When looking at the book Tuesdays with Morrie, I really found the book interesting. I was able to read this book in its entirety in just a day, I just couldn’t put it down.

He was pretty positive throughout the entire process even when he had a million reasons he could have just given up. Morrie is a true inspiration to anybody who has the honor of reading this book that was wonderfully written about him. Fear of Aging
When looking at different sources about the attitudes towards the fear of aging, I found a lot of interesting information. I was always a believer that everybody feared dying because of the family and friends that they would be leaving behind. Fearing the unknown of what if anything was on the other side and where exactly they were going. This has always been my biggest fear of not knowing what was going to happen and leaving my family behind in the event of a tragedy. Benjamin Franklin famously commented, “In this world, nothing can be said to be certain except death and taxes”. As we take this journey throughout life there is so many uncertainties and very few certainties. Growing up everybody wants to live …show more content…

  • Adversity In Tuesdays With Morrie

    Life is not easy, nor is it simple. Life is simply what one chooses to make of it. Kevin Conroy said something similar to that in his quote: “Everyone is handed adversity in life. No one’s journey is easy. It’s how they handle it that makes people unique.” In the two books Night, by Elie Wiesel, and Tuesdays with Morrie, by Mitch Albom, the audience is shown two very different types of adversity, but adversity none the less. The novels both deal with confinement, loss, and death; those are three of the biggest adversities one can face. While both novels do deal with these adversities, they deal with them differently, and under very different circumstances. Both novels approach adversity in different ways, and they address it in different

  • Quotes From Tuesdays With Morrie

    1299 Words  | 3 Pages

    One of the quotes, “learn how to die and you learn to live”, is when Morrie realizes near the end of his life that his perspective of the world changed as his window in life grew smaller (Albom, 1997, p. 82). His view of life transformed into appreciating simple interactions with the people he loved and cherishing the moments of leaving behind a legacy when he accepted death. To me, this quote means to revel in the moment, treasure the present, live memorably, appreciate the people who mean the most to you, and to live life to the fullest. Another quote, “aging is not decay but growth”, is what Morrie was finally able to translate in the final chapters of his life (Albom, 1997, p. 118). Morrie felt a sense of fulfillment of his years in life and savors the time he has remaining as death looms closer. He feels that growing old is not tied in with a negative context of falling apart physically, but about the positive aspects of growing emotionally and spiritually. From my perspective, this quote signifies that the person you are at the end of life is an accumulation of all the years compressed together, continuing to flourish with the knowledge of life’s experiences. Only with personal experiences come wisdom and

    I learned many things throughout the movie and plan to use them in my life. An example of something I learned would be another aphorism that Morrie discussed. The aphorism is, “When you know how to die, you know how to live”. A very important lesson from this quote would be to not waste time on the fact that you are dying, and instead enjoy the last moments you have by spending time with family and friends. Although that was only one example, there were many more, and the author did a wonderful job of putting Morrie’s life into perspective, and having people get a feel of what his life might’ve been

    This fear ties in with the previously stated mindset about the nothingness of life. If one’s whole world is oriented around proving their existence through achievement, then aging can be considered the ultimate death. Personally, I fear becoming old more than I fear physical death. Though not a physical death, from this cultural perspective, aging is viewed as the death of achievement. The older one becomes, the less their body and mind is capable of doing, and the less purposeful their life becomes.
