I found these while cleaning up my gmail today. They're from my family's book club, notes I took while we were reading Ted's choice of the above titled book.
When he says that the event under the pecan tree would either resurrect him or kill him, that's so true of so many things in our lives. It's all about how we look at things, our attitude. Things can either break us down or buoy us up, motivate us to do things. Usually tragic events. hard events. But they're either super awesome or super crazy. So interesting! It's all about our attitudes and what we take away from things. It shows how much control we have over the events in our lives. How much control we have over our lives in general.
It takes the hard things to make us better. If they're not hard, they won't make us better.
You can't categorize relationships. He indulges himself with a magic square at the end, an old habit, but he says that it overflows with people and the confusion pleased him. And relationships are just... unpredictable. People are crazy and do things you don't understand, can't understand... hm. Relationships aren't categorizable.
