Tuesdays with Morrie

Reading “Tuesdays with Morrie” by Mitch Albom is one of the best books I ever read. Reading about Morrie this old man who is diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and knowing he was one of the happiest people to be alive it’s probably one of the most inspirational story I ever read about. Morrie was Mitch Albom’s professor and after albom graduated from college and got his career started he comes back to visit his professor Morrie. Albom is a person who lost his brother and uncle and always strides to be the best at everything he does. When he first visits Morrie after years without seeing him Albom didn’t see the world as Morrie did. Morrie saw the world as plants and animals. With a little bit of love and caring you can grow up to be something beautiful like a rose, but we all have our finish line just like a rose when it gets old, rankly and dies. Morrie tries to make Albom see life as a onetime thing and it’s too short to take it for granted. Morrie wants Albom to realize death is a part of life and the sooner you accept that the better your life will be. Morrie tells Albom “The most important thing in life is to learn hotw to give out love, and to let it come in.” This is the general theme in the book. Love is the key to everything, without love you don’t necessarily have everything.
