Nobel Peace Prize Day

The peace prize was named after Alfred Nobel who invented dynamite. Later he had such guilty feelings for inventing something that caused so much injury that he came up with this award. The award is presented in Norway and goes to an individual who has done the most for the good of humanity.
Today President Obama is getting the award.Obama said he received the award with "great humility" and acknowledged the "controversy" saying that next to "some of the giants of history who have received this prize my accomplishments are slight".

Did you ever do something good after doing something bad? Is it possible to "cancel out" bad with good?

I really dont know if i did any thing bad then do something bad but i wish i had of.

JennyG 8a said...

I don't think you can cancel out bad with good. You may make it better, but the bad still remains afterwords. Unless you do something that would change the bad into good. Otherwise, it's impossible to change it.

No i have not done anything good after doing something bad. When I get in trouble I just let it roll off my shoulders.It is possible to cancel out the bad with the good. My sister does it all the time. She will get in trouble and afterward make my mom breakfast so she wouldnt get in trouble.

When I had yelled at a teacher for saying something dumb to me. And I really didn't get into trouble that much because I helped this kid that had droped all of his stuff and made a mess all over the hallway. So I guess it can be like that.

Yes i have done something bad once and i have tried to to do something good aftterwords.A example once i did that was when i was blaming something my three year old brother hadnt done so afterwards i gave a dollar so he could buy a toy at the store.That i think is being good and some people will consider that a bribe but it is not.
