Synopsis: Morrie is Mitch’s teacher at university. Mitch forgets about him after graduation, until one day he sees Morrie on tv. Mitch decides to go pay his old teacher a visit. Morrie is fighting with a fatal disease called ALS. The approach Morrie has towards life after being diagnosed with such a disease is awe inspiring. Despite counting days till his death, Morrie is full of hopefulness, kindness, and useful advice for Mitch.
Don’t cling to things because everything is impermanent.
The main message this book conveys is how one can learn to live by accepting death. If one accepts the fact that he will die one day, which can be any day, he will live everyday to the fullest because it might be his last. He will behave, respect others, be kind to people, and make things right while he can...
The truth is, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.
If you’re looking for something inspiring, then Tuesdays With Morrie is a good place to start. Other book by Mitch Albom are great too, ‘The Five People You Meet in Heaven’ being a personal favourite of mine.
That is all I have for you today. Stay tuned for upcoming posts!💗
