"The most important thing you will ever have is good values."

 

Dennis Prager

Reflection: I agree with this quote because it doesn't matter what materials and things you have, but the most important thing is to have good values. Having good values can make you a good and successful person and that is better than having most things you want. Good values are more important than feelings because good values are doing what you should and feeling is doing what you want. Living by the rules of good values can make you have a better, happier, healthier, more successful life. Most of the world doesn't have good values or won't listen to good values which is why it is mostly a corrupt unhappy dangerous world.

Prisoner Eric Smallridge was convicted with a DUI and Manslaughter for drinking and driving; killing two girls Megan and Lisa around the age of 20. He was sentenced to 22 years in prison but when Megan's mother Renee asks the judge to cut that sentence in half the judge does. Megan's mother (one of the girls killed in the accident) forgives Eric because she doesn't want to hate him forever and she sees that he is really sorry for what he did to her daughter so she forgives him for what he did. They both talk to kids at school about drinking and driving and Eric gets out early from prison and gets to be with his happy parents eventually the other girls family forgives him to.

Reflection: I agree with this quote because if things that are good are popular than more people will do them and if things that are bad are unpopular that it is less likely that people will do them.
