The Undertaker’s Cha

The book "The Undertaker’s Chat" published by Mark Twain used the little chat between a undertaker and "I" to describe a example of the corpses and by praising the character of the corpse, "I" thought  "I" had got a lesson. With the story, Mark Twain was also giving us the lesson which teaches us which attitude we should take to face our own lives.

The book impressed me on the undertaker’s optimism.It is inevitable for us to confront with different setbacks,it may be your terrible grades,your poor presentation or your absurd performance before the person you love.However,all these will be disappear and take place by great experience if you take a optimistic attitude and deal with them with patience.The attitude of the undertaker is worth learning.

The second thing I learn form this book is the undertaker’ attitude towards the dead.The end of the life is death,though it is sad for us to think of the death of our beloved one,we do not have the ability to get anyone rid of it.How to recover from the death of them becomes important.We can have a gaze at how the undertaker face to it ,receiving it and remember the good deed of the dead person.

  This book has aroused me to think of something more . In our daily life ,many profession ,like the doctor, psychological consultant and so on ,have to face to some tragedies,which may make them sad and disappointed towards life.The best attitude towards the death may be optimistic but not indifferent.Can you imagine that a doctor do not feel sorry for a patient who failed to survived a disease ? A doctor display a indifferent attitude towards patients,how can he take seriously of patients’ life? However,when we consider this question in other way ,if a doctor feel sorry for whoever dies with disease and becomes depressed,how can he successes to live a happy life? So do the undertaker.

   So, what I want to say is that the healthy mind of the undertaker not only comes from the undertaker himself,but also developed by the other people’s opinions on the undertaker.What can we do to avoid this embarrassment,as a common people.In my opinion, the best way to deal with this embarrassment is to understand what embarrassment they are confronting.And then ,do not put the virtue on their shoulders ,which indeed limit them to express their feeling.Not only the dead person should be respected,but also the undertaker deserves our care,like Mark Twain.
