I thank t. Ygy for letting me write about such an important person for me.&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    My dad always believes in what I can do.  He is a great companion in life.  He tries hard to achieve his goals.  One of his wishes, particularly his best is for his children live a good life.  I couldn't agree more to that because that will be my wish too. &lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;    From what I've written so far, I could now imagine myself from about 20 years from now.  My dad and I are pretty much alike, not mentioning we are both optimistic yet very practical people.  He is a deep thinker, he is very knowledgeable, but on the other hand &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;knows&lt;/span&gt; how to have fun.  That seems to be overrated, most of the time when he spends, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;he spends a lot&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;!&lt;/span&gt;  That was, in the past.  We have our doubts about religion as well.  Like others, but with a better understanding than what most people have.  I am &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;half-sure&lt;/span&gt; if he thinks exactly like me in these topics. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Important note: For religious believers, please do not read the next lines at the end of the paragraph if you (and your religion) don't want to get criticized.-----------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People may call us as atheists, but it is not as bad as it sounds.  I don't believe in any type of religion.  It is not because I was raised poorly, but simply because of the fact that I never saw God himself.  But I do believe that being religious is a good characteristic.  Most people who follow their religions mindfully are the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;good&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;people.  I like those kind of people, however, for me, believing is still some sort of weakness.  In the minds of most atheists, maybe they are saying "Why do these people &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;waste &lt;/span&gt;their time on going to church?".  As I have said, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;people may call us as atheists, people &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;will&lt;/span&gt; call us atheists.  But for me, maybe I do believe in religion, my dad was the one who talked to me about these things so that I would no longer have to think think (it's very tiring to try to understand).  I do believe in a religion that my dad taught me.  He taught me to believe in myself always.  Instead of praying I meditate and think of good thoughts always&lt;/span&gt;.  My dad almost thinks like me but I don't want to share something that is hard to explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    I never dedicated myself to writing an essay.  I'm sure there will be many more good topics to write about next time.  Not only about these &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;stuff&lt;/span&gt; that might bore most people.  Thanks for reading this, goodbye!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: courier new;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: times new roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7550634613980880569-6956206624568340112?l=oneofmyfavoritepeopleintheworld.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://oneofmyfavoritepeopleintheworld.blogspot.com/feeds/6956206624568340112/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7550634613980880569&amp;postID=6956206624568340112' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7550634613980880569/posts/default/6956206624568340112'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7550634613980880569/posts/default/6956206624568340112'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://oneofmyfavoritepeopleintheworld.blogspot.com/2007/06/one-of-my-favorite-people.html' title='One of my favorite people'/><author><name>enzo</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
