True to what the critics have mentioned about the book. A very engaging book that kept me glued to it. I have learnt a lot from this book. The author basically wants readers to know that "All endings are also beginnings. We just don't know it at the time." Five valuable lessons are embedded within the conversations between Eddie, and the five people he meets in heaven. All these lessons are things that we often mistook or are disgruntled about. I am going to well, in a way plagiarize some of the lines from the book.
First Lesson:
There are no random acts and that we are all connected. Fairness does not govern life and death because if it did, no good person would ever die young. There is a balance to everything, while one withers, another grows. And birth and death is similar to this.
Second Lesson:
We all make sacrifices. It is a part of life, and not something to regret. Sometimes when you are sacrificing something precious, you are not really losing it. Instead, you are just passing it to someone else.
Third Lesson:
Holding anger is a poison that eats you inside. We often think that hatred is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us, but it is just a curved blade. And that the harm we do, we do to ourselves. That is why it is important to forgive because no one is born with anger. It is just created by us.
Fourth Lesson:
Lost love is love that takes a different form. You can't see their smile or bring them food, but when these senses weaken, another heightens. That is memory. Memory becomes your partner. Although life ends, it does not mean that love has to end.
Fifth Lesson:
Eddie felt that he was non-existent and that what he did was not meaningful. However, what he does not realise is that he saves children from harm as he was the maintenance man. The one who fixes the machines and ensures that the children are safe. Here it tells us that we must never belittle the things we do for there are many reasons why we are placed in that certain profession or situation.
Do read this book to find out what actually took place that led to these five lessons learnt. I am sure you will enjoy this book as much as I did.
