1 " No life is a waste," the Blue Man said. " The only time we waste is the time we spend thinking we're alone. "
2 " There are five people you meet in heaven," the Blue Man suddenly said. " Each of us was in your life for a reason. You may not have known the reason at the time, and that is what heaven is for. For understanding your life on Earth." Eddie looked confused." People think of heaven as a paradise garden, a place where they can float on clouds and laze in rivers and mountains. But scenery without solace is meaningless." This is the greatest gift God can give you: To understand what happened in your life. To have it explained. It is the peace you have been searching for. "
3 " Strangers," the Blue Man said, " are just family yo have yet to come to know. "
4 " My funeral," the Blue Man said. " Look at the mourners. Some did not even know me well, yet they came. Why? Did you ever wonder? Why people gather when others die? Why people feel they should?" It is because the human spirit knows, deep down, that all lives intersect. That death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed." You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole." It is why we are drawn to babies . . ." He turned to the mourners. " And to funerals. "
