Eulogy

Mark Waechter. What a guy. There are so many things to say about this man. Let's start with his most important rule. Never get mad. Mark understood that getting mad didn't solve anything. It was all about thinking logically to this guy. Being close-minded was not the answer. You can never reach conclusions while being close-minded. He always knew the best way to fix a problem was to listen to all the ideas, not think he was the only correct one. There is nothing as scary as a man who thinks he's right. Life to him was all about changing the world for the better. If we get a bunch of powerful enough together to help make a change, what does it matter if they are all closed-minded and think they are right? No work will get done because no one is willing to compromise because they are SURE that their way is the right one no matter how much evidence is stacked against them. That’s why Mark hated politics. The politicians no longer care about helping the citizens get better lives. They care about trying to implement their laws into the government to help their own lives and try to get elected again so they can get paid to get nothing done. This is the problem with the world. No one really seems to care about making the world better for the next generation. All we want is to be lazy because we don’t understand the amount of influence we have on being able to change the course of history.
