Take My Life…

“Take my life but don’t take away the meaning of my life.”

this quote really made me think. in my opinion, she was trying to say that she does not care about not having the gift of life. no matter if she is dead or alive, she does not mind, just as long as the life that she has lived has meaning. for example, if someone was once living in grave poverty, but miraculously won the lottery, he/she would believe his/her reason for living is to give back to the needy. he/she would feel as if the reason why he/she became so wealthy was to donate the money to shelter, feed, and clothe the homeless, just as mother theresa. the person’s hope for living and giving would also give hope  to the needy people to keep on living. if this person dies, he/she has made an impact on the lives of others by giving them hope for living, and therefore has no other purpose in life because he/she believes he/she has already fulfilled his/her reason for living. the woman in the story is saying that she does not care if she does not physically remain on earth, just as long as her life still has meaning and purpose, where her soul still lives on.
