When first going into this project, we had a map and a plan for what we wanted...a Journey to the Grave and our main feature being on the details of a funeral home. I wanted to go inside and find out what it was really like for the people working in there. I had stereotypical views at first but all that was put to rest. When we didn't get the access like we were supposed to our project took a turn. Now turning it into the cycle of life viewing different interpretations on life and life after death. The turning point in our project was expected because I mean it is a documentary.
Personally, this physical Life is beautiful to me, I think people NEED to take time to seize the day but not get caught up in spontaneity. Life needs structure in order to achieve your dreams and have purpose and that is where hard work comes into play. Everyone should also take time to go for what they love, even if they fail. I believe we are all working for a higher purpose in life so make the best of it. I have my religious views also when it comes to life and life after death but I am more in touch with my spiritual side than religious side. I believe with this entire universe and everything that's in it there just HAS to be a higher being and God/Jesus is the person I believe is that higher being. I believe the heaven we're going to is the one God made for us and get a lot of my views from the Bible. Life after death is just that...LIFE. We're living now in a physical presence but we don't know what living is until we die because that's forever.
This project has opened my mind a bit more and made me think about what's ahead and death itself. When it comes to death, I believe what I've been taught since I can remember. I believe in preparing yourself for the afterlife...that means living your life according to how God wants you to. Everyone has a path and they may swerve off plenty of times but at the end of the day God knows where your heart is and will help you as much as he can to get on that path that he set out for you. When it's my time to go I have faith that I'll be on that path. It's your choice if you want to continue on that path or veer off completely. God gave us free will...take advantage of it, that can be interpreted positively or negatively...your choice.
Coming towards the end of this project leaves a bittersweet taste in my mouth. All these thoughts on life and death drive me crazy because there's so many unanswered questions and so many different views. But hey, we aren't meant to know everything. I guess I'll find out on the other side...see you there?
