Lessons of Life

In class we recently watched a movie called "Tuesdays with Morrie". Well, from this movie I learned alot things about how I should live my life.The first thing I learned is that we feel weird, awkward, and scared in certain situations such as death. We fell this way in these situations because that is how me are trained to feel its the culture norm. In American culture we hate talking about death, because are culture doesn't like to talk about death. While in other cultures they see death as a good thing, they feel that you are moving on to a new world or some aren't aloud to mention the deceased name.Although, the most important lesson I learned from the movie is "Once you learn to die, you learn to live" Morrie. Well, right then and there i realized that people there whole life are scared to die, but if they were at peace with that they would be able to open there mind to enjoying life more. So I made a promise to myself that the older i get the less i should worry about death and then i will live my life more peaceful and more enjoyable.Also, i will look at aging not as a bad thing (American culture norm) but as a good thing because the older you get the more knowledge you gain.

  2. Be careful of "fell" - I think you mean feel. Also you wrote "me" but mean "we".

    Good realization though that you had. And sociologically, it is interesting that the older we get, the more we do not fear death. So your realization will probably be true.
