Java Philosophy Week 1 Post 7

I thought that the Java movie was pretty intresting. The first quote by Kierkegaard in the movie was what caught my attention because it is something that a lot of times is true, people always seem to think the grass is greener on the other side.  Or, when there is a decision that is to be made, people often times take forever making a decision because they fear they might want the other option. There are so many choices and options in life that one can become paralyzed. A person wants the right choice but theres so many its hard to see what is the right choice.  That happens to a lot of people and a lot of times people just pick a career and are stuck in something they dont really want to do.

 

            Often times, people look around at their fellow peers see what everyone else is doing to see if they are doing is on target with whats considered right or normal.  People aren't born with instruction manuals on how to live life. We compare ourselves to others to use them as a reference for where we are and where we are going on the giant chessmap of life.  Jean Paul Sartre points this out with his quote, “everything has been figured out, except how to live”.  Another guy in the movie read a quote that basically stated people put their heartbeat on the clock, instead of thinking about nothing other then living life to the fullest until the end.
