One of the biggest events that kept us tranquil was The Ceremony of Twelve. The Ceremony of Twelve is ,whereas, when we turn into a Twelve we are assigned our jobs for the rest of our life by the Council of Elders, who've been meticulously observing us since we were little Ones. We're supposed to feel proud and grateful that our jobs had been so meticulously chosen to our liking and skills but I just feel like that a part of our childhood and life had been decided for us, or taken away.]]> 2018-05-22 20:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sernajess48/en7c7quyy5mr/wish/262840300 sernajess48 https://padlet.com/sernajess48/en7c7quyy5mr/wish/262840301 Keeping a thought, emotion, memory and using it for wisdom and to really experience more out of life than just a painless and troublefree world is really something entirely different than the utopian society I used to live in.]]> 2018-05-22 20:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sernajess48/en7c7quyy5mr/wish/262840301 sernajess48 https://padlet.com/sernajess48/en7c7quyy5mr/wish/262840305 LOVE. The memory and emotion of love is what gave me the courage and motivation to take baby Gabriel with me and escape to Elsewhere. Love is one of the most warm and wonderful feelings I've ever felt. When I was still in the community, when I received the memory of love, I wanted to share it with my friends and family unit. To show them what a marvelous feeling it was. But, when I had asked my parents, "Do you love me?", they chastised me and told me the word was so meaningless that it was almost obsolete. I didn't understand what they meant so I didn't believe it. We should be allowed to remember. We should be able to express how we feel in emotions not feelings. Because emotions are more deeper, they're apart of experiencing life as it is. What's the point of living if you can't feel? ]]> 2018-05-22 20:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sernajess48/en7c7quyy5mr/wish/262840305 sernajess48 https://padlet.com/sernajess48/en7c7quyy5mr/wish/262840306 Instead of just having someone decided your life for you, we should be able to decide how our own life's go and what destinys we own. We should be able to CHOOSE. Our differences are our strengths and weaknesses in our own life and environment.]]> 2018-05-22 20:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sernajess48/en7c7quyy5mr/wish/262840306 sernajess48 https://padlet.com/sernajess48/en7c7quyy5mr/wish/262840307 Our freedom of choice was very limited in our lives as we were expected to all be the same, no one different. We didn't get to choose who we loved, what family we were apart of, what we wore, our names, not even whom we touched. ]]> 2018-05-22 20:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/sernajess48/en7c7quyy5mr/wish/262840307 sernajess48 https://padlet.com/sernajess48/en7c7quyy5mr/wish/262842311  A Utopian Society is when a community of people have made their own version of a perfect society
