Jay&Jun.K - The Last Time
MERRY CHRISTMAS
The Last Time
[Jay]
The first time I fell in love was long ago
I didn't know how to give my love at all
The next time I settled for what felt so close
But without romance, you're never gonna fall
After everything I've learned Now it's finally my turn
This is the last time I'll fall in love
[Jun.K]
The first time we walked under that starry sky,
there was a moment when everything was clear
I didn't need to ask or even wonder why,
because each question is answered when your near
And I'm wise enough to know when a miracle unfolds,
This is the last time I'll fall in love
Now don't hold back, just let me know
Could I be moving much too fast or way too slow
'Cause all of my life, I've waited for this day
To find that once in a life time, this is it,
I'll never be the same
You'll never know what it's taken me to say these words
And now that I've said them, they could never be enough
[Jay]
As far as I can see, there's only you and only me
This is the last time I'll fall in love
Last time i'll fall in love
The last time i'll fall in love

How about being under sentence of a time limited life because of a serious disease that can not be cured by modern medicine. Almost all people are angry, cry and think gloomily like a TV drama. However the leading character of this book, Morrie accepts death differently than all others do. He invites his family, friends and disciples and shows how a life is valuable and how a person can get over fear of death. How many people who accept death beautifully and live a life worthy of man then die in the world? Also how many are blessed people who have a teacher like Morrie?
Mitch Albom, Morrie's dear disciple changed his a view of life and a value as time passes. He wished living humanely like Morrie when he studied with Morrie, but the moment he graduated his university the wish had been forgotten. He was a sports columnist who always followed rich sports stars. He gave wealth and honor precedence over other things including his wife. One day, he met his respected teacher Morrie suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease. Mitch hit upon his happy university life with Morrie and decided to visit him every Tuesday because he felt comfortable. Therefore they talked about the value of life in front of death seriously and not about hard education or a tired life like Mitch's university life.
Before talking about Morrie's attitude and thoughts in front of death, I want to tell the special relationship between Morrie and Mitch. I could feel their relationship was special when they called each other coach and player. Their relationship was not only teaching and studying about what is written in text books but also treating life over death, and the unchangeable relationship for 16 years. Although Mitch's view of life and value changed. Mitch with Morrie dreamed again about what he had in university. When I watched these two people, I wonder if I have teacher like Morrie.
Morrie felt his body had a problem when he danced. Though he realized that he was suffering from Lou Gehrig's disease, that makes muscle become hard and finally dying, he was the same before he got the disease. Also he tried to look at death by his view of life and thoughts, and to tell the way of getting over the fear of death. Morrie is a person so he must have felt the fear. However he went through it naturally as he said. He considered when people move in a sand swamp, they will die with the same difficulty and fear. It is not to be nerved and to pass through. Morrie's way is just accepting and feeling the hardness and fear. Such Morrie's view of life and idea was spread by TV programs and this book all over the world. Also he let lots of people get over fear that death is always gloomy and dark. Moreover, he makes people feel the world that is boring, disgusting and even makes people not want to live now is very valuable and important.
I wish the people who hide under armor called egoism and pretend to be strong because they are too skinny under the armor to read this book and get over their fear, would become honest at least with themselves. Finally, I wish there were lots of Morrie teachers and Mitch disciples.

[Essay] Global Warming
One of Korean's pride is four seasons. Actually, almost all of Korean people thought it is natural and not pride but nowadays they missed the time. The Korean winter is not winter anymore. We can not expect a romance in snow. There are very short spring and falls. In about 10 years, we can not say Korea has four seasons. We might lose two seasons because of us. What are we doing wrong and does it make any how consequences? Also how can we correct it?
Our two seasons have disappeared by global warming. What is global warming? According the words, it means the world is getting warm and warm globally. CO, CO₂and Freon gas go up to the sky. They are too heavy to go up continuously, so when they reach a definite height they stay and cover the Earth. They destroy the ozone layer and prevent sun light coming such as hothouse. By them, the earth becomes a hothouse and we call it greenhouse. Also the greenhouse makes global warming.
The green house makes the Earth get warmer. Therefore, there are many changes and serious consequences. In Korea, the temperature of summer is increasing, and from the Temperate zone. In the world, the glacier is melting so the sea level is going up. Seriously, some islands will be sunk in 10 years. Some students say they are glad that Japan will sink some day. However, then, we will lost Jeju Island and some part of Korea, too. This is not funny or a happy happening. In addition the temperature goes up, the sea's temperature is changed. Sharks appear in front of the East Sea and beach in Korea. Also a cold current and a warm current are changed their flowing so many countries are troubled with drought, tsunami happens. The earth is saying through lots of consequences.
We really need the solutions to solve global warming. We don't use the products that exhaust Freon gas, CO and CO₂. The car is representation of what exhaust CO₂. We can not live with out it. Therefore, we should walk close distance to go to work together such as car pool, scientist develop the sustainable car and put it to practical case. Futhermore we had better not burn the trash, forest, and fossil fuel to development and find other ways. Also we plant and make forest. Because they will purify CO, CO₂and so on. And like a sustainable car, we have to development new energy instead of coal oil. Actually there are many ways, but the most important is our minds. If we do not care or think it is not serious, the situation will be worse. The destroyers are us, so the responsibility is ours.
Since the industrial revolution, succeeded, people have developed for men. They didn't think about the Earth. Human avarice makes the earth like this. From now, we must do continuable development. It means the development with nature. We are a part of nature. We have no claim to destroy it. Actually, men without nature will be ruined however the nature without men will live better than now. We can not with out them. Remember that the nature is not the present from God. It's the partner we mus live together with.
