Looking back at the year we had and trying to understand what a good and meaningful life was, I feel that the only way a person can determine wether or not they are living a good and meaningful life truely depends on them. We can not evaluate another persons life and say yes their living a meaningful life or not. I think the only time one is truely living a good and meaningful life is when we are younger. I say this because when we are younger we are who we are 100%, we arent doing things to impress people, fit in, stay in shape pyhsically, were just regular human beings enjoying life the way we should be. I think this is important because as we get older we begin to allow others to think for us or mis lead us to things - these others are who are invovled in the advertisement of the media and pop culture. We see things that pop culture display and say we need etc, and changes who we are. They also put images of those who are on magizanes who are betrayed to be either sexy, handsome, physically fit, acne free. Then the average person tends to alternate their views to become or live this fantasy life that they see celebrities and other rich people living. But they fail to realize that being themselves is the most genuine thing to do and not changing to become someone but maybe changing to better themself and help them live a more meaningful life.
Living a good and meaningful life can mean eating healthy, being aware of your true feelings at all times, taking part in fun filled activities (sports, swimming, art, music etc.), being aware of your body, taking part in good causes, giving back to your community, things like that can allow you to have a good and meaningful life. Im not saying a person should have to do all of these activities listed, but understanding the value of how it can help you is good as well. You dont have to work out to be fit, you dont have to be on a diet to eat healthy, but its the decisions you make that can help you enjoy food and not be over weight.
The new unit we have been discussing has been about the collapse soon to come. I think before this collapse arrives I want to have either achieved most goals in my life, over come fears, and be living a good and meaningful life. ALthough the majority of our society will be wiped away, I feel that accepting the sitiuation is better rather than trying to avoid it or covering it. Because if we are able to accept it than just maybe we could be able to get through it, or create new ideas so that we can survive.
