Morrie Monologue

“Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do”(18). Despite being diagnosed with a terminal illness, Morrie is determined to live out his life with his acceptance of death and to live each day to his full potential.

Some of us come to term with the reality that everything in life is temporary, and that one day we will all die. But sometimes people face hard time facing the reality of death because is never easy to accept not breathing one day. Some people fear for a good reason because once someone dies there is no coming back and not knowing what happens in the afterlife makes dying even more painful. The sad thing about dying is that one never knows when they will die, which is why someone people hate thinking about dying because it makes them overthink when they will die. Everyone face the reality of death differently

Morrie Schwartz was determined to finish the end of the rollercoaster we call life without slowing down. Throughout the whole story we see Morrie living life as if his body is not lying on a deathbed. Morrie could have days left or years left and he’d still live life as if it was the most amazing thing anyone has ever given him. He knew he would die, though he set a daily limit of self pity. He was always the trying his best to make others laugh even when it was hard for him to do the same. He wanted to make sure everyone was on the edge of their seats throughout his last months. “For all that was happening to him, his voice was strong and inviting, and his mind was vibrating with a million thoughts. He was intent on proving that the word "dying" was not synonymous with "useless."

One of the themes discussed in Tuesdays with Morrie that was most meaningful to me was their focus on not feeling sorry for yourself. In the beginning chapters Mitch ask Morrie if he feels sorry for himself on second Tuesday they talked about feeling sorry for themselves. Morrie tells Mitch that in the mornings he does a little, but then after he has a little “pity party” he stops. Mitch and the other students begin to learn that the professor wanted to teach them the meaning of death - “Morrie’s definition”. Morrie's definition was “If you are dying you are useless, if you make a difference while dying you will succeed”.

In our hearts, we know death is a part of life. We don't all want to face it

Sogyal Rinpoche stated “When you start preparing for death you soon realize that you must look into your life now...and come to face the truth of yourself. Death is like a mirror in which the true meaning of life is reflected.” Death is imminent. Many people today fear death for various reasons. Some people are able to accept it, where others deny its existence. Some people spend their lives working towards the coming of their death, and their life thereafter, where others spend there lives doing everything they possibly can to make the most of their time on earth.

As people go through life they become more aware that death is inevitable. They either live their lives scared of death or are open to embracing the inevitability of it. I try to live my life to the fullest not worrying about death, but sometimes that’s hard to do because I don’t know what happens after death. The books Tuesday’s with Morrie and The Epic of Gilgamesh have very unique protagonists that look at death in different ways. They are different because Morrie in Tuesdays with Morrie embraces dying and Gilgamesh in The Epic of Gilgamesh does everything in his power to find a way to live forever, which shows fear.

“When you learn how to die, you learn how to live”(Albom 104).

It is inevitable that we will all die it is a fact that everyone must come to terms with. There comes a time in everyone’s life that they must face death; a friend’s tragic accident, a family member’s passing or their own battles with diseases. When faced with the idea of death people will act in different ways some may find it therapeutic to apologize for the negative they have done, some may want to spend time with loved ones to ease the future pain, and others may decide that their life was not what they believed. The story Death Constant Beyond Love tells us about a man named Senator Sanchez who is living a happy life with his wife and five kids. That is until he is told by doctors that he only has a short time to live. Death is

‘The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts.’ The American poet Oliver Wendell Holmes once said. Tuesdays with Morrie is exactly the book that gets me through life and what it suggests always echoes in my mind, reminding me of every word I said and affecting every decision I make.

Morrie’s life experiences gave him a more positive outlook towards the issue of death, he didn’t see it as a horrible thing instead he say it as an adventure that he’ll gain from it taught him that death was inevitable and that we shouldn’t be scared of it.

In his deathbed instead of crying about how unfair life is Morrie just simply accepted it through a method he called “acceptance through detachment”. This method let him accept everything that was happening to him, instead of freaking out and hating everyone and everything for his predicament he accepted what was occurring and he experienced every

In the book, Tuesdays with Morrie, Morrie approaches death in a very unique way and in a way that many people do not. Morrie takes advantage of the time that he has left by giving Mitch the learning experience of a lifetime. By doing so, Morrie detaches himself from the experience of his own death.

On the fourth Tuesday Morrie discussed the most important lesson which is death. When Mitch ask Morrie can anyone prepare for death he respond to him ¨When you learn how to die, you learn how to live"(82).He saying to Mitch you must know how to die before you know how to live your life.It mean that we have to accept the possibility that we might die anysecond and we should appreciate everything in our life.This qoutes is very meaningful and improtant to me because if every single moring we wakeup we ask our selves is today the last day I’m going to wakeup than the rest of our life well be different. We will live for today, we won't say i'm going do this tomorrow and we won't fight or be mean to someone because we know to tomorrow we might not see them .Morrie want us to know and realize that death does not have ages to it, despite if you are a little kid or an old man death seek everyone.And it impact our live because we must understand the meaning of live and that no one know when they going to die so we must live each day as if was the
