"For better or worse, you'll find out everything you want (or don't want) to know about this world."

The quote explains how in life you learn more and more everyday about various subjects history, math, and life especially. Having learned so much about so many brilliant things, you collect a myriad of knowledge you wish you hadn't. You begin to witness different situations.  You become more aware of the atmosphere and settings around you and and you misplace things. Innocence. Curiosity. Yourself.

In the novel Black and White two friends Marcus and Eddie hold stickup's to get money for the expenses of life. Marcus and Eddie find themselves in a sticky situation however when life, or karma I suppose catches up to them. The two learned a lot through the trials and errors of life and how things can change in seconds. Marcus experienced the rough, gruesome, and awful inhabitants of jail. He commonly thinks on how many of the law breakers could be locked up for far more dangerous things than him and how any of them could hurt him at any given moment. Marcus received the knowledge of a new experience but not one he'd want to know of. Marcus also learned a valuable lesson on sacrifice. Marcus gave up a scholarship and his freedom just so that his friend could have a chance to become someone and they both wouldn't end up behind bars.

In my life I have a lot of things that I hope I can know one day. I want a masters in psychology and one for photography. Sometimes I wander how much easier it would be if you could learn life like a class, take notes, have test, and everything is figured out. But that's not how life works. You have to find who you want to be even if it means learning the good and loving side of humanity and the bad and indifferent side as well. Life throws many curve balls and you may learn that not everything In the world is moral in courageous and there are some things that we wish we could overlook in the history and in the world. But we still have to learn to enjoy ourselves and live because life is to short to be unhappy and upset at the things that we can't control.

“The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it's all that matters.”

― Audrey Hepburn
