  Navya Rao Week 1 “Fact”? The world is weird in the sense that absolutely nothing is absolute. The universe is measured in terms of relativity. My purple can be your orange. The difference between these “facts” and opinions are that facts have been agreed upon globally for a long time relatively, while opinions vary extremely. With enough evidence and reasoning, anything can be fact.   But these “facts” that we digest as concrete, are what allow animals to live in harmony. Well, not really any animals other than humans, and maybe a couple species that we force to serve us as either food or just because they’re too adorable (How have dogs not united and revolted against us yet?

In the end, I didn’t meet this goal; I barely even made a dent in my 60+ movie list. Even though I didn’t exactly meet my expectations, it wasn’t exactly a flat out fail either.
