Just 10 minutes of your time please?...

Hey! I really liked what you said Katelin! I agree, if a person takes a second to do a simple act of kindness; listen to someone vent for example--it would make both parties feel much better. That is why I think that in the imaginative world we were talking about in class--where if each person took some time out of their day to stop what they had going on to help someone suffering--it would in fact not have the entire world depressed all the time. It would be almost the exact opposite. I mean, yes, there would be some depressed peop0le during the time of the trial, but with the help of someone else bearing the burden, leaning on each other for support, wouldn't it be easier to get through together? That is what would keep joy prevalent. for example, in "Musee des Boux Arts", leke we discussed yesterday, the ploughman needs to work, yes, but if he had taken that day off, or just a few hours off to go save a boy's life who had just fallen from the sdy, Icarus, it could've changed his life forever. He and Icarus would definitely have remembered that act of kindness 10 years later rather than remembering another day at work. The impact of helping someone else out, outshines passive behavior and regrets any gloomy day.

  1. I really like that! How hard is it to take 10 minutes out of your day to be a friend? It was really interesting to talk about this in class the other day. You never know what someone is going through, and ten minutes in your life could mean the world to someone else.
