Five Lessons from Heaven
I recently read the book "The five people you meet in heaven", by Mitch Albom. A lot of friends told me that it's a really good book to read, and it would make you think about your life. So I decided to give it a try. It's very easy to read, the words are simple, yet it really makes its points.
The five people Eddie met in the heaven after he died represented five lessons:
- Strangers, are just family you have yet to come to know. No life is a waste, the only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we are alone.
- Sacrifice is a part of life. It's supposed to be. It's not something to regret. It's something to aspire to.
- Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves. So forgive.
- Life has to end, love doesn't. Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurtune it. You hold it. You dance with it.
- Never think that you did not do anything with your life. Never think that you accomplished nothing. There's a reason for everything.
I really liked the ending of the novel.
