Reflective Essay: Spring Summer Fall Winter and Spring

  I am going to compare my own experiment with the movie, Spring Summer Fall Winter, and Spring.

     The old monk and young monk is living in the temple which is in the middle of the mountain lake. Two monks go out of the temple when they are going to gain some herb or other things by the boat. One day, the old monk saw that the young monk is winding up the fish, toad, and snake with the string and the end of the string, he winded up the small rock. Because of the rock, fish, toad, and snake couldn't move well. Then the old monk decided to do same thing to the yong monk. He first had a big rock with the size of his head and wind up it in the end of the rope. Then he winded up the young monk while the yong monk was sleeping. When the young monk woke up, he regret about the situation what he did and try to let them out from the rope. But the snake and fish were dead.

    The young monk first had a fun time while he was tormenting fish, toad, and snake. However, he regret about his last action by the old monk's teaching. As this fable, parents also teach their children as the old monk teach the young monk. I also taught by my parent about the the situation that I did wrong about. But I am on a special case. Even thought they scream and scold at me, I actually didn't feel that I am wrong and I didn't regret about my action. I once make other friend hurt in the feeling (not with the physical as this young monk). I once said that 'I hate you!' and don't play with her. I don't know the reason why I felt that I hate her, as the young monk's feeling that he didn't know why he felt fun while he was harassing the fish, toad, and snake. However, I got a huge problem when I go up to fifth grade. Friends started to avoid and stop talking or playing with me. After this, I started to cry after I came to home when my mom came back from her business. Then she told me about what is wrong. I behave badly to that friend and it is just coming back to me as a karma. While I am still crying, I suddenly regret about my action. 'Why did I do that? I could just be kind to her!' After a discussion with my mom, I try to step toward to them with different mind with before. I try to be nice to my friends and not to give a physical feeling attack.

    Even though my experiences were little different with the part that the parents or older people giving advice. In the video, the old monk do the same thing and give a punishment. However, my mom just help me to solve my problem by myself, not giving any punishment. I think that old monk's way was little crucial to the young monk. Because the young monk is childish and young, he didn't know a lot including the importance of the other animals' lives. Two monks just could solve their problem with a discussion. However, I think the way of the old monk give a great affect to the young monk's mind, so this wasn't so bad idea at all. I prefer the way of the old monk more.
