The second lesson

The second lesson Eddie learned was from his prior captain in the military. It's intersting because Eddie leanrs that his captain died saving him. (which is somewhat similar to the blue man) Something that really caught my attention in this section is when Eddie questions the captian about time. the captain responds by saying dying isn't what you think and how what happens on earth is only the beginning (that kind of connects to the first chapter which is titled "The End". Interesting.) The captain also uses the stellar analogy of Adam from the bible and how he lies down the first night not expecting to wake up because he doesn't know what sleep is. He wakes up the next morning and he has a fresh new world to work with. He has his yesterday. The captain connects this with Eddie's life telling him that heaven is a place for better understanding of his yesterdays. The basic lesson for Eddie was sacrifice. There shouldn't be regrets for sacrifices and everyone should make them.
