During our discussion in class on Monday I really got a sense of what Ethics mean, not only to everyone else, but also to me. When we talked about death and the afterlife, everyone seemed to have similar opinions. I personally am not sure if there is an afterlife but I think I would like to believe there is, that after we die we don't just you. Death is something I believe to be something that happens when it is believed that it is your time. When my grandmother passed away, she had told my family and I that she was happy with what she had done with her life, and was ready to go.
When something traumatic happens to you, you begin to see life differently. You want to live your life in that persons legacy, you want to make sure disappear make them proud. Sometimes that means changing the person you are for the better, not taking anything for granted and sharing your heart with others. But, when something happens to others, they can become very cold and shut down. They can start to blame their problems on the world and others. When something heartbreaking happens to someone, it is your choice on which path you take. You can be the good or the bad person.
These ethics are something very important to me because being the person you want to be you always the best person. Sometimes you have to have something terrible happen to you to realize how precious and short life is. Everyone has different beliefs on a million different topics but it is how YOU choose to be that defines your life. People will always find something wrong with the way you think about something, and that person will try and challenge you on that topic. As long as you know in your heart and mind what is right for you, thats all that matters.
I really enjoyed reading this blog post! I remember talking about this stuff in class and I definitely agree with a lot of what you wrote. I think that it's always important to strive to be a better version of yourself, because there is always room for improvement. You said that when something tragic happens to someone they have the choice of being the bad person or the good person. Do you think that this choice is usually intentional, and once somebody has made the choice is it possible for them to change the path they took?
