Sometimes I speak my mind even though I know it would be better for everyone if I just shut up. But if I could choose where I would want to be, Id pick Dauntless. I have always deeply admired brave people and wished I was one of them. x) I love how they overcome their fear and stand up to it.<br /><br />Thanks for the giveaway, by the way!

I wouldn't choose The Brave because there are a lot of brave but stupid people out there who just cause trouble for themselves. I wouldn't pick The Selfless because sometimes we do need to put ourselves first. It really comes down to The Peaceful and The Intelligent for me. <br /><br />When you get a group of purely intelligent people together, there is bound to be chaos and friction because they know they are smart and always think they are right. Not to mention fights for control of power.<br /><br />In the end I'd probably choose Amity: The Peaceful. Though even that has it's draw backs because to be so peaceful, people would have to be unbelievably accepting, in which case, what happens to people's own opinions? But then again, maybe it's just that people are that respectful of your opinions even if they don't share them. And if that's the case, then they too are intelligent. Plus I could use some frikin peace for once.<br /><br />+1 Tweeted: http://twitter.com/thebookpixie/status/46538683322597376<br /><br />Excellent giveaway and writing prompt. :D<br /><br />~Briana<br />thebookpixie[at]yahoo[dot]com~The Book Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15626728583139972447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8819397898699031319.post-30968928301099626372011-03-11T21:32:01.541-05:002011-03-11T21:32:01.541-05:00I think I would probably be in Amity- The Peaceful...I think I would probably be in Amity- The Peaceful.

I would choose to go to...Thanks for the giveaway! <br /><br />I would choose to go to 'the selfless (abnegation)' faction. I believe that one can be dauntless for the wrong reasons or motivations. One can aim for peace using unjust methods (ironically) or one can say his life is peaceful just because he is looking out for his own without taking others into consideration. One can be intelligent but be also apathetic. And one can be so honest that the results of his actions bring great pain. These things can cause others great harm and suffering. They are also the points I thought of that led me to my choice. When one aims for selflessness, he must be (1) brave to choose others than himself; (2) at peace with his choices so that he will be able to endure; (3) intelligent, because being selfless is also thinking about the best way to help others and; (4)honest to himself in times when he is confused as to what is the right thing to do. Actually, I am thinking of selflessness here as the Christian selflessness, where one's self is not 100% forgotten; because in the first place, how can one perform acts of selflessness if he forgets about the basic things for himself? It may seem confusing, but my point is, I choose selflessness here because I believe (1) the essence of the word/virtue is the proper balance between thinking about oneself and others and; (2)it involves the other virtues upheld by the other factions.<br /><br />extra entry: http://twitter.com/#!/gladguelas/status/45134238453993472<br /><br />Whew!
