Last week we started a series on brainstorming for your spiritual ethical will. Today I’d like to continue the series. This blog will be on how you can use your family videos to come up with ideas for your ethical essay.
To start this brainstorming activity you will need to gather family videos. Don’t just rely on your collection, ask your relatives if they have movies you can watch. You can even make it a family event, where you all gather together, have a good meal and watch old family films. This is a great way to generate ideas and conversations when you are writing an ethical will.
The next step is to take notes about what you are watching. Jot down notes about funny moments, sad moments, memories you have about the people in the films you watched and any other thoughts that came to mind while watching the films. You can even ask people at your movie party if they have memories about the films they brought. They can provide you with background information that can help you with your ethical will.
To turn your notes into an entry you will want to link the note with lessons that you have learned about life, or about a moral that you would like your family and friends to live by after you are gone. If you are having a hard time doing this, start by simply recapping the film sequence that you made a note about. Then talk about why you selected this clip to talk about, what you were doing during this period in your life and what you have learned since. You can even talk about the mistakes that you have made.
