Suppose that you are in a situation where you must answer the question "What is life?" Now quite possibly you believe that this question warrants a simple answer with need for little thought. But I seem to feel that this question is just a little more important than we all seem to think. "Life," as practiced in the American culture has just become another part of everyday and we to fit it in our busy schedules some way or another but ultimately we are not even taking part in it.
Taking time out of the day to experience life is something that can be found all around the world except in the majority of American culture. There is always something to do and always somewhere to be. Never do we sit down to spend time with the family or just have a casual conversation with a friend. We are all to scheduled. We must plan everything, we can never just plan on not doing anything and taking life in as it comes, because we must be in control of all things that enter our lives.
This mentality has devastated the home life of millions of families throughout the
Quite possibly this is the detrimental reason that our country is in such a state of unknown... It seems as though every day something occurs that just makes you think if all this stuff is ever going to just go back to normal. With the war against terror, (that by the way is very important) and the "Crisis in the Middle East," (which by the way is a terrible name, for if one country is blowing the bits out of another, then it is called WAR!) all the political squabble prejudice, hate, fear, and bad attitudes, how could we as Americans ever think that our country is going to be back to the "normal way of life?"
Some may say, that it is just the way life is, but how do we know life if we don't even allow time for it?... So you tell me, “What is life?” Does it have a definition?
