The English oral class totally changes my attitude toward the concept of philosophy, it also broadens my horizons. I have never thought of combining quick mental tests with the seemingly serious topic. It is a really interesting class, as I rack my brain to think of all the proper reactions to some situation. For example, would you choose to save one people and sacrifice the other five? We also discuss about the one person most people would choose to sacrifice. What if he or she is one of our family members? Those are the questions that require critical thinking. Sometimes, moral standards are much more complicated than what is thought on our textbooks.
In addition, I have a really confusing situation in my mind. My parents have a wish to be buried in the sea. However, I think by buring them in the sea or burn thier bodies, I will have no where to go if I really miss them. Often when I think of these sensible situations, my heart will be overwhelmed by a tremendous sense of grief. Therefore, even until today, I can hardly think of anything related to the death, especially people I have known. Though I know death is part of the inevitable path of life, I guess I still have a big problem dealing with it.
I agree that it is hard to make a decision when facing these circumstances. Actually, I had felt scared of death for a long time when I was young. I couldn't imagine the scene that I will never live on the earth and everybody forgets the existence of me. So I try to believe that we will go to another world after we die, and this thought relives my anxiety efficiently when it comes to death.
