Life is a complicated. There are continuations to it such as life after death. The circle of life when it goes from the birth to the death. Finally Change from one life to another like children to adulthood. All of these are defined in Life.
One example is when Morrie says,"Forgive yourself. Forgive others. Don't wait, Mitch. Not everyone gets the time I'm getting. Not everyone is as lucky." He is telling mitch to continue his life with change when Morrie's life will soon end of its circle. The final example is 'The teaching goes on.' It means all these sayings down to just four words. The teaching or knowlage will go on past the circle of life. It will continiue through diffrent lives. And the teaching will change lives.
I strongly belive that these examples are saying. Life one life and change lives. I think that contunuation/circle of life/change are through out everyones life. Weather it is ours or anothers life. This book shows how Morrie gave the rest of his life in changing Mitch's life.
Have someone changed your life? Have you changed someone elses?

Memories
My philosophy of a memory is an event that is saved into your brain. It is a scientific function of your brain to save events that had happened which your body was there for. With out memories there would be no personalities. People, if you would call bodies with out a brain that, would stand around staring at each other and saying, "Hi!" The definition of Memories is events that makes someone who they are which they remember.
Memories are scattered in the book, Tuesdays with Morrie. One example is that Mitch asked about being forgotten after he died. This means that people who have memories about someone will eventually die and he will be forgotten to the sand of times unless he is famous that generations will remember him. Another example is that Mitch asked Morrie if he remember the book of Job, Morrie responded "I remember." This is an example of two people sharing similar memories about an event that happened in the past.
I agree that Memories are important and it might be the only thing we have sometimes like Morrie. I think that Memories are important because they show who we are deep down. They are linked with feelings which are important. Nothing in the book made me rethink my topic.
What are some unique memories do you have and how did they shape your life? These could be Dreams or events.

Fear Topic 3
My philosophy of fear is that fear is something no one can have power over. My definition of fear is that it is dangerous to a single individual. However you must always face your fears. An example is the fear of flying, the reason is that the plan might crash because the individual isn't flying the plane him/herself. Another example is the fear of death, the reason is that not many people can control their own death.
There are many examples of fear in this book Tuesdays with Morrie. One example is that Mitch was sledding down a hill, then a car came over the hill and Mitch jumped and tumbled down the hill. He was screaming, "AHHHHHH" in tangled with fear before he was safe from death. Another example of fear which is actually Morrie looking at a fear and turning it into a positive thing. He said he would like to be reincarnation into a gazelle so that he can run freely. He is afraid of death and faced his fear head on with the result of dieing.
I 100% agree that this story is close to my philosophy. I believe this because the charcters are faced with a fear and they face their fear in one way or another. I believe that fear is important or life is not worth living for. There would not anything to chalange ones self. This book actually makes me to rethink facing my fears.
What are your fears? How would you face them?

Topic 2 Communication
My philosophy of communication is expressing ones feelings. Without communications no one could express their beliefs and ideas it is a two way street. Communication is sending messages between two parties.
Communication is common in Tuesdays with Morrie. One example is Koppel wondered about two men together one unable to speak, the other unable to hear. "We will hold hands," Morrie said. "and there'll be lot of love passing between us." They will communicate with love for the message and not words. Another example of sharing beliefs is that Mitch brought a Sony tape recorder. He brought this to keep Morries beliefs and ideas alive.
I strongly agree that these examples are forms of communication. For the main reason is that Morrie communicate with other people even with major obstacles in the way. Communication is an important for Tuesdays with Morrie because Morrie can only communicate what he knows. Many things from the book made me rethink about communication because you can communicate with out just words.
How would you communicate with a foreign Tourist?
