My question of the month/year is: is life worth living without dieing?
Can we truly live if we have not already died? As Angela put it.
So in Lit class we have read the Odyssey and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pere Gorio(sp). My first paper I wrote on the Odyssey was about virtues of the time period of the Odyssey which I discovered was power/courage, love, and deception. I thought, "Wow those are weird virtues." But then we read Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and low and behold I discovered the same underlining virtues. Then in Pere Gorio yup you guessed it I also dicovered that these virtues stood strong. I was very confused and began to wonder if it was the same today. I began to look at people in the world around me to see if they too treasured love, power, and deception as much as we did in the past, and sure enough we do. Though we say we hate people who only want power or people who deceive we still praise them as a society. But then I began to realize these aren't really the center virtues. There is one much larger vitue that we live for and that is self preservation.
I will just leave you with that thought.
