I think with this certain aphorism that Morrie stated he was saying exactly what he meant by it. By saying 'Find someone to share your heart', I think he meant that find someone that you can live the rest of your life with together. This would go along with marriage, and love and caring for each other which is what I think he meant by 'share your heart'. In the aphorism, he says 'give to your community', I think this just means to help out with your community. To me, it means to be involved with the community you live in. To make sure that you volunteer, help out your neighbors, or being involved with events that are a part of your community. When Morrie says, 'be at peace with yourself', I think he is referring back to forgiving yourself. By forgiving yourself, you will no longer have any regrets or feel guilty for anything in life that you may or may not have done. I think once you have forgiven yourself, you will finally be at peace with yourself. I think Morrie meant to experience all emotions/feelings and live life to its fullest by 'try to be as human as you can be'. By letting all your emotions out, and by recognizing each and everyone of your feelings. Also by knowing that no one is perfect, and you're going to end up making mistakes, but to make sure you always forgive yourself.
I can relate this aphorism to the movie The Fault In Our Stars with every part of this aphorism. Hazel had found Agustus to share her heart with and she cared and loved for him deeply. They loved each other a lot, and this goes along with the 'Find someone to share your heart' part of the aphorism. They relate to each other because Hazel loved and cared deeply for Agustus and she was planning on spending the rest of her life with him, which is kind of the whole meaning of that part of the aphorism. Hazel was a part of a support group in her community in which she would listen and talk to others about her problems. I think this kind of goes along with getting involved with your community. Getting involved with your community is also part of the meaning in 'give to your community'. When Agustus died, Hazel was a wreck, and she couldn't live with herself. Then she finally found some peace within herself and she was able to live much better. I think this would go along with 'be at peace with yourself' because she was able to be at peace with herself. With the part, 'try to be as human as you can be', goes well with Hazel's character. She kept a diary in which she wrote down all her feelings. This relates to the aphorism because she was able to express her feelings.
I would have to say that I agree with this aphorism 100%, because you will be able to have a much better life if you follow this aphorism. If you find someone to share your heart with, you'll have someone that will always be there for you. Someone that can care and love for you throughout your life, and you can do the same to the person. I think you're way better off living with someone that you love than being alone. Giving to your community is just a nice way to say thank you for everything that your community has done to you. If you try to be at peace with yourself then you will be happy with yourself. If you are able to forgive yourself, then you will just end up living a more happy and peaceful life. I think you are much better off like this then feeling sorry and guilty for something that you may or may not have not in the past. Being as human as you can and expressing your feelings will help you stay sane. Keeping your feelings all locked up inside of you isn't a very healthy choice, and that is why you are better off just letting all your emotions out.
