“Everyone knows they are going to die, but nobody believes it. If we did, we would do things differently.”
“The truth is, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.”
“Aging is not just decaying, you know. It’s growth.”
In this section, Morrie shares with us a different way to look at ‘death’ and ‘ageing’. Everyone is terrified of death and dislike the idea of being ‘old’. We know it’s inevitable - the only known outcome. Yet most of our lives, we neglect its possibility. We fail to focus on what truly matters and seek the unnecessary.
Living in fear of death is not the answer; the answer is living life to the fullest and accepting that it shall end one day.
