Reflection :
Tuesdays with Morrie, This book's opening part is Mitch who is Morrie's university student knew Morrie Schwartz had Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. So, Mitch met Morrie and visited with him. The contents , After graduating university , Mitch only follow money and work when he was 20s. After years , Mitch became 30s.
One day, He saw tv program 'Night Line', he witness Morrie's
interview and noticed that Morrie had Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Mitch remembered promises to visit Morrie after graduation. So, Mitch met Morrie every Tuesday and talked about a kind of life lesson. One of the lesson, This was very interesting, It was about Method of Morrie when he receive other people. Nowadays, we face many people. but how many people listen to other people? we pretend to listen with attention. But, Morrie was a person who give ear and pour in to his passion for other people.
How much we are happy if we have a friends like Morrie. Also, Morrie said, we should free ourselves from our cultures. Our cultures make us follow better car, luxury. We have our values and shouldn't follow other people. Facing the death, self possessed Morrie's a lesson and an easy and composed attitude, because of that lesson, Mitch is changing. Also, I think about me and experience many changes.
Morrie taught to me meaning of life, It is very thankful to be alive. A gloomy atmosphere that a death gives, Morrie got through a gloomy atmosphere by humor.
He never frustrate while his body is paralyzed. If we are sad and gloomy, we should cry and free from that emotions. I think the tear is shameful. but after reading this book, I felt more comfortable. Morrie said , a death is not a decline. it is just a course of life. Don't fear get older. Don't boast younger. We should always
thank to being alive. We don't have enough time. The while we should live and love each other.
