The next day, I went with Jessica and her
ward to badger creek. We did four activities. I think that the first was a
little ridiculous. We had to swing with a rope to a two foot square "raft
because we were being attacked by pirates." Another thing that made it
ridiculous is that we could not talk to each other because we did not want to
get the attention of the pirates. We had to fit as many of our group as we can
on the two foot square "raft". I thought that it was weird how the
girls had a very hard time swinging. It is like they don't understand physics.
They could barely hold themselves on the rope and get enough momentum to get to
the raft. People thought that this was a leadership game, but the not talking
rule made it lame; plus, additional rules were given limiting the suggestions
that were given. A girl suggested that we do a big doggy pile. Another
suggested that people sit on each other's shoulders, but both of them were shot
down. The situation was too ridiculous for me to care. If we were attacked by
pirates, we would not try to fit twenty-one people on a two foot square raft.
We did do it; although, I saw one person with only one foot on the raft, which
should have obligated us to restart. It was more of a trial and error unifying
than a leadership and communication practice. Someone tried to lead the people
as if she figured out how to fit everyone on the raft; however, the people did
not follow her instructions well. There was a knot high in the rope, and I
thought that it would be fun to swing two people over to the raft as once. The
other activities were more logical and challenging. I think that it is weird
that I only want to write about the ridiculous activity because all the other
ones were logical. We did rock climbing, a gigantic swing like thirty feet
tall, zip lining, and slacklining. I fell off the wall a couple times, when I
rock climbed. There was a safety system, so I did not fall far. I felt
out-of-it after being in the sun for so long, and did not care to do the swing.
Badger Creek is interesting. It fulfills its role in the school well.
I'd rather be hurt by you telling me the truth than lies. Keep deceiving people and think they don't know. One day it will catch up with you. The truth hurts when its contrary to what your made to believe. In one way or another lies always catch up with us, our consciousness doesn't let us lie for too long. Lying affects trust and loyalty in a relationship when your lied to you feel like you no longer belong you feel inadequate, telling the truth solidifies a relationship bond, and it might signify love or care; furthermore, telling the truth to me it tells that your emotionally mature. The truth makes me feel secure. Sometimes we give our hearts to people, and they think we are stupid for that we end up depending on them for loyalty. Truth is the only way two people can survive in a relationship and mutual understanding but reassurance and trust are the only things that might keep the relationship functioning. Dishonesty is the beginning of a fading relationship and...
