Journal #3 - Losing Everything

Obviously it would be absolutely devastating to lose everything tht I own. But I think that I would be able to stay calm and collected. I have always been a pretty calm person, considerding only a few people have truly seen me mad in the first place. I think this way because losing everything you own would not be the end of the world. Even though I would be without nothing, I would still have my family and friends. Now if you would take away my fmaily and friends, then that would be a totally dfferent story. The people that make up my whole social life are the gateway to my emotions. Losing all of my family would be heartwrentching and would take a lot of will power to get over. That would be of great difficulty to get past. Refrenceing a poem just read for english class, the woman in the poem lost everything that she owned because her house had burned down. She did not think that this event was the end of the world because she believed that ths was the will of God and that He is correct with his will. She thought logically to herself that the house was God's in the first place, it was not techincally even hers. So she realzed that should not be mad because it was God's house that burned down and not her house. This kind of thinking is crucial to keeping a positive mind and good thoughts going through one's head. I definately think thatI would be calm, but I would have so many emotions going through my head that I can not for sure know if I would be mad or not. The case of losing everything you own is a good palce for people to overreact. People might let their emotions get the best of them before they even have time to think about what has even happened. If someone were to overreact to an event like this, then they would not be staying calm and would not have a clean mind. Losing everything is not the end of th world though.
