"Love each other or perish"

My family is the most important thing in my life. I wouldn't be where I am if it weren't for my family. The quote is love each other or perish and I belive it shows because when i'm having a hard time I alwasy look to my family for help and sometimes just there love and support of me makes me feel good. For example if I don't have the best grades they ask me if I tried my hardest and when I say yes they are just proud that I tried and didn't just give up. They always mamage to put a smile on my face and they do their best everyday to make sure that I am being the best version of myself I can be.

"The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love."

My mom is always telling me and teaching me how to love others and love myself. She is there to help me when I'm sturggling to give out love and teaches me that you may not like someone but it nice to be there for them if they are going through a hard time and they just need someone to lean on there shoulder. She is alwasy telling me about how giving out love is a good thing for people because sometimes peopel don't get enough of it.

"The fact is, there is no foundation, no secure ground, upond which people may stand today if it isn't the family."

My family is the foundation of my life because they are the ones to make sure I still hold on strong so that the whole house wouldn't fall down. They are the most important thing in my life they mean so much to me and they help me out even when they don't know it. They make me feel secure and safe and that I could tell them anything.

"This is part of what a family is about, not just love, but but letting others know there's someone who is watching out for them."

One of my family members passed away. I will still very young, but I know that he is watching over our family because the small memories that I have of him were good and I remember that he was my favorite cousin. Sometimes when I'm having a hard day I remember the good things that happened in my life and I think that my cousin is just there trying to watch over me to make sure i'm being the best version of myslef I can be.

"Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitude for tenderness"

Growing up my Grandpa always told me that he's family wasn't as prilavged as me and my brother are and he told us about how he sometimes wouldn't have even money to buy bread to eat some nights. I realized how gifted my family was to make enough money to live in a nice house and go on expensive vacations, and thinking about it now I realized that I would rather have a loving family then have a lot of money because my family is everything to me and money is something that can come and go unlike family your stuck with them for the rest of your life.

"When I give my time, when I can make someone smile after they were feeling sad, it's as close to healthy as I ever feel."

My brother can be very annyoing sometimes and he can really get on my last nerve. But sometimes when he is going through a hard time I always make sure to ask him if he is ok and to be there for him and help him as much as I can. If he is crying I try and help him to stop and tell me whats wrong or to just tell mom if I can't help. Even if I had a horrible day and I make him smile and laugh when he is having a bad day that makes my day much better and I feel better that I helped him out even if he didn't really want to tell me about it.

"Are you trying to be as human as you can be?"

noyeskendall — 2023-11-28 13:51:29 UTC

My dad is the one to make sure that I am as human as I can be. He is there for me when I have my ups and my downs. He is always telling me logic on how to be kind and that you shouldn't be cocky or ungrateful for the stuff you got. How it's not about how many presents or money or stuff you have it's about making sure that you are grateful for what you have because you could have not even get gifts or money etc. You could not even have a roof over you head. Sometime it is hard to remember how lucky I am and he is someone that is there to stear me in the right diection.

What parts of your life show Morrie's wisdom?

Loving my family or parish. I know that I have to love my family or someone or I will perish. I know that I can't survive in this world without loving someone and if I can't love someone then I couldn't be the person that I am today and I wouldn't be able to want to have kids or be able to have kids if I didn't know love like I do today. Giving people my time when they are sad. It can make someones day and they could feel better and have a good rest of their day with a little talking with. Knowing that there is someone watching me. I think knowing that there could be someone watching me means me a lot to me and it makes me wonder if I'm doing everything I can to make them proud and that If they are happy with what I have accomplished so far. Learning how to give out love to people that don't get enough of it is something I try to do and I think that it reallys helps people that aren't gettting the love that they need. I think that it is something that can really help people with how they receive love and how they give love out to others.

What parts of your life would you like to improve and start living by Morrie's wisdom.

noyeskendall — 2023-12-05 01:08:43 UTC

I would like to try and start living as human as I can be. I would also want to remember that money can't fix my problems. Money is something that you can use and lose it but get it back unlike time with my family. I realized how important my family is and I want to start spending more time with them because when I am older i'm going to regert not spending so much time with them. I also realized how important letting yourself cry is. I think most people don't like when people cry so they don't accept it. But I think that we should start accepting that crying is apart of how you show emotions and that you need to cry sometimes. Crying is a good thing to do when you are upset instead of holding it in and not expressing your sadness. How important family is to keep the stablity of your house sound. I realized that if your family is going through a hard time that your foundation might not be as good and your family could start fighting more and your family could fall apart. But if you have a good relationship then your foundation will be better and your family will still be good years from now.
