HW 23 - Illness & Dying Book, Part 2

The book I am reading is " Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom. Publisher is by DOUBLEDAY. Published in 1997

In the second 1/3 of the book the main character is talking about how his union is going on strike. He also talked about how he was going to be able to do what he like he do and how is he going to live with out a job. He also talked about how he goes to see his teacther more. And how they talk more about death. They talk about what they are scared of and what is going on with their life.

1. "Ask me anything,"Morrie always said. So I wrote this list:
Death
Fear
Aging
Greed
Marriage
Family
Socitey
Forgiveness
A meaningful life(page, 66)

2."A teacher affects eternity;he can never tell where his influence stops."-Herby Adams(page, 79)

3."Yes. But there's abetter approach. To know you're going to die, and to be prepared for it at any time. That's better. That way you can actually be more involved in you life while your're living."(page, 81)

4."I don't want to leave the world in the stateof fright. I want to know what's happening, accpet it, get to a peaceful place, and let go. Do you understand?"(page, 107)

My thoughts are still the same as before. I still feel that the more ok with death you are the longer you will live. And that if you live life as if nothing is wrong then you will be able to live the life you want to live. But at the same time I find myself not really thinking about death these days. I only think about it in class and since we have not been talking about I have not really thought about it so maybe my thought aren't the same because I have not heard and other out looks on it. So I really can't say if my thoughts have change.
