“Love each other or perish.”

I agree with this quote from Morrie and feel that love is necessary when having a relationship with someone and if you can't have that the relationship will perish and be no more.

His voice dropped to a whisper. “Let it come in. We think we don't deserve love, we think if we let it in we'll become too soft. But a wise man named Levine said it right. He said, 'Love is the only rational act.'” He repeated it carefully, pausing for effect. “'Love is the only rational act.'”

I agree with Morrie in this quote and I feel that with love things will be better and it's the best thing you could do in a rational situation.

"The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”

I agree and devote myself to my community and people around me so I'm able to love my community and that gives me my own sense of meaning

"Invest in the human family. Invest in people. Build a little community of those you love and who love you.”

having a family of people you can call yours who are your community can go a long way. The people that love you will build you up and have your back.

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

I can relate myself to this quote because my family is their for me and I know their all watching out for me and want the best for me. We all have love for one another which is great but whats even better is we all have each others back.

“ I seemed to slip into a time warp when I visited Morrie, and I liked myself better when I was there.”

I feel connected to this quote because whenever I'm around certain people like my family and friends I feel a better person and can be more comfortable and myself.

“Listen. You should know something. All younger people should know something. If you're always battling against getting older, you're always going to be unhappy, because it will happen anyhow."

This is important and almost serves as a reminder not to focus on getting older too hard and live in the moment. Personally I realized I would like to stay young forever but getting older is inevitable and it's a lot more important to focus on now and be present and be happy.

my life and morries wisdom

I feel connected to Morrie and I would say some of my life reflects his wisdom he shared with Mitch in his last few months of his life. I believe that you should invest into a good community and support system because that's something that helps me through life. Having even a small group of people is great because no matter what they will always show you love and support and that is something that benefits me. Also speaking about love and forgiveness I try my best to show that to people in my life and not hold grudges over people. I also understand that nature will take things away from us in the end and its best to focus on now and be present.

parts of my life to improve with Morries wisdom.

Even though I show some of Morries wisdom within my own life there are a few things I need to work on. I feel that one big thing for me is accepting a lot of things, especially death. Accepting things like that which are inevitable I sometimes just can't accept. Another thing I would like to improve on is to stop worrying about the future and my age. Growing up and getting older is something I know I need to accept and not worry about but it's something I worry about and if i'll be able to do everything I want to before I die. However with time I feel i'll be a more accepting person and realize it's all part of life.
