Blog post Final

 Three questions are posed to Myself, Susan Neiman, John Kagg and Jesus Christ the first two being "what does it mean to grow up?" and "why should we." also "what makes life worth living"


Neiman: Growing up means learning to accept the way the world is, while not giving up hope that you can change it.

Kagg: I agree Susan we must not allow ourselves to fall victim to the idea that we can do nothing in this world. also considering the risks you may encounter trying to change it.

 Christ: And there will be many risks John. "Brothers will turn against their own brothers and give them to be killed. Fathers will turn against their own children and give them to be killed. Children will fight against their own parents and will send their parents to be killed. All people will hate you because you follow me. But the person that continues strong until the end will be saved."

Robinson: I thinks growing up means recognizing and taking care of your 3 states. your mental state, your physical state, and your spiritual state. We grow up simply because we have to, staying infantile will ruin your life and likely others. everyone is responsible and accountable for their actions.


Nieman: We should grow up so we can find enjoyment and fulfillment in things that are productive and useful.

Kagg: We need to grow up to survive in the world and have the resources to help others who need it. If more people become dependent however there will be no one in the next generation self sufficient.

Robinson: I think being alive on earth makes it wort living worth living. Even with the evil and the seeming unfairness the beauty of the earth and the love of others makes life worth it. 

Neiman: Finding a reason to live is part of being an adult. many people find this in religion, others in family or community. 

Kagg: Those with a sick soul think life is meaningless, however this is not the case. the answer is a healthy mind. one that is hopeful and open.

Christ: "19 This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live 20 and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."

Robinson: So grow up and choose your path, love your neighbor as you love yourself. Listen to the voice of God, for it will never lead you to the wrong place. Find the reason you live, explore the world, make connections. In the end you ultimately decide your path. Make sure it is the right one.

    Life is worth living for everyone, don't you think, not because of any promise of salvation but in its own terms? It's a gift full of possibility and earthly promise.
