Is Suicide Ever Justified?

This is a very controversial subject in every point of aspect in life. The question may shatter many people, but at the same time it might just get many other people very upset. Many situations that have occurred where suicide is the last aspect of the subject, the situation can be very insignificant. For example, there is a time that occurred not that long ago where two young girls committed suicide by placing themselves in the middle of the train tracks. The train eventually took their lives away. The patterned under this problem, was because a young girl had lost her boyfriend and she decided to kill herself. In that thought her 2 best friends were going to kill themselves with her. However, when they set themselves in the train tracks, one of the young girls backed down. The other two, however, lost their lives. In such situation like this one, I cannot consider any thing okay with killing yourself. I am actually a strong believer that suicide is not justifiable regardless of the issues, or problems you might be passing by. We always have to remember that there are many people out there in the world that are less fortunate than us, and they are working very hard to stay alive every day. This is showing us that we cannot let a simple problem take us down. I have fallen so many times in life and I have felt very shattered, but from that, I have never thought about killing myself. This is because I always remember that somewhere out there in the world there is someone passing through worst situations than me. Such as the little kids that are hospitalized for a cancer. This subject always gets me sad, but in reality god has given us an opportunity of life. Unfortunately many of these young kids die at such a young age. This kids wish another opportunity in life, and yet there are those people that think that their life is the worst and is easy for them to take away the opportunity of life they have been given. It is sad, but true and many have to set foot on earth and realize that the world does not revolve after them and everything has solutions, we just have to have patience with life. Other than that, I feel sad when I talk about suicide because many times there is a question that is always asked, “Why did they do this?” unfortunately they leave this world leaving everyone that cared, behind with no answer to their question, just the sorrow of the lost one and the unpredictable situation of why something like this occurred. Although I do not believe that suicide is justified, I also feel very upset for the family, because they have no understanding and just the thought of such occasion can cause many disruptions and false guilt towards themselves or others. Other than that I would consider that many people that have thought about suicide might have an entire different view to life, but this stills keeps me very confused, because while there are people thinking about suicide there are those people that are thinking of a new way to survive.

Life is like a swing

I portrayed life as a swing. Many times there are people out there in the world who believe that nothing can ever be wrong at their sight. That can be a possibility, but we cannot live out here by deteriorating what we could have changed. At times we are overtaken by the power of certain little stigmas that astonishingly overshadow our lives. Such examples as when we feel superior to another person because of where we live or the money we have or even the car we are driving. I can remember an episode in my life when I was about 12 years old and I had a cousin who lived in very good conditions. We were the same age and he would always put me down, by telling me that I was poor and what so ever. I was young and little things like this really pushed my buttons. I always appreciated the fact that at that point of my life we were struggling to even eat anything on a single day. This situation really made me appreciate every single time my parents would go out and work for us to have something in our tummies. Now I see that same cousin of mine and I feel sad, yet appreciated at the same time. He has his own family, just like me, however, he has been struggling lately. I am not saying I am doing great, but I am surviving and I am working really hard every single working day in order to achieve. This is the reason I focused my thought on urging to the sensation that life is like a swing. When we are up high and doing great, then that feels really good. But when the swing goes down, and so those our life, then we feel really terrified.
I wrote a small poem that does not really rhyme. I focused this on the issue that a really closed friend has passed by and she decided to share the story.

How many times did I tell you crying
Don’t play with me don’t lie to me

Because your
Going to end up in the street
Wasted and lost selling your life.

I told you
Think of what you say
Don’t you see that life is like a swing

When the swing is up high
It feels really good
But once it goes down
That hurts very much

Now you see it
Today you see yourself lost
Selling your life
And here I am happy at life

Hope to god,
That you will soon dry up
And let the wind take you away

It’s not that I have hate for you
or would like to wish you your bad luck
but I would live appreciated
if at this time
you would go away from my life

Now you see it
Today you see yourself lost
Selling your life
And here I am happy at life.

Writting Topic #1 Modern Marriage

Modern marriages are very unrealistic. They seem to get more and more interesting as the years go by. Modern marriages are more of a hearts decision than that of a given choice. Through the ages, women's lives have centered about their sex role. Little girls have been told as soon as they could toddle that some day they will be brides, and a little later, mothers, and, finally, if they live, grandmothers. Every other activity--learning to spin and weave, cook and bake, dance, sing, and skate, whatever the current accomplishments of young girls are--has been directed at achieving a lifelong career as wife and mother. Where for men actual sex activity, however insistently it may intrude upon attention, is a matter of a few minutes, for women each of these few minutes is laden with commitment before and commitment afterward. Since WWII a new kind of marriage has developed in America, a marriage with greater frankness, greater articulateness, greater sharing than any we have known before in this country--an early marriage focused on having children in comradeship. Women, frightened by the possibility that a career might interfere with marriage and motherhood, have gone out in active pursuit of mates. Men, weighed down by the uncertainties of the cold war and the heavy income taxes, have relinquished the task of preparing for a secure old age for that of giving the five a.m. bottle and taking the children to the beach.
I have my own personal believe that modern marriages tend to have a more foolishness understanding underneath the actually meaning of marriage. Many years ago a marriage was plan and partners were chosen by their parents. Eventually things have changed and a few years ago, I consider that many couples would be more dedicated and incorporated with the actual meaning of marriage. Marriage was, to my believe, taken to a more responsible step. However, a few years have passed and new generations have taken the lead. The modern marriage activities seem to be more interested in the “marriage” part of life. Steps to getting married are taken at younger ages and are eventually torn apart because of the lack of responsibility. In the past years many young people who think they are in “love” take the steps necessary to get married, however they eventually realize that they were to young and did not know any better. Every time I look at simple situations like this one I realize that to some certainty, the marriages from past years have been more respectful and responsible to act upon then those of our modern years. Although I am only 20 and take a great consideration in my acts of getting married, I still believe that I was too young and irresponsible. I do not say that things are not working out, because thank god we have been very happy to this day, however, it would have been better if I would have taken a second moment to think and go out to the real world and decide on what to do, then taken the steps to have my family.

Virginia Woolf Writing topic #1 pp783

Virginia Woolf was a fantastic writer in her years alive; however, she lived many years ago when women were not viewed as any kind of material other than house wife. To be a writer in the Virginia Woolf age, it was really terrible and confusing. It was a sense of betrayal and repression and it was a form of rebellion from a women. I believe that now we live in a culture that deteriorates and argues towards women rights. And although we are not equal in so many things in the world with men, women now have the right to basically everything a guy has the right to do. Although we live in a society that now it is not out of the ordinary to see women have great pieces of literature, I believe that Woolf’s argument has not lost any relevance towards the attitudes to fight for human rights. I actually believe that Virginia Woolf is a leader to many women and an inspiration to many people in general. These attitudes towards women were very directly viewed. It was a mode of aggression and a mode of control over women. A woman would have been considering unordinary and non human. Woolf’s arguments really signify the attitudes that a woman has and still today we are seen as a minority group.
In fact I believe that the arguments that Woolf have in this essay of hers, really implores that a women should continue fighting through life. I agree that culture has changed significantly over the years, but we are a minority group still fighting out there. Woolf’s arguments, still to this day, work as a source of inspiration to many women that still fight for any simple or artistic right in the country. Even many countries out there in the world still have women very controlled and are not being given the liberty to enjoy and treasure life. Woolf also fits into the inspiration and influences for many women that one day wish they can own their own voice, and have a room of her own.
In my opinion I give so much credit to Virginia Woolf because she is a terrific literature writer and she has influenced many women in life. Virginia Woolf is like a civil right leader, her voice made so much to talk about when she was young and her voice made so much interest in her age, and still today we are being inspired by the writings she wrote many years ago. Every time I read her writings and her history I believe the inspired motion that is incarnated into every single word of the literature she has written. I view her notions as a distinct believe that if Virginia Woolf can overcome and write her literature in such a terrible time in a women lifetime, than every women can definitely work very hard to accomplish what they need to be accomplish. It is a matter of women strength and patience to overcome and to overrule the situations they are trying to overcome.
