Essay On Stop Being Clueless About Life?

Stop being clueless about life!

“I like me,” said by Leo Buscaglia during one of his speeches. He was a professor at the University of Southern California, and one day learned about death by a fellow student. This led him to question why human beings learn different things essential for their future, but they do not learn about the meaning of life. Following this question, Buscaglia further goes to define what it takes to become a fully functioning human being. He said humans need to value and love themselves, to believe in death, to openly express themselves, to believe that no one is above or below to each other, to do things now instead of later, and to live life to its fullest (YouTube, “The art of being fully human”). Of course, there

First, Elizabeth Willard, mother of George Willard, is the most impartially functioning human being. She lived through agony and sadness. She made a mistake marrying Tom Willard. He thought of her as being worthless and also an annoying wife (Anderson 13). Adding that she did not have a great open communication with her son. It was a common thing for them to sit together awkwardly for a period of time and to not say a word to each other (Anderson 14). She was also full of desires, “…like most young girls, she thought marriage would change the face of life” (Anderson 113). All her problems started because of her lack of realizing life and her stubbornness of insisting for marriage while not thinking about the importance of it. She even goes as far as praying to god saying she did not want George to be a complete worthless human being like her and also be a successful person like his father (Anderson 14). Second, Doctor Reefy is a man who cannot communicate well with other people. He still put himself through isolation from everyone in Winesburg after the passing of his wife. He often wrote on scrap pieces of papers that contained “written thoughts, ends of thoughts, beginnings of thoughts” (Anderson 11). He lived a quiet and peaceful life, yet he did not fully enjoy it as he should have. His lack of expression through words and not being able to live life with happiness made him impartial. Lastly, Doctor

Others characters are also impartial human beings who are not as worse compared to others. First, Wing Biddlebaum who is a very passionate speaker and known for his great hands. However, he is unable control his hands and they get onto inappropriate places. He lived in Winesburg to escape a life that haunts him back from where he came from. His only friend in Winesburg is George Willard, who he gave a passionate speech one afternoon. He said to him, “You have the inclination to be alone and to dream and you are afraid of dreams. You want to be like others… you try to imitate them” (Anderson 7). He wants George to be unique from others and live the way he wants. He does not want him to be like others in town who does not dream. Back in Biddlebaum’s town, he is known to be a school teacher and Adolph Myers was his real name. He was a school teacher who was very passionate about his teachings. Although, he often touched students which led to his demise. According to Anderson, “[Biddlebaum] raised the hands to caress the boy” (8). These hands touched students’ shoulders during lectures. Biddlebaum is a man who realized dreams and wants others betterment, but his hands are what made him partially functional human being. He disregarded the students’ feelings and was devoured by his desire to teach. Lastly, there is Tom Foster who is known to appreciate little things.
