a theoretical system founded by the philosopher‚ Epicurus (341-270 B.C.E.)‚ who held that happiness should be valued as life’s highest good and that the best way to achieve it is to live in the moment.

Margaret Edson’s play "Wit‚" and reading more of the play gave me a more broad perspective. Not only was the movie great‚ but it let me learn more about a fascinating author who was quoted throughout the movie. The movie “Wit” is based off a cancer patient.

The movie Wit was based on a professor
