Eric Morgan-- Outside expirience #3

The other day I Watched American Phsyco and my friends and I reflected apon the movie after watching it trying to find its meaning. In doing so we applied all that we know about the relation between society and its trends and how they can lead to a mundane existence. The movie was a depiction of a man with all the material possesions that one could attain still didn't have enough and could not fully appreciate life because these things did not fullfill his longings. He became a person consumed by wanting to be the best and even the smallest things like business cards drove him insane to become a physcopathic killer. He tried to fill this void by killing people and through this even he could not fill this hole. What was apparent was that he was sick of his life style and looked for meaning past what he had already attained. Religion is something that he never looked into and could possibly have been the only thing that could have filled this void. I can see this trend of trying to fill this void, in our society, by everything but God, and God is the only way to truely be fullfilled. The movie was great and i loved that through taking this class my friends and I could debate and have a great conversation about the meaning of life.
