Picture a perfect society. What does it look like?
You have been selected along with a group of strangers to create a just society. To prevent any manipulation of the system for personal gain, you have all been placed under a "veil of ignorance." This means that you are unaware of certain details about each other and yourselves, such as age, sex, profession, talents, wealth, and beliefs. According to the political philosopher John Rawls, this lack of information should motivate you to consider what is most fair for all members of society. Rawls introduced this thought experiment, known as "the original position," in his 1971 work "A Theory of Justice," in an attempt to establish principles that would support a realistic utopia. This ideal society would ensure that everyone has the necessary resources and opportunities to freely pursue their goals. Rawls believed that these principles could only be achieved in a democratic system, as he viewed existing social structures, influenced by free market philosophies and welfare capitalism, as leading to unjust concentrations of wealth and power.

Two Pink Lines
I had never really felt like a child. I'd always had to raise myself. My mother was just a teenager when she'd had me and consequently, we had spent my whole childhood arguing and fighting like a couple of sisters as opposed to mother and daughter. My father was older than my mother but still had some maturing to do himself. He focused his entire life on me, his little girl but never realized the pressure that put on me. I always felt I had to raise him even as he was trying to raise me. We raised each other. Then, I met him. He cares, he shows me a love like I've never known. For once, it's about me and I don't have to focus on other people's needs and what someone needs from me. Someone always wants something from you. That is what my parents have taught me. Love is selfish but it isn't with him. He is perfect, beautiful, funny, and can take me to places I've only dreamed about. Places outside my mind and my own pathetic life and I know that I will always love him. When we first met, I wanted him to have my children, but now? Right now, with us both still in high school? This is all happening so soon. I slipped into the restroom at work. It had been 6 weeks since my last menstrual and this was not normal. I couldn't wait any longer. I put the top on the test and waited. These 60 seconds felt like forever. What would we do? We were both seniors so we didn't have long to go before school was over but this was not the plan. The plan was for him to join the Army and me the National Guard and for me to get my associate's degree and then we marry, then have kids.
