The pain of being fired

The movie “Up in the Air” really gave me an interesting perspective of how people have to deal with getting fired. In my own life whenever say I apply to join a club I always have to face the fear of getting rejected and rejection do give my emotional pain though only for a week or so. But in this movie I got to see how getting fired which is much more striking can vastly affect people. In the film we clearly see that the actors were dedicated to their job before being fired, however, after being fired instead of having to face depression its interesting to see the idea of how getting fired gave them liberation to pursue their passion which is something that really stood out to me.

One thought on “The pain of being fired

  1. It’s quite interesting that we all believe that we are going through pain and suffering that cannot be matched. But funnily in the grand scheme of things the small issues that we come across in our lives really aren’t as world-breaking as we view them to be in the moment. We could all be less stressed if we all could take a step back and really ask it the issue really is that life-shattering.
