To be honest, I was wondering what is the reason that makes Eddie’s life so painfully miserable, is it his cruel fate playing tricks on him or his inability to accept life? Has the world been too harsh on him or his denial of the world ruin his happiness?
Eddie’s life is unquestionably harsh and full of obstacles and to a certain extent, I was wondering why he did not commit suicide just like the character Charlie in the novel “For One More Day”. However, although he has the courage to continue living and bearing with this fateful life of his, he leads an unhappy life for the remaining of his days after the departure of his wife.
If Mitch Albom does not create the issue of heaven in this novel, will Eddie get a chance to reflect his life, discover the truthfulness of certain matters in his life thus repent for his deeds? In real life, how many of us will get the chance to reflect on our actions and behavior? Too much to count! And yet how many of us appreciate the opportunity to do so? Too little to be proud of, I assume. If only we decide to reflect, reveal and repent our deeds while we still can, Mitch will not have to write this novel at all to remind us about our shortsightedness of life.
