I believe that death is something you should not dread or be afraid of. Eventually, we all die and it's just apart of life. Morrie said " Everyone knows they're going to die, but nobody believes it." I think Morrie ‎was right and that is why everyone is scared of death because they don't believe that it will happen.

"All right, it's just fear, I don't have to let it control me. I see it for what it is." Morrie told Mitch this when discussing fear. We shouldn't live our lives in fear because, it would distract us from our memories. Fear is just trying to get in the way of our lives, and control us.

"Status will get you nowhere." Morrie said. He was right, people fight to be on top, but break every bridge to get there.

Marriage is a lifelong test with the person you love and cherish. You need to respect each other and their needs. "If you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.

When realizing what you fear, you are more likely to be scared and hurt by the fear. Since it has been feared for so long that idea of fear starts to fade without realizing it because it is normal at some point. Fearing something for so long can make someone lose hope in certain accomplishments and fights.

The love of a family is life’s greatest blessing. In life, there is a universal desire for oneness among people—we want to belong. It is why we collaborate, support common causes, cheer for sports teams, feel nationalism; it’s why we build villages, towns, and cities. Families are where we connect ourselves in relationships to past, current, and future generations. For many, family is not only a blessing, but our greatest accomplishment.

Everyone has to face death. There are some people who fear death because it will take them away from their loved ones and rip them off what they have earned throughout their life, such as money, honor, and power. However, there are people claiming that they do not fear death since they have experienced many wonderful moments in their lifetime. Death sounds so terrifying because it means an end of someone’s life. Reading Epicurus’ “Letter to Menoeceus”, I will argue that a reason to not fear death is that we do not exist anymore after we die.

In modern marriages, one of the partners will get married to the other for the wrong reasons such as financial stability (wealth). (According to Emma Goldman)” Marriage is primarily an economic arrangement, an insurance pact.” This is a common mistake in marriages because you are marrying someone over money not love, and that's a bad way to approach any relationship.

The theory is empirical based which is applicable to nursing practice in caring for dying patients, assessing interventions, maximizing care, promote dignity and enhancing end of life to be peaceful. According to Moore and Ruland, a good life is simply defined as getting what one wants (Alligood, 2014, p. 702).

Through all the tough and terrible situations a person may be wrapped up in your family is usually the group of people you can go to, and get the best most helpful advice. In my family I have certain people that I can automatically go to and tell them my problems without being judged, and I always get the best advice.

People who are somewhat religious are more likely to fear death than individuals who happen to be atheists or those who are exceedingly religious. Atheists and individuals who highly believe in an afterlife are less likely to fear death as compared to those who are only somewhat religious.
