Margins

在这篇文章中“赞美的利润，”伊恩坎贝尔状态有边缘的地方和活动的重要性。这些利润在人们的生活中扮演着重要的角色，因为人们可以在这些地方自由地生活。根据费沙，人在边缘的时候，尤其是需要“挤”在这个经济世界。此外，边缘地区的地方，我们可以单独停留，所以我们可以“尝试奇怪的想法”，当我们觉得害怕在别人面前展示这些想法。有利于人们展示他们的创造力。我同意坎贝尔意见从事边缘的地方和活动因为有我们自己的空间和时间，我们可以逃避外面的世界。

In the essay “In Praise of Margins,” Ian Fraizer states the importance of having marginal places and activities. Those margins play a significant role in people’s lives because people can be themselves and be free at those places. According to Fraizer, people are in need of margins especially when we get “jammed up” in this economic world. In addition, marginal places are somewhere that we can stay alone, so we can “try out odd ideas” when we feel afraid of showing those ideas in front of others. It is beneficial for people to show their creativity. I agree with Fraizer’s opinions of engaging in marginal places and activities because those are our own spaces and time by which we can escape from the outside world. Marginal behaviors are valuable, and also can help people get away from stress and discover their own enjoyment. 

Doing some activities to discover our enjoyment at our marginal place is the best way to relieve my feelings. In order to release myself, I sometimes choose to go climbing mountains with my best friend. I remembered once when I did not do well on my Maths final exam and I failed the course, I lost my wheels of progress and I was afraid to tell my parents  because I already felt disappointed in myself and I  did not want to give them more worry. Next day morning, I went to climb a hill that is near my school with my friend. While we were climbing, I told all of my troubles to my friend. Also, when I was taking exercise, the sweat ran down like raindrops. I felt like all my pressure and sadness were coming out. Tiring as it was, I still could feel that I got released when I wiped my sweat off. After a struggle, finally I climbed to the top of the hill breathlessly. When standing on the top, I looked  down into the valley where the stones were situated. Only the person who stands on the top of the hill would enjoy beautiful scenery. I looked down and shouted: “ I can do it better next time! Trust me!” At that moment, I began to feel quite delighted and to believe in myself again because I did not have to climb to the top of the hill , but I made it. We started to sing songs as loudly as we can when we were looking at the whole world. That seemed so odd and awkward but we did not need to be afraid because this was our marginal place and we enjoyed that moment. This marginal place becomes my secure place to release. I like the moment when I can get what I want after I put a lot of effort in it. Climbing mountains, shouting and singing when we reach the top become my marginal activities when I meet the dissatisfaction of my life. Nevertheless, if I feel grieved, I choose another place to release, namely,  the beach. 

Beach is also a margin that just belongs to myself. There is nothing to do over there. The reason why I go to seaside is that it is a place to let me sit  and think about my life. That seems so meaningless and boring. So many people say that instead of wasting time to sit there and to think of some boring things, it is better to take actions and change current situations. However, I think people all need time to collect their messy thoughts before they take the next step and move forward. For instance, about half a year ago, I broke up with my boyfriend. I could not get used to live without him; after all I had been in relationship with him for three years. At that time I was going to collapse and I felt sore at heart. I wanted to cry but I did not want her to know that. Therefore, I put down all the things that I needed to do, and decided to take a short trip to the beach alone. After arriving  the beach, I did not do anything. I just sat on the beach, listening to the sea sound and crying. After crying for a while, I felt much better than before. Looking at the vast sea, I felt like I was just like a mite on an elephant. I understood that there was no difficulties that cannot be overcame;also, there was no big deal and I could get used to it. Beach is my own little world where I can show any emotions of mine. Some of the emotions that are hard to admit in front of others especially friends and family, but I still can be myself because no one knows me. Margins are valuable for people in that they can let them do things that they actually want, and do not need to pretend anything. Therefore, we need margins.

Margin is an important part of people’s lives. To have your own free time and do what you want to do at your free time are also significant. For example, according to Bhagwad Jal. Park, he is asked to work on the day he is off, however, he refuses it even if he knows that the meeting is about some important issues. In his mind, his free time and home life are more important than the meeting. Park would rather waste his time, but he is not willing to work. People are in need of margins and our own time. Working seems to be very important, but we should not take our all time and pay all attention to working. Margins and free times are also worthy enjoying. 

In conclusion, I believe each person has their own sides that do not want to show or is hard to admit in front of others. That’s why we all want to have our own rooms after we grow up, which is why we do not want to share everything with others, and  why we need margins and private space.
