m honest,
that means I will tell you the truth, no matter how brutal it is. I’m always loyal to the people I care about.
Whenever they need me, I’m there. Even if its something I don’t agree with,
I’ll always support them. Now, when I say be respectful to even your enemies
that means, no matter how angry they make you or how much they hurt you, you
cannot steep down to their level. Sure, sometimes being this way leads me to
getting myself in trouble with people, but that’s my choice to be the way I am
and people respect me for it.
The
reason I believe everyone should have their own code is because it shows who you are. Your code usually fits your personally. Its not
something that you make up one day, its just who you are everyday. When you
react naturally to a certain situation, that is your core inner self. All you
can really do in life is stay true to yourself.

I liked how you use the term "code" to summarize an individual's beliefs, actions, morals and rules we live by. I think the term code puts all of these into a new cool perspective... that we function day to day based on our code. And that each person has a different code which is what makes us individuals. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteI agree with that concept of a code that matches one's personality. People just don't realize and embrace the code. This could also be interpreted in a religious way. Religion essentially could substitute for a code. Some people ignore a portion of the teachings of their religion and this essay explains how someone's first response to a situation is there true self which might enlighten those aforementioned people to make life changes based on that.
ReplyDeleteI personally believe in that everyone should have their own code.People these days are too fake to show their true colors. but with this essay I feel like you are inspiring people to start making their own code.
