Author: Mitch Albom
Tuesdays with Morrie is about the conversations
between a dying sociology professor, Morrie who is suffered from ALS (a kind of
disease the melt your nerves from your leg to your upper body) and his student
Mitch Albom, who is the author of this book. Topics covered in their
conversations are the following: the world, feeling sorry for yourself,
regrets, death, family, emotions, the fear of aging, money, how love goes on,
marriage, culture, forgiveness, and the perfect day.
Partly because professor Morrie’s about to die, he saw
thing differently, which made the witted insights of Morrie into life sprinkled
in this book so precious. It’s really a book about life especially for people
who feel lost, as it talks a lot about life.
One of my favorite words from the books is the
following:
Morrie: It’s horrible to watch my body slowly wilt
away to nothing. But it’s also wonderful because of all the time I get to say
good-bye.
Since Morrie is suffered from ALS, a kind of disease
often starts from the feet and works its way up. At first he was unable to move
his legs. Then, he was unable to sit straight, at the end he has to breathe
through a tube in a hole in his throat; hence, it’s like the person spirit is
in an unmovable husk. It’s a very horrible disease, but the uptake is that
Morrie has plenty oftime to say good-bye before he leaves the world.
， My understanding to these words are that bad things
are inevitable in our life, but they’re like a knife, which can be used to help
people dice meat or to harm people. Beneath the bad thing happening to us,
there’re always good things, for example, I can’t attend school now because of
some illness, but it gives me time to read vigorously and time to contemplate
my life. Numerous examples can be found in everywhere. To find good things from
the horrible things that happen to us is a very important mindset that we need
to have, because it can make us stronger, or perhaps change bad things into
good things.
