Assignment 19: Corey McMullin

The one piece of advice that has stuck with me was from the Assassin's Creed video game series: "Nothing is true. Everything is permitted." In other words, question everything and be aware of your actions. The truth is hidden among lies. By following blind faith people are lead astray. And if you do not think about your actions, the consequences will crush you. This advice, evident in each new copy of Assassin's Creed, has helped me ever since I first heard it because I was conscientious enough to actually consider how my words and actions would affect others. It matured me, making me into a nice guy that cared about people (a funny thing to learn from murderers). I understood that I could do whatever I wanted and say whatever pleased me, but I would have to live knowing that I would have to live the rest of my life regretting it.
