BSN III C; Philo 102 November 28, 2013 Tuesdays with Morrie We individuals have our own story to foretell about our regrets, challenges, fear, love and death that occur in our life. Our journey is set from the day that we are born to the day that death comes into our life. In the journey that we made had we ever had any regrets so far? Did we ever live our life to the fullest? Are we happy? Do we feel loved? On the other hand, are we afraid to die? Tuesdays with Morrie teaches us a valuable lesson in life, which we should learn to forgive everyone. It emphasizes the meaning of love, fear, and death. Love is the sweetest thing or feeling that happens once in our life. The feeling that the ones love us we love. Love in many different forms it can be by saying the one you love that loved them or by expressing it towards the person you loved. In the movie, Morrie said that Michael is scared about love this means that he has the fear of rejected by the ones he loved the most. Even Morrie has his fears about love; he feared that he will not be loved with his own family. What happen to Morries life is that there is two opposite things that pulls him one is the bitter thing he is not shown what is love by his own father and the sweetest thing that his mother showed loved that he always wanted for since the day that his mother died. Even I sometime experiences that someday I will be rejected by the ones I loved, because it is inevitable but I have a sudden realization that I should not fear of being rejected, fear will not lead us to be happy. In the movie, Morrie is suffering from a disease of ALS he is not scared of what his happening to his life that he is slowly dying him like a candle. He faces his problem, by being optimistic when no one wants to talk about his death he always say that why people are ignoring the truth. We have our own fear

of our own life fear that we cannot face each problems that comes into our life, in Morries childhood days his mother has a disease he ignored what is happening to his mother by simply just closing his ears whenever he is called by his mother, He only runs away from his fears. Every one of us has our own fears; it may be form snakes or any other things. Fear in life is something that you should not run away because it may lead to regrets someday in our life. The thing that we should do is to face our own fears, it may be painful as we face it but in the end, it will help us to become who really we are and what we want with our own life. We live in this world is not permanently, each of us will face death in the end. The question is how did you live your life? Is it happy? In the end, if we did not live life to the fullest we will have our own regrets in life. What happen to Morrie is that he accepts on what his happening to him he had live his life, he loves dancing but the disease prevents him from dancing. Time passes by in his life where he had his time to be young and now is the time for him to become old this does not stop him from being happy in life. In the movie, I have realized many things about life. You may achieve whatever you want to achieve. You are not alone in the world; you live in the world to make someone happy. You are in a journey that comes once in your life we should live in this world without regrets in life.
