"Learn how to live and you'll know how to die; learn how to die, and you'll know how to live."- Morrie Schwartz
When I first saw this quote, I had no idea what the heck he was trying to say. I had to stop and read it again, and actually sit back and think. At first, I hadn't really noticed what he was trying to say in this message, then it hit me. He is talking about human worth and meaningful lifes. He mentioned it in his book. I remember him talking about how not everyone has meaningful lifes, all they have to life up to is working in an office and doing it all for MONEY. Morrie said that money was a poison. But isn't that what our world depends on?Morrie has a very complex meaning in this quote. I still don't fully understand and may very well never will. But what I understand as of now is that, we as humans control ourselfs. Nobody can truly tell us what to do. But if you look back at your life, was it worth it? So far, I know if I was to answer that question, I would not like the answer, and I'm only 15. I think he also means that, untill you know your life is going to end, you don't know what life is truly asking of you.I think that the public shoudl read this and take into grasp what Morrie means because I think it is a great lesson. If everyone was to take a minute and ask themselves, "If I was to die today, would my life be worth it?" How many people do you think would truthfully say yes? We do everything for moey nowadays because thats what we have come to depend on, a piece of paper. Thinner than your fingernail. Why do we need to work our butts off to earn it? Do people honestly enjoy it? I know i sure as heck wouldn't.I think is LIfes Greatest Lesson because it makes you think, not just about yourself, but the general topic of "Life". It is such a huge topic, but once you can understand that, what couldnt you understand? We all need to take a reality check and realize that we are all going to die at some point, so why don't we make our lifes worth it.
