some quotes...

... that i love from Tuesday w/ Morrie book:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. 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"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them, too -- even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We're so wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family, having enough money, meeting the mortgage, getting a new car, fixing the radiator when it breaks -- we're involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going. So we don't get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, Is this all? Is this all I want? Is something missing?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mitch: "Why is it so hard to think about dying?"

Morrie: "Because...most of us all walk around as if we're sleepwalking. We really don't experience the world fully, because we're half-asleep, doing things we automatically think we have to do."

Mitch:"And facing death changes all that?"

Morrie: "Oh, yes, You strip away all that stuff and you focus on the essentials. When you realize you are going to die, you see everything much differently"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The fact is, there is no foundation, no secure ground, upon which people may stand today if it isn't the family. It's become quite clear to me as I've been sick. If you don't have the support and love and caring and concern that you get from a family, you don't have much at all. Love is so supremely important."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Learn to detach"
"Don't cling to things, because everything is impermanent."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"All right, it's just fear, I don't have to let it control me, I see it for what it is"

Same for loneliness: you let go, let the tears flow, feel it completely -- but eventually be able to say, "All right, that was my moment with loneliness. I'm not afraid of feeling lonely, but now I'm going to put that loneliness aside and know that there are other emotions in the world, and I'm going to experience them as well."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Morrie: "Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative you're going to die, it's also the positive that you understand you're going to die. , and that you live a better life because of it."

Mitch: [Yes, I said, but if aging were so vulnerable, why do people always say, "Oh if I were young again." 

Morrie: He smiled. "You know what that reflects? Unsatisfied lives. Unfulfilled lives. Lives that haven't found meaning. Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward. You want to see more...."

"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."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You have to find what's good and true and beautiful in your life as it is now. Looking back makes you competitive. And, age is not a competitive issue."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...if you're tying to show off for people at the top, forget it. they will look down at you anyhow. And if you're trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"-- how we think, what we value-- those you must choose yourself. You can't let anyone-- or any society-- determine those for you."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Look, no matter where you live, the biggest defect we human beings have is shortsightedness. We don't see what we could be. We should be looking at our potential, stretching ourselves into everything we can become."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
