Grey’s Anatomy
Meredith Grey is a complicated charwoman . Audiences have been followingher journey for 16 seasons , andthe title characterof the noted ABC aesculapian drama , Grey ’s Anatomy , has been through a plenty and , then , some more .
Losses and gains have made Greydark and twisty , as her supporter call her in the show ’s third season . And as a dreary and twisty person , it ’s no wonderment she can give some excellent aliveness advice and say some things no one should ever consider .
Good advice: “Cause You Never Think That The Last Time Is The Last Time. You Think There Will Be More. You Think You Have Forever, But You Don’t.”
This is a Sojourner Truth bomb , but are n’t they , commonly , the good advice ? In the 2nd season , sequence 16 , " It ’s The death Of The World , " Meredith has a flavour that demise will come her mode . Thankfully , that spoiled prophecy never comes true , but the advice stands , and it assist people of all ages , conditions , and liveliness stories .
No one truly knows when they ’ll die , and we can not postpone doing what sincerely makes us happy and complete . Because our life are thin and they can end at any time , so seize the day , not irresponsibly , but as if it ’s your last .
Bad Advice: “More Tequila, More Love, More Anything. More Is Better.”
This is not bad advice only because it ’s come from the sameperson who is pine away on tequila , dwell on a bathroom floor complaining about the opposite sex . It is also bad because it encourages superfluous and abuse in a society where addiction is a coarse trouble affecting millions of people .
Substance maltreatment is as problematical as any other kind of abuse , include food , love , sex , gambling . Meredith Grey knows betterand should not advance the idea that " More Is Better . "
Good Advice: “Boundaries Don’t Keep Other People Out; They Fence You In.”
We are all afraid of getting suffer . And , in liveliness , the people around us sometimes let us down . But that ’s no excuse to give up let people in . Be it a friendship or a romantic relationship , we all need others to enrich our life experience .
Grey ’s quote from the second sequence in the very first season is right on period because it refuse the melodic theme of refuge inside an set-apart consolation geographical zone . Being alone might keep you from experience heartbreaks , but it will also keep you away from the pleasure of sharing your life .
Bad advice: “We Have To Sweep Today’s Possibility Under Tomorrow’s Rug Until We Can’t Anymore.”
The sixth installment of the first season is about the days ahead . And Meredith begin by quoting Benjamin Franklin ’s " Never forget Till Tomorrow That Which you’re able to Do Today . " But by the end of the episode , she concludes that we have to see for ourselves the effect of not doing something to unfeignedly empathize the meaning of Franklin ’s words .
But that ’s not correct , nor a salutary life deterrent example . There ’s a reason why smart quotes transcend generations , is to make us think and learn by the experience and brainstorm of others .
Good advice: “Change Is Constant. How We Experience Change That’s Up To Us.”
myopic and simple , this quote from the first episode in season 7 says it all . We ca n’t control many aspect of our lives and the people around us ; all we can do is deal with the changes that animation bring . But what makes all the departure in our felicity is how well we accept and endeavor to overcome the new challenge .
In the post - shooting episode " With You , I ’m Born Again , " Grey ’s whole speech is based on the constant change in science , sometimes invisible , but always present . A beautiful metaphor for life .
Bad advice: “I Feel Like One Of Those People Who Are So Freaking Miserable, They Can’t Be Around Normal People.”
Yes , we feel unsound forMeredith Grey when she shares with Dr. Karevthis sad financial statement in season 2 , episode 9 . But that ’s frightful advice from the notorious physician . Being miserable , either pathologically or psychologically , should not keep anyone from being around hoi polloi they manage about .
And , more importantly , who handle about them . In fact , it ’s quite the opposite . For too long , unhappiness has been treated as a chosen condition ; but most of the time , it is not . Like give out a ivory , depression needs to be treat professionally because everyone deserves to be glad and healthy .
Good Advice: “I Think It’s Important To Take The Time To Tell The People You Love How Much You Love Them While They Can Still Hear You.”
Doctors deal with mortality day by day . They turn a loss patients and watch as families and friend lose their love ones . No wonderMeredith Grey is good at notify peopleon how to really use the fourth dimension they have to express themselves and their feelings .
In season 5 ’s finis , this sprightliness lesson is professed . And everyone should take the clock time to cautiously understand its true meaning . When you be intimate someone - a partner , a mother , a brother - do n’t waste your sentence fighting or being ego - conscious about what you feel . Because one day they will be gone . So make the time and take the fourth dimension to say you love them .
Bad advice: “That’s Where Love Exists: In Delusional Fantasies.”
In season 4 , installment 15 , Meredith and Derek ca n’t agree on when to absent a patient ’s genius tumor . Derek wants to hold off for the patient ’s alleged lover , butMeredith believes the lover to be a illusion .
And that ’s when she says this lamentable and untrue quote about love . Hopefully , no one took this one to middle because it is not a example anyone should look at . erotic love be in many forms and shapes , and it should never be consider a symptom of delusional fantasy .
Good advice: “Never Give In, Never Give Up. Stand Up. Stand Up And Take It.”
This quote from installment 12 , time of year 10 , is about failure . And Meredith is maculation on in her take on how to deal with it . We ca n’t always win , we ca n’t curb all the edition in our professional and personal goals , and sometimes , we ’re advertise back .
It ’s normal , and we take to accept that it chance . But we must never give up in the face of loser . If life does n’t go as we require or expect , we demand to stand up , take it , and move on . Because that ’s how life is , and all we can do is our best to be felicitous living .
Bad advice: “She’s So Full Of Feelings All The Time. Why Can’t She Just Cram Them Down And Shut Up Like Everybody Else?”
accent out about Owen and Amelia ’s wedding , Meredith profess to Alex what she wishes Amelia would do with her emotions . This advice would not only be defective to Amelia but to anyone else who would follow it .
Cramming down feelings and not expressing them is bad for one ’s genial and forcible wellness , andno sane MD should ever say this , not even to a close friend . Emotions are part of being human and should be dealt with decently because when shoved inside , they are doomed to come out in its worst form and induce a quite a little of damage .
