I believe in farming

One of my biggest beliefs is in the fact that farmers are the center of the world.  They provide the food that keeps us alive.  I believe that most farmers have values that the rest of the world should be jealous of.  Farmers are some of the strongest people that I know.   Strength not only in the physical form but also in terms of emotions.  Who else can watch something that they have put an enormous amount of work into, die to become food for another person.  Who else could wake up early, go to bed late, and work from wake up to bed.  They provide the food that feeds the world and keeps the rest of us working.  Without farmers there would be none of the rest of us.  We could not survive without food.  We could not dress without farmers, there would be no clothing.  We would have to run naked.  We would have no furniture.  A farmer is extremely involved in his or her community.  They help their neighbors.  They celebrate with their neighbors, they grieve with their neighbors.  They are entwined in their neighborhoods.

ISTJ

I am a generally quiet individual.  Writing is not normally my "thing", but I am able to formulate a generally well thought out sentence, paragraph, and paper.  When taking the Jung Typology test, I found it interesting in the way that some of the questions were worded.  They were not necessarily small town friendly, but in context they were easily understandable.  After taking the test, it was determined that I was of the type ISTJ, this means introversion, sensing, thinking, and judging.  I think of myself as somewhat of an introvert because there are very few people that I let truly know the real me.  I believe it is important to follow the rules and I can typically sense when something is wrong with people.  In reading the narrative about the ISTJ type, I found it interesting that it suggests the type of writing that I would prefer is writing over facts versus writing about the steps of doing something.  This is me to perfection.
