Hello, my name is Marina, I’m 15. I study in gymnasium №45 in the 10^th form. I want to share some ideas on how I see the world. This topic is very big and I can discuss it all the time, but I would like to tell only those things which are more important for me.

I think that the world is ruled by profit and pragmatism of people. I know that there are a lot of people who don’t follow it, who would come to help you every moment you need a help. Unfortunately people like them could die easily, because they give all their happiness and kindness to others and in the end they are left with nothing. People who share happiness and kindness for some reason are very often unhappy.

The world is cruel, the world is a game where you should solve your problems only on your own. To solve problems you should always think about your next step, about public reactions, you, you should make a strategy to be the first. That’s why I think that profit and pragmatism rule the world.

Every person first of all thinks about his profit. For example, you want to make a new friend. You think you need more communication – this is your profit.

Another example. You are in a group of people. Now these people are arguing about music genres. You are sharing your opinion with them. You have your own interest: you need to be heard; maybe you want to change their opinion about you or you might want to prove our opinion.

The pragmatism rules the world. If you are a pragmatic you think about your next steps, you make plans and you know what to do in difficult situations. It is impossible to work out everything, but if you plan at least something you have more chances.

Unfortunately there are even more successful people than pragmatics, I’m talking about cynics. Life proves that they are very strong in getting their goals because they neglect all human feelings, respect and honesty.

This is how I see the world, but I don’t want to judge these people because this is another topic.
