I believe that philosophy is something that you live by. My philosophy is “keep it pure and keep it tight”, which means to keep yourself pure and keep your other “Stuff” tight. I believe in abstinence and that it is a lifestyle. When I say lifestyle, I mean that you just don’t keep your body pure but you keep your mind pure as well. You don’t listen to music that is degrading or watch movies that are impure. This philosophy is also backed up by the bible because one of God’s 10 commandments says that you should not commit adultery and I believe that the only way of that is by staying pure in every aspect in life. I chose this philosophy because I believe this is the one that is for me. I know that it is the one for me because it helps me with my walk in Christ. I am extremely glad that I chose this philosophy to live by because it is very healthy for my life. It is healthy because it helps me out of trouble. I also believe that everyone should have some kind of healthy philosophy to life by because it helps you stay positive. I believe that it can be anything that helps your self-esteem because any philosophy like that it will take you a long way.

Write whatever comes to mind for this question; just let your thoughts take you from one place to the next. Remember that it needs to be at least 250 words. Also, since Gustav has set us all back a bit, consider this to be due by the end of week 3 instead of week 2.
