Morrie's Wisdom

Choose a quote that speaks to you from what we have read so far.

Write the quote at the top of your response to this post and then write your reaction to that quote -or- find someone who wrote about the same quote as you and respond to that person's post.

Example:
"The culture we live in does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn' t work, don't buy it" (Albom, 42).

In the U.S. today, if a person does not live up to the values promoted by the media (being beautiful, thin, rich, athletic...etc) they feel inadequate, or feel that they don' t measure up. I like this quote because Morrie tells us to ignore the culture and create our own "subculture" by filling our lives with more meaningful pursuits. -Ms. S.

The quote that i liked the most in tuesdays with morrie is "When your in bed your dead." I think it means get out of the bed and do things you can do before you can't do them anymore. Anna Ratajczak

"Do I wither up and disappear or do I make the best of my time left?"
We think that this means that life should be spent to the fullest no matter how much time is left.

"Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn."

We think the quote means that when you go to sleep at night your eyes are closed and its like your dead. Then when you wake up in the morning you feel like a new person and it is a new day.

Steven Mandt----> "Everyone knows they are going to die but no one believes it." I chose this quote because it applies to everything living. Death is part of life. Without death the balance would be off and Overpopulation would be a bad problem.

"you don't know how to live, unless you know how to die."

we think this quote true. You must know that you need to live life to its fullest, and not let anyone enforce your decisions for you. Life your life for yourself, because its your future you are affecting.

We think this quote means that if you love something or somebody it's the strongest feeling in the world. It can out last and out play any compent in the game. We think Morrie is a very loving wise person and he is in love with life and we should all learn from his life lessons.

With LOVE

"...detatchment doesn't mean you don't let the experience penetrate you. On the contrary, you let it penetrate you fully. That's how you are able to leave it."

To us, this means that when something happens to you and you try to run from it. You think you are getting away from it by running when in reality, it's got in your head fully by making you mad.

"All right, it's just fear, I don't have to let it control me, I see it for what it is."

Eric Held, and Alysia Dunlap.

This is eric held, I think this tells us that we should not let fear dominate our lives.
I LOVE D+D Nyaaa :D

Alysia Dunlap. I think this quote is telling us fear isn't something we really have to be afraid of. We have to face our fears, and everything that comes with them. Fear is just some hidden thing with an unknown meaning.We have to face them head on and overcome them. Accept hem for what they are.

"The fact is, that there is no foundation...upon which people may stand today if it isnt the family."

Bob and I both think that the quote means that family is important. Andrew believes that family is important because they will love you unconditionally. Bob thinks family is important because they support you no matter what.

"Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn."

I picked this qoute because when I go to sleep, I'm a deep sleeper and nothing can wake me up. But when its morning, I fell refreashed and get ready to face the day.

"Each night, when I go to sleep, I die. And the next morning, when I wake up, I am reborn."

we think this quote means when you're asleep it's like far and closed from the world and when you're awake you're connected to the world.

"All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on- in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here."

I really like this quote and I agree with Morrie. After you die, the memories and the love you have created stay with the people who love you. They don't die and become forgotten when you die. They live on for everyone to remember you by.

"Without love, we are birds with broken wings."

I really like this quote. It reminds me of how we take our families and friends for granted. Without them, we would struggle through life. The people who love you will always love you no matter what happens.

"Death ends a life, not a relationship"

I agree with Morrie that when you die only the human form of the person is gone but your thoughts and memories of that person will still live. They will live in anyone who the person made an impact on. If you had great times with the person then that is what you will remember of that person.
