Does art reflect life or life reflect art? That is an old question. As a teacher, I have seen countless students over the years imitating characters they see in movies and on tv. As an adult, I see increasing amounts of young adults imitating the characters they see in adult shows, be it Desperate Housewives or Grey's Anatomy, etc. Sometimes, I think the answer to this question is a no brainer. Sometimes I think humans are no brainers!
But then there is Remembrance Day. I am reminded of all those brave young men and women who volunteered to go and fight to liberate those countries in Europe during WWI, WWII, Korea, and then I think about our service people today in Afghanistan. They are the real heroes. They understand sacrifice. Perhaps life should imitate life.
