The Samuel Pepys diary video in week three provided a better understanding as to why a journal or a diary is important. Samuel Pepys kept a diary of major life changing events that affected him and others while living in England. So why would I want to keep a diary? Why would I want to write down what happens daily? Well, after watching Samuel Pepys video it is important for me to keep my own diary. I can not control much, except for me and only me. I can not control time; I can not control the days. So since I can not control either of those I need to keep track of my days and what happens. A dairy is not just a journal of how I feel or what happened, but can be a gift that I can give to my own children. So again, I ask myself why a diary? It is not about me or about keeping track of my own doing but about what I can pass along to other generations in my own family and my children of what I experienced and the type of life I lived so that they can see the difference in how time has changed each individuals lifestyle, morals and ethics to that point.
