Blog post I

So as I'm going along reading Macbeth, or when I go along reading most anything that's school assigned I usually think of project ideas. Since all of my lame little projects usually revolve around music and pictures I tend to find a little of both that remind me of the story. So recently I listened to a song by chance called Flawed Design by Stabilo , and it was surprising how fitting it was to the character Macbeth and Lady Macbeth throughout the story. As they go on they lie more, and tend to try and blame it on anyone but themselves. Which is rather interesting that they both seem to be oblivious to the fact that they are the guilty ones, and no outside power is forcing them to commit the crimes, and tell the lies that they do. They don't seem to understand that everything that is happening, is in some way their own fault. It's rather tragic.

Ambition

Question; Is someone born with ambition or do they become ambitious depending on their upbringing?


 Well I think that my opinion on this is going to agree with the first statement. That people are born with ambition. I mean; honestly I think everyone is born with ambition. Ambition to live that is. I'm pretty sure all living creatures have the ambition to live. Humans are the only ones who's main ambition probably changes throughout their lifespan. Once we start thinking we pick a different ambition, or we just keep to the same idea of the ambition to live. People who aren't terribly driven to do anything still have the ambition to live. I find it's more uncommon to be unambitious, if you're looking at it from my perspective. Of course upbringing will definitely add a variant to anything, but it just changes ambition, or gets rid of it completely. We're all born with a drive to do something, even if that something is just surviving. So yeah, long story short I believe people are born with one ambition but their upbringing merely effects and changes that ambition.
