Here's a riddle that I'd like you to think about, there are no trick answers, and no right or wrong answers, just answers in their entirty.

You're captured at the age of 16 are temporarily placed in a room with white walls, a constant dripping faucet in a white sink, a chess board with all white pieces. You have to survive 3 months in that room until released. There are no exits other than the sealed white door in front of you. What would you do to survive?

I guess...Old people arent so bad.

After watching this psych video in Mrs. Patterson's class, I've learned that the elderly are in most cases more happier with their life than those in mid-life. I'm not sure if it's because the elderly hold their egos higher with the sight of death around the bend, or maybe they are just so freakin wise with age that they just gleam about everything! I DONT KNOW!

How could this be? How could a person hold the knowledge that the possibility of death increases everyday be happier than a person who is sure of the healthy life he or she lives? What makes old people so happy? Are you as surprised about this discovery as I am?

Stop It You Old People!

Every time i hang out with my Great Grandma and her boyfriend Dave i get depressed. Both my Great Grandmother and Dave have both lost their spouses. I can tell by the way they act and by the way looks on their faces that they are constantly thinking about their own death, as well as eachothers. I'm sorry, I know it's a really upsetting and touchy subject but I cant get over it myself.

I'm afraid that when i reach the age of 70, all I'll be able to think about is the fact that I'm going to die soon. The fact that I've lived 90 percent of my life and sometime very soon I'm going to go to sleep, and never wake up.

When I'm older i dont want to live my reaining years thinking of this, does anybody else fear this? Does anybody have any insight?

The Walking Dead

You've just left the doctor's office and received the news that in the next year you will die....

You sit there, in the parking lot, embracing the hardships of the next year. The mentallity that your life will soon come to an end. That you have roughly 365 days remaining on this Earth.
The clock is ticking for you. How does this change your mentallity of life, your mentallity of living?
Before responding to this blog with your uneducated minds, watch this nine minute video. It is unimportant of where this video is from, for the meaning and what it conveys is far more important. It is some-what dark and gruesome, but it will open your eyes to be able to see through the eyes of those only having a remaining 365 days....Reflect.
