ocr: One ofthe reasons Gehrigsargument works is that Gehrig doesnot: - specifywhat the I "awful lot" he has to live fori is. This allows us to form our own conclusions- - - maybe Gehrig lives for the love and admiration ofhis fans, or maybe he lives for his love ofthe game, or maybe he lives forthe love ofhis wife, or maybe it's something else. Although interpretations will vary,his speech -the argument- - still affects us.ltmakes us think, and perhaps it convinces us that we should be happy for Gehrig, lucky hero thathe is,rather than sorryfor him.
