"this is water"
I agree that many young people do not yet completely understand adulthood and what it means to go to work and do the same routine everyday and make sure that you go to the stores when needed. We make every decision based on us and how we feel. If something is wrong we can chose to change it and try to think about what other people are going through as well. Many people just think about themselves and not about others but we do not know what they are going through and it could be a bad day for them. Something could be going on that they are trying to hide and act like everything is okay. You never know what someone is going through and just because they may seem happy and like nothing is wrong something can be going on. There are many things that are bigger than us and that we have no control over but we do have control over how we decide to react and then act in certain situations and how we treat the people around us.

I completely agree when you say that not many young people completely understand adult hood, but I would almost say that most young people don't completely understand adulthood. While several young adults have part-time jobs, that's nothing compared to what our parents go through every day when they get up and do the same routine day in and day out.
ReplyDeleteGreat post Courtney! I agree that we do not have control over everything and all we can do is react in the best way possible and worry about that.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you with all of your ideas of this video. There are situations in life that many people deal with everyday and cover it up to hide from others. And I like how you ended this with how we cant control how certain situations happen, but we do have control over how we react to them.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with your last statement "There are many things that are bigger than us and that we have no control over but we do have control over how we decide to react...". Summing up what I attempted to say in my blog post on This Is Water haha. You mentioned choice earlier in your post as well which was done very well, although, the statement about how many people only think about themselves was a pretty strong statement, Id suggest rewording that to sound less harsh. But I love the rest of your ideas and points!
