Morrie's courage and understanding and acceptance of reality really inspired me, especially under the extreme circumstances that he was going through. This is shown on page 81 when the book states, "So we kid ourselves about death, I said. 'Yes. But there's a better approach. To know you're going to die, and to be prepared for it at any time.'" This tells me that people are subconsciously afraid of death, and they choose to avoid thinking about it or pondering if they are ready or unregretful when it comes to their final death.
In the book, Morrie also said, "When you realize you are going to die, you see everything much differently." He sighed. "Learn how to die, and you learn how to live." (Aphorism). This also really inspired me and I admire the knowledge, morals, and life lessons that Morrie has discovered and helped create as he grows nearer to death. Also, in learning from Morrie, I've begun to develop an interest in educating others on experiences I've gone through and providing people with advice as Morrie has chosen to and dedicated himself to throughout his experience.
