"As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on - in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here."

"Death ends a life, not a relationship."

Adapted from "tuesdays with Morrie"


Anyone read this before? I've just finished the book, and I thought it was extremely inspiring. It made me feel that we should go out in the world and offer and give what we can to the world... to feel that we can be of use. Like, time really flies and everybody is rushing through their lives, no time to properly sit down and talk or maybe take a stroll in the garden?? We are so busy with school, don't you agree? Day by day passes, with us not really cherishing anything at all. Maybe not everyone is like that, but we tend to take things for granted, knowing that we should not, and not able to slow down in the hurry to fulfill what we determine as satisfaction in our hearts (grades for us, power and money for adults.). That is what I feel. Please share with me your views.

Just thought I'll post now cos Morrie's teachings are still in my head. I don't think it has brainwashed me though..reminds me of another thing. The society has brainwashed us by making us think "More is good". We abandon our dreams to pursue "ambitions" that are built on wealth and power. Adults do moan that money is never enough. I think we do too. More money, better grades, better results, latest fashion, stuff like that.. Most parents do think that we should find a well-paid job, but seldom do they ask about the dreams we have. If we do have, that is. I can't imagine a world without dreams, so dull, so bland, so ugly and .....

Just think of how much happiness we can share with less fortunate people just us people in the old folks' home by just playing cards with an old man or giving away some of our hugs. Which reminds me of something. I think that sometimes I share hugs without any meaning like I just hug for the sake of hugging like that.. cos it's appropriate to hug I just do it..like that's no meaning under it like "I so miss you!" or "It's good to see you!" sort of thing. Hmm..or maybe I do sometimes mean that.

Anyway, something for teachers, "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops."
