This episode discusses Vell's difference between choices and decisions.
The Good Read for this episode is The Five People You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom.
Eddie, an 83-year-old man killed trying to save a young girl, wakes up in the afterlife, where his life is retold by five people. As Eddie recounts his many ups and downs, he sees what his life meant, in turn reminding all of us that no matter how menial we feel, our life has meaning. This is a moving novel of immense emotional resonance.
Eddie is a wounded war veteran, an old man who has lived, in his mind, an uninspired life. His job is fixing rides at a seaside amusement park. On his 83rd birthday, a tragic accident kills him, as he tries to save a little girl from a falling cart. He awakes in the afterlife, where he learns that heaven is not a destination. It's a place where your life is explained to you by five people, some of whom you knew, others who may have been strangers. One by one, from childhood to soldier to old age, Eddie's five people revisit their connections to him on earth, illuminating the mysteries of his "meaningless" life, and revealing the haunting secret behind the eternal question: "Why was I here?"
What's Popping in Vell's World consists of the Kansa City Superbowl Shooting, Mark Zuckerberg reviewing Apple’s Vision Pro headset, Ye - Vultures getting taken down, and more.
