“What if today were my last day on earth?” ~Morrie
This simple quote by Morrie speaks so loudly. What if today was your last day on earth? This is really something to think about. Nothing says live everyday to the fullest better than this. We never know when our last day will be, it is best to live ever day as if it were your last. Take your days one at a time. Most people look at life in years, giant increments of time. I believe if you look at life by each day, you will appreciate so much more. Society is fast moving and always planning way ahead. One day time is going to catch up to all of us. I am going to try to live life more slowly so that I can appreciate the moments for how beautiful they are. We should all try living in the moment.
“Love wins. Love always wins.” ~Morrie
As Morrie discusses the tension between opposites he mentions that love always wins. He can mean many things by this but, I believe it means love is a fight and in the end the fight is worth it. The tension between opposites is described as life being a series of pulls back and forth. Like the pull of a rubber band, love’s greatest tension lies in the middle. People must make compromises for each other. Love may not be something a person wants but love is something that is un-fightable. Your mind may tell you love is not the right thing, but your heart may say it is. Your emotions can fight with each other, creating tension between right and wrong which are two opposites. Once love comes about it doesn’t leave, therefore it always wins, the heart should win. Your heart has more feelings than your mind, I need to start thinking with my heart a little bit more. We all get confused between right and wrong more than once in a lifetime.
“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning in your life is to devote
