That's what botox is for

This unit or past month or so has probably been my favorite. I really enjoyed the second go around of dorian gray and liked Dr. Faustus. It was a good month in the difficult ap english class of mrs. Burnett;)

Quickly we are to say we wouldn't sell our soul for anything. But I truly doubt that most of us wouldn't, if like Bob Barker used to say, "the price is right".

And furthermore, when I think about it, do we not sell our souls everyday? Not to the extent of Dr. Faustus, but we do undermine our morals and standards for what we want. Anyone who says they don't slip up sometimes is lying. So what is the price to truly sell your soul.

I am reminded of The Fountainhead and how Peter Keating said he would sell his soul for Howard Roark's help on a project. The response of Roark was this:
"To sell your soul is the easiest thing in the world. That's what everybody does every hour of his life. If I asked you to keep your soul---- would you understand why that's much harder?"

This excellent quote is very telling of humans. We always compromise our beliefs for our wants, even with trivial things in life. And I agree with Roark, it would be way more difficult to not do it.

In trying to figure out what I would sell my soul for, I really struggled. I believe that there is a heaven and he'll and that I will spend eternity, as hard as it is to fathom, in the first of those places. Based on my faith, there is nothing that I can think of that I would trade for if I had to spend all of eternity in hell.

So I tried to think of what others would want or have happen to sell their souls. If I had children and a wife and either I or them had to go to he'll, I would sacrifice myself for them. Just as I would for my family now. It is such a stretch off of the real world that it is hard for me to imagine or think of it even happening.

But I certainly would not do it for 3 wishes or to look young for the rest of my life. Plus, that's what botox is for.
