It can be crazy to think about how far people can think. To think that there wouldn't be enough ventilators for old people is quite a scary thought.

At the end of the article, it is talked about that one of the special things about America is that we try to care for everybody. However, the truth of the matter is that it's hard to be able to care for everyone, especially when people are on the verge of death.

I love how the article brings up utilitarianism because this topic goes into ethics as well. When ethics is involved, things can get so confusing but interesting.

It's truly a powerful story that even when the odds were against her mother, she fought for her rights and her life to be able to continue to live.

I'm shocked that I've never even stopped to think about this perspective, but this definitely opens my eyes to see different points of views.

I love the author's first sentence because it is quite relatable. As someone who has lost two very close people in my life, grief is something that is incredibly hard to communicate.

It's also super interesting how this is regarding ethics as well. The main point in this article is to care more for the ones who are disabled and can't protect themselves. But, in the midst of that, people are going to argue that they don't offer to our society so that funds don't need to go to them which is also an interesting conversation.

It's also crazy to see that when all of this going on, that hospitals that carry people with disabilities, that they would get left behind. It wasn't even a thought before, but now that I think about, it seems to make so much sense.

I agree with what the author is saying at the beginning of the article. That not many people are caring enough about what is happening with the virus in our nation.

I think one of the main points of this article is to show that getting old is not really a problem is when people make it seem like they are worth nothing because of their age.

It's crazy to see how much research is going into this to be able to see what's really going on with the "older" people, and it's cool to see that people are trying to come up with solutions.

As a young adult, it's interesting to see how older people are affected by these ads. It may be hard to understand from this point of view, but I can see why it's frustrating.

It's also cool to see different perspectives. For instance, Hollywood. It's interesting to see that there's such a small percentage of actors that and how older people are treated differently.

It's interesting to see that the older people are looked as irrelevant and useless because personally for me, I felt like older people are ones that are filled with wisdom.

It's so interesting to see that Aegism exists because just like the article says, the group was on the other side before, and the other side will one day or another become a part of that group.

I think it doesn't make sense that we're using the hashtag #boomerremover when one day, we're going to all be the same.

It's crazy to think that even if young adults represent the largest proportion of COVID 19 carriers, old people are still going to be treated differently.

It's truly disheartening to see that older people are being counted just as statistics compared to if a younger person affected with the virus would probably cause a commotion. We can see that the older people are being more affected, but they truly aren't just stats for the world to see.

It's interesting to see how people are viewing older people in our society. I knew that most of the patients of COVID 19 were older folk, but never once did I think that it was just "their" problem.

The third equations seems to highlight to be content with what we have and not we don't have. I believe that when we are content with what we have, we begin to treasure what's around us more than the things we have in our vision.

The second point seems to highlight the relationship aspect of happiness which seems to make total sense because in the other articles, we talked about happiness stems directly from relationships.

It surprises me too that happiness is taught with classes such as business and finance. However, the more I think about, it seems to make sense.

I love how they put genetics and happiness together. I believe our character and personality can play a huge part in our happiness. Even our circumstance of where we were born and grew up plays a huge part.

Overall, I felt like the main point of this article was the show the effectiveness of true gratitude. In the little things if we are grateful, then we are able to be grateful for the big things. And in turn, our happiness can rise from it.

I love how this article is able to correlate gratitude with so many different aspects of life. Our health, brain, anxiety, etc. It does a great job of showing how powerful gratitude can be in our daily lives.

Not only that, but the other articles talked about how good health has a direct correlation to happiness as well. And if gratitude improves our heath, then it must also have a direct correlation to happiness.

I love how this article seems to be connecting all the other articles together. Gratitude improves relationships which in turn will bring a lot more happiness.

I love the way this article is describing gratitude. It's not just a simple "thank you" but it goes in depth, which seems like it can also be tied into happiness.

I think the point that people are missing a lot is that meaning and happiness must overlap. People who only live for temporary happiness are people who are simply living for the weekend. That will in the long term ruin and kill them.

I love the quote that happiness without meaning is almost like living a very selfish life. I felt like that was very true.

It's crazy how over 1,000 books were sold on happiness. It shows that so many people are pursuing happiness but don't know where to find it.

When people pursue mere happiness, which is just feeling good, people can burn out within 3-4 years. But, when we connect meaning with the happiness that we are pursuing, it can last a lifetime.

I love how the writer connects meaning with happiness. Happiness cannot be separate from meaning.

I love that he mentions the uniqueness and distinction between everyone. Something that I've been seeing is that people are so different. There are different cultures and personalities.

I love that he talks about meaning. Meaning and vision in life is so powerful. The human brain is definitely so much stronger than any mechanical machine.

Overall, I believe that the main point of this article is highlighting the importance of first finding where our happiness comes from. I believe that the writer of this post's main point was about happiness and how money could be a tool to create more happiness, but definitely not the source of happiness.

I love what they say about people needing to find what makes people happy. It's people. It's interesting to see that people without money live so happily because they have nothing else but people around them. However, rich people lose the sense of people and family because they are so focused on the money that they have, and look for momentary pleasure.

I also agree about how when you have more money, there is a greater tendency to compare with other people because the platform of money allows you to see more on the other side.

I love the points that are made in this paragraph. That if you are using your money right, money can in fact buy happiness, also depending on what happiness is to different types of people

In summary, I feel like this article is giving a general and broad overview of what mindfulness is like. To those that feel anxiety and depression, it gives a word of encouragement with the word, "try" and encourages students and teenagers to put themselves out there.

I agree with how many students immediately think of the worse situation. I often catch myself as well doing that. I always seem to give the negative side give the upper hand.

I completely agree with parents having a huge role in allowing their kids to apply mindfulness. Who the kids become often times become who the parents are whether or not they like the parent or not.

It's interesting to see how the article started with problems that rise with a lot of teenagers. I think there are a lot of recurring themes with anxiety in teenagers.

A though that occurred to me about the actions of mindfulness is that it almost seems like yoga. As if you are meditating. I wonder if mindfulness was inspired by something of religion?

I believe that the 8 points about mindfulness show us how easy it is to incorporate mindfulness into our lives. People really don't like change and enjoy the regular comforts of life. However, it's showing us that something so powerful doesn't have to be crazy.

A question that occurred to me about mindfulness is, can we always be "fully" present in whatever we are doing? Or is it trying our best to be fully present in everything that we are doing.

The main message of this article takes the experience of the author of "Smile" and encourages us to be able to step out of our own comfort zone and try things that we may have never done or are afraid to do.

It's interesting to see how she mentioned how people smile back if you smile at them first. I don't completely agree with that point because in other cultures, specifically asian heritage, it is not as common.

it's crazy to think that this person had wrote smile. I read "Smile" when I was in my early high school yeras and thought that it was such a powerful book for teenagers.

I think there is a recurring theme with people who have anxiety that they don't want to talk about it. I think more than people being insecure about what they're feeling, I'm not sure if society is giving them an open space to talk about it.

One of the main things that I caught was that a lot of these programs were programs that were outside of the university. Spigner was saying that the university was offering things that weren't necessarily being helpful. I feel like if universities financially helped and supported these programs, it could be so much useful to the wider audience.

It's crazy to think that counseling and therapy requires so much money, and to think that so many families with low incomes wouldn't have the ability to have that leisure is quite shocking.

Spigner's response to why she didn't want to go into the psychology building was definitely relatable. No one wants to look like they have a problem, and no one wants to look weak.

The main point of the article seems to show us that mental health issues are becoming more and more prevalent and showing data as well as personal stories of why we must become more aware about what's going on.
