The book i am reading is tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom and it was published 1997.
I wrote this book on my favorite professer Morrie schwartz so i can open your eyes on a story of lifes greatest lesson. Morrie changed and looked at life differently when he heard he had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. He first thought that the world would stop, but found out that it won't. He took life like everyday was his last. He didn't like the normal way of doing things so he did it the "Morrie" way.
" its horrible if you watch my body slowly wilt away to nothing. But it's also wonderful because of all the time I get to say good-bye." p.57
This quote made me look at death and dying in a whole new way. It personally made me question what i would want later in life. To either go and go quickly but not be able to say my good-byes, or die slowly and painfully and say my peace before i die.
" the culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it." p.42
This quote made me think back to class.
