Journal #2 LIFE AND WRITING


In the life, when some significant event happened, we generally say that we write or add history. Eventually everybody can remember or learn this occurrence. Furthermore, when really something important occurred in our life, we would tell someone or we would write down.

In this case, we can remember Edward Robb Ellis` say. '' We don't like writing diaries because we don't think our life is important enough.'' According to Ellis, if we believe our life is essential for us we have to write diary. Actually it is not only diary, can be journal or some notes. I thought that why Ellis said this. And then i remember that my father has argue with someone about some field in the village. Each side claim that they are own of this field. Later on we found some documents in the Ottoman archive. Then the problem was solved. If we look this example, we would comprehend that writing down is important for us. Another example, teachers take note and give grade to student in whole semester to evaluate student end of the semester. If they don't write down who participate to class or who did his/her homework, they cannot make final decision correctly.

In our life, all people try to take photo to keep it forever. So when people look to those pictures they can remember this time but they cant feeling. If we write down a diary for occurrence, we would know what we felt.. and we would consider that our life is important for us..

Isn't it interesting that something is valid only when it is written down? I suppose it's because it leaves an evidence that our minds can't provide.
