What emotions would I feel if I was reunited with a loved one at the "kissing post."

What emotions would I be feeling? It might be a sudden rush of relief. It seems like there's a chance that  that loved one may not even show, but once they do, it just makes you so relieved to know they made it. I would feel joy for being able to wait that long for them to find me/ to come because I didn't go insane while waiting for however long. I may feel overwhelmed and may even start crying. Falling into whoever's arms and not want them to ever leave me again or separated from me. I wouldn't care if anyone saw how ridiculous we looked, laughing, smiling, and crying; being in a mess of loving tears.

Carnegie "Wealth" Essay

I agree with most of what Carnegie says. I mean it's all a logical thought process, and it's based on what society is about and how everything works. In reality, you need money to survive, and enough to not just get by, but enough to even give away. I think that isn't such a bad idea, but some just have a hard time getting on their feet. Sure they all have their reasons, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. His three steps to success was really useful as well. It makes sense: get educated, earn money, and be a person who doesn't want to live with their money, but give as much of it away as possible. People need to understand that earthly things will not go with us when we die. Nothing does. Do not cling to the possessions in general of this earth. Money is one of the worst to do it with.


“Besides this, it may fairly be said that no man is to be extolled for doing what he cannot

help doing, nor is he to be thanked by the community to which he only leaves wealth at

death. Men who leave vast sums in this way may fairly be thought men who would not

have left it at all, had they been able to take it with them.”

-I did find this quote a little unfair. I do agree giving money away is good, but if you don't give it all away before death is a disgrace, that's bad? When we talked about this in class, a thought came into my head. A thought I live by myself. When a good deed is done, don't brag about it. Sometimes people want to give you a lot of recognition for what you have done and you don't want that. Personally I would simply save money for a certain reason, that is worth the recognition, and not give it away until I die, so people wouldn't bug me about making sure I got noticed. I would hate the attention!
