Tuesdays With Morrie PT.IV

Prompt-1- Explain the aphorism in detail. what was Morrie's main message?
2-     Relate the aphorism to a movie, song, historical event, current event, personal experience, etc. and explain in detail how the example you have chosen relates to the aphorism.
3-     Evaluate the aphorism by explaining why you agree/disagree with it. Give specific reasons for your position and specific evidence from the text to support your position.
4-     Take a picture of your aphorism to use as your graphic.
5- Include your own aphorism regarding life.

'The Most Important Thing In Life Is To Learn How Give Out Love And Let It Come In'. The main message of Morries aphorism was 'You Get What You Give'. This means that as a person you have to learn how to show others and the world love to in return learn how to accept love. 

I related this aphorism with the movie 'Juno', starring Ellen Page and Micheal Cera. In the movie Juno, after she gets pregnant with Paulie Bleekers baby, she relaizes that she is in love with him. She doesn't want him to know that she is in love with him, but she also doesn't know that he really does love her. After having her baby and giving it up for adoption she finally learns how to give/show Paulie love to then accept his love, whereas before she would dismiss his love as friendship or pity for getting her pregnant. 

I agree with this aphorism because I believe that this is a world of balances, in which you get an equal amount of what you give. If you give out positivity and positive energy to others, you in turn will receive positive energy as well, the same goes for negative energy or emotion. Another reason I believe this is because in the novel Mitch had to show Morrie love and care (by taking care of him, massaging him, etc) to truly recieve and really feel Morries love, and Morrie gave out all his love to the world and in turn accepted love from others. 

One aphorism I have regarding life is 'Live Your Best Life No Matter What Others Think'
