       Postulate     

   The first one of the theorems in my life is something I had never really had an answer to. I never actually thought about why I loved my family, despite the fact that they loved me. I found out that the reason I love my family is because God loves me. The second one of my theorems, is the fact that God is my Father. I actually knew why He was my Father, that being He created me and the Bible, His word, said so. The postulate I came up with is simple. I like the color purple because I just do. It looks terrible when I wear it as clothing, I never use it in any of my art pieces for school, and there are so many different colors for me to like. I like the color purple, and I can't prove why, so its a postulate. 

   In learning about personal postulates and theorems, I also realize that there are reasons for almost everything, big or small. Going forward, I will pay attention to my own postulates and theorems, appreciating how they affect me and my beliefs. I will also recognize other people's personal beliefs and respect them, knowing there is either a reason to them, or because they just are.
