1. Death
2. How do you respond when you know you are going to die?
3. Can you still maintain a positive outlook on life when you know it's going to end?
4. Relationships
I can only imagine being told that very soon I am going to die, and there was absolutely nothing I could do to prevent it. This is exactly what Morrie was forced to go through. Now, this situation raises an important question, what are you going to do with your life? Are you going to react negatively and be depressed, or, not let it affect you and take over the world. Morrie, being the great man that he was, chose the later of the two.
"I know you think this is just about dying," he said, "but it's like I keep telling you. When you learn how to die, you learn how to live." - pg. 104
It was such passages and quotes like this that were a perfect testimony to the great man that Morrie had become. His approach toward dying was one that was unprecedented and one that many people, sadly, cannot bring themselves to use. I thought this quote from Morrie was an exact answer to how people should approach death, and an easy way to stay positive, even if you know you're going to die.
