What do you think that the author, Mitch Albom, is trying to get across to the reader?

         As Eddie meets five different people in Heaven you realize the author is trying to teach you lessons that everyone can relate to. Eddie's five different lessons are:

1.  "No life is wasted and only time we waste is the time we spend thinking that we are alone."
2. "Sometimes when you sacrifice something precious, you're not really losing it. You're just passing it on to someone else."
3. "No one is born with anger and when you die, your soul is freed from it. But right now, right here, you need to forgive."
4. "Lost love is still love. It takes a different form. Memory becomes your partner. Life ends but love doesn't."
5. "There is a significant reason for every person's existence. Life is entertwined."

          Each lesson quoted was specifically stated at the end of each meeting that he had with the five different people. I think that Mitch Albom did this purposely to make the reader truly understand his point, and have time to think about what he was saying. Any person could pick out at least one of these five lessons and say that they can relate to Eddie's own lessons, I know that I can learn from Eddie lessons in this story.
