Thanatology is a class that has interested me in so many different ways. The speakers that have come in have enhanced my knowledge about other religions and what they think death means to them and how they deal with it. It has opened my eyes to view death extremely different. I am not as afraid of the thought of death like I used to be. It was something that, like most people, I would try to act as if death didn't exist and never really wanted to talk about the subject at all. Slowly I have learned that it is just part of life and you have to accept it no matter what. The readings have led to actually read a whole book because I am so caught up in the story. The writings have allowed me to break out of my shell and freely write whatever pops up in my head. After reading Tuesdays with Morrie has made look out on life differently as a whole; not just about death but all the other important things in life such as love, compassion, and the meaning of life. Its a class everyone should take because its more than just the subject of death and dying, it goes way beyond to other important aspects in life.
