Culture should help people learn to celebrate breaks.

Doubt: When we see the present as a tiny spot in the long history and have the perspective that what we seem as a loss now may become a benefit finally, we need to use the power of culture to help people learn to celebrate breaks in avoid of the distress. However, the problem is how far can it go? I think that distress from breaks is not only inherent in feeling loss but also inherent in feeling the uncertainty. We are uncertain about what we are exactly connecting with, once we make changes. And I believe this kind of fearfulness is human nature, which is difficult to change.

Support:

I believe that culture should help people learn to celebrate breaks. The power of culture is strong and the fear and distress usually have bad influence on people’s lives in a way. Fear and distress will not give us courage in keep going the road we choose. What’s more, as it is stated in passage, when we put ourselves in a long history, we may learn that what seems to a be a great loss now turns out to be a good thing finally.
