French exam today: probably the easiest of all exams I've taken so far.

It was simple:
-Read a story called "La Dernier Classe", and answer questions
-(Essay) Respond to the question (in French, of course): "According to some, it is impossible to live an entirely honest life in the world we live in. Do you share this opinion? Justify your answer."

"La Dernier Classe" was about a boy living in the Alsace-Lorraine territory during the Franco-Prussian war, and the switch from a French culture to a German culture. It was really simple

The essay, though simple, got me thinking. I concluded that:

Indeed it is impossible for someone to live honestly in the world we live in.
Man cannot live a completely honest life because man is imperfecet from birth. (no matter how you define your life, you wouldn't describe yourself, or anyone you know as perfect. this is the only assumption i will make about anyone.) Humans are constantly, selfishly searching for inner peace- no matter what the case. Take me for example. I am considered by many to be an honest person, however, I am not perfect: I have done dishonest things.

I can't possibly think right now: I'll edit this later.
