insight
in most cases we look at illness as a bad thing and no one wants to go through it. it is a stressful part of anyone lives either being ill or knowing somebody in that situation, it is painful. people most of the time look at religion at the time of need because religion gives a picture of the after life so maybe that's why people look at religion because it sort of tells them whats going to happen to you after you die,  and as people we always want to look for the answer for every question. if there wasn't religion what would people do would try to figure out how to cheat death, i guess there are examples of cheating death in our lives now, like medicine is a way to cheat death because all you need is a pill to sure certain things, but our bodies are meant to get old. we should live our lives not caring about what might happen and think about what you can do now to make your life more for filling.


precishi my morrie i don't want you to worry about me because i lived my life and i know that people care about me. i don't want to think about regret because that's not something that's important because you cant fix the past. i want people to know that there is more to life then just sitting in front of a t.v screen, you need to live life and grasp each moment.

1-the doctor gave them some information on ALS, little pamphlets, as if they were opening a bank account. outside, the sun was shining and people were going about their business pg.8

most people wonder what happens when they are told that they have terminal illness and how people feel.

2-you know, mitch, now that im dying, ive become much more interesting to people pg.32

i find it said sometimes when people die that's the only time they want to speak to that person that is sick

3-death and sickness and getting fat and going bald happened. i traded lots of dreams for a bigger check pg.33

morrie is a really strong person and it seems like he lived a for filled life because hes not talking about regret hes talking about the bigger picture. hes just thinking about how important life is on page34 is a perfect example of what Morrie thinks, Morrie was talking about his insight about dying."accept the past as past, without denying it or disregarding it". i agree with this quote because there's no way you can change the past we have to acknowledge what we did and try to move one and learn each day and live life.

I'm really comfortable about talking about death because my family mad everything seem like everything happens for a reason, and when its your time to go its your time to go. i think Beth really helped out her husband the best way she could by making his final moments memorable. when one of my moms friends died my mother was really sad for the first time i seen my mom really depressed, but i told her hes always going to be there for us because he influenced us each in a different way and he will always be in our memories and we should be grateful that we got to know him as a human being. when i first saw him in the hospital i started to cry there was nothing else in my thoughts but me thinking its not true. but i stopped crying when he tried to get up from his bed and he talked about not worrying about whats going to happen and we should just continue our lives and treat me mother right and told my mother stop being so hard head, after all that he has been through he still was humble and wanted everyone to smile.
