===="It’s not so much the journey that’s important; as is the way that we treat those we encounter and those around us, along the way”--Jeremy Aldana ==== This quote represents an important lesson to live by.

Treating others with kindness and respect will cause people to reciprocate these feelings towards you.

Wednesday: The video showed how cyber bullying can spread from person to person, starting out as a simple comment or post and turning quickly into hateful messages. It can happen through social media or texting and spreads quickly. The video showed that girls are twice as likely to be the victims or perpetrators of cyber bullying than boys.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is someone that a respect. He is a famous astrophysicist as well as a science communicator. He is often in the media and is credited with making science cool again. He is an extremely intelligent person but is not exclusively focused on science. I have seen him on many shows weighing in on heavy-hitting political issues with all the race and knowledge of a political analyst. He is a brilliant man who is able to communicate ideas in such an entertaining way that it is impossible not to be interested in what he has to say.

The moral of this story is that what goes around comes around. The goblins made fun of the old man for being old and stupid. This caused the goblins to become old and stupid. Meanwhile, the old man became younger and sharper. The goblins were unable to see that making fun of the old man was turning them into monsters until it was too late.
