Scared of Death?
Death can be a touchy subject to some people. When people think about death, they tend to look at the negative side of it; like not being able to see your family, not being able to do what you love ( for morrie it was dancing ) or eating your favorite food exc. People then overlook the positive side of it like finally being able to be at peace with yourself for a REALY long time. One of morries quotes was about fearing to age or dieing. He said that if you fear of ageing or deing it reflects life that hasent found meaning. I like this quote alot because it tells you to live your life to the fullest and have no regreats. If you live your life to the fullest with no regreats what else is there to do? Yes, everyone would like to live forever but they have to learn that death is the begining of a new life.

I completely agree, everyone should be living their life to their fullest potential and with no regrets and then that is when they would have a full and complete life.
ReplyDeleteyou have to be ready to die before you are ready to live
ReplyDeleteI agree that we must live our lives to the fullest and we need to enjoy every moment that we have on earth. You can't always look back and wish something differently occurred.
ReplyDeletePat - be careful, the word is "dying". The negative side of death comes from our society that is so individualistic (and materialistic) so when an individual dies, we tend to see it as a loss, because that person is gone. But other societies think of themselves as members of a family, a tribe, a nation and so when one person dies, the others still feel a part of the family, tribe and nation so it is less of a loss.
