Life reflecting art

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.
