Values: Tuesdays with Morrie

2. If I only had a few days left of my life, I would believe it or not I would still go to school. A lot of people would probably say that they wouldn't but that is where half of my life is and I would want to say good by to that half. I would want to see my friends more, see my teachers, even see those people that I have only said two words to the entire year. Instead of doing homework I would go on a shopping spree and spend all of my money. I would buy a couple things for me but mostly stuff for everyone else. I would buy people inside jokes or things people always wanted so they would have a happy memory left of me when I was gone. For dinner, me and my family would go to my favorite restaurant and I would buy five of my favorite meals. I would make sure to tell my family what a great support they have been to me my whole life. Lastly, I would go crazy and finger paint my wall with all of my friends as a memorial (kind of). It would be one last great memory of us all together that would stay forever.

4. I believe that death is the end of a life as it is the conclusion of your life. Although, I would say that dying is a beginning of another journey as it puts people into a different mindset and allows people to reflect. Similarly to the beginning of a life, at the beginning of dying people have a lot of choices to make and decide who they want to be. One has to decide how to spend these last moments and who to spend them with. It really brings out the true person because since they are dying, there is nothing stopping them from doing something except themselves. For example, if someone was afraid of skydiving but wanted to they would be more likely to do it because even if they die it wouldn't be that big of a deal now. It truly is an inner refection as there are no obligations or consequences for one's choices.
