Morrie Aphorism Blog #4

When you are utterly frustrated or angry, express these feelings you don't have to be nice all the time -- just most of the time. 

There are a lot of people in this world that have emotional problems because they don't express their anger. Sometimes they feel like no one sees them. They feel unheard. And this things can cause them to do weird things. In my world, bottling up emotions is a terrible thing. Even I do it myself. I always try not to take out my anger at anybody so I really don't know what to do with my frustration. In the past, bottling up my anger only had some really harmful results. Nowadays when I am angry, bored, irritated or sad, I would watch CSIs, or go online and looked at pictures of my favorite idols. This way, I forget what I was upset about and I try to move on.

Morrie's Aphorism #3

"Don't assume that its too late to be involved in something."
I think that Morrie means that we should still do something when we thought that it was  too late.

Learn to forgive yourself and forgive others.

I think that forgiving yourself is a very important thing in life. My opinion is that you have to forgive yourself before you can really forgive others. If you don't forgive others, I think that you will want to have revenge or hatred on that person. I think that Morrie is really wise.

A day without electricity

If we had to go through a day without electricity, I think that it would be a torture for everyone because we all rely on electricity. We would be incredibly hot since it was the summer, we wouldn't have television, computer, the air-conditioner. We would be bored too because we do not have the entertainment we normally would have with electricity. We would have to walk, and cycle to where we work. We wouldn't have lights in the night.

Morries Aphorism Blog

"Get as much help as you can when you need it."
This aphorism is very wise. I have never been that kind of girl that depended on others. In the past, I was always afraid to bother other people so I never ask for favors. When I needed help, it really depends on what it is, if it is small things, then my friends will help me. But, if it was really bothersome, I do it myself. Sometimes, I still am like that.
