Morrie's Aphorism #1

"Get as much help as you can when you need it." is one of Morrie's aphorism. Aphorism is short saying that has general truth. We always think that an aphorisms are hard to understand, or maybe it's always written in a deep way. But most of Morrie's aphorisms are pretty easy to understand. There might be a lot of meanings in it, but when you look at it the first time, you can quite get what it means. Like this one, get as much help as you can when you need it, we might think to ourself, and think "of course!". But this aphorism is pretty true, you should get as much as you can when you need it. I felt confuse about this aphorism, because sometimes people say that always getting help from people is irresponsible. But getting help when you need is definitely important.

You can get help from friends, peers, family, and other people. Getting help when you need is really important, and sometimes people help, sometimes not, but it's important to ask for help. Helping other people is also another thing that's related to this aphorism, I think.

I think this aphorism is great even though it's written in a kind of simple form, but it definitely has a lot of meanings in it.
