Morrie: Aging
Morrie was never afraid of aging to growth because he filled his life with meanings. He didn't want to make himself feel negative with others. Morrie understands the meaning of death. He said to Mitch that "everybody including you will die one day eventually". He feels that aging is part of life, or in other word's the circle of life. Even though he envy and misses dancing, but he detach those emotions out of his mind. Morrie said "don't let experience penetrate you. On the contrary, you let it penetrate you fully". Basically he's saying that's how you leave from emotions. Don't let it take over, but if you can not then let them out. Morrie said to Mitch that he doesn't mind aging, he embraces it. He feels this way because he has experience

    Carrie Albom Quotes

    Lastly, another quote that was significant to me was “As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed as ignorant as you were at twenty- two, you'd always be twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, it's the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it.” This quote was said by Morrie as Mitch and him talked about aging and death. This quote signifies that aging is not just one step closer to dying, but having more knowledge and experience in life. Morrie never feared aging, but embraced it. He explains to Mitch that to fight age is a hopeless battle, because aging and death are inevitable, and a natural part of life. So he tells Mitch to learn not to mourn every year of growing, but to understand and witness new things as he grows. 7. This book is a heroic and moving book in many ways and is displayed in many characters, but I think the most heroic and moving character in the book is Morrie Schwartz because of his life-changing lessons that he tells to Mitch. When he is about to die he listens to Mitch’s life problems and helps them with…

    Morrie's Ideas In The Giver By Lois Lowry

    Morrie’s ideas raise up a lot of questions. What makes an emotion? How are we able to feel emotion? It makes me think of The Giver by Lois Lowry. In The Giver is a society where all emotion is eliminated, meaning that humans cannot feel emotion. It’s very interesting to compare how emotion plays a huge role in both stories. Morrie is someone who has felt sadness, pain, and grief, yet people in The Giver never get to experience those emotions. I think Morrie is trying to tell Mitch to detach himself from his emotions because he wants Mitch to accept that life is short and that nothing is permanent.…

    Tuesdays With Morrie Analysis

    “Love is how you stay alive” (Albom 133). This was a quote in Tuesdays with Morrie. It was one of many that I made connections with people in my own life. People that I have looked up to for wisdom and relief that everything is going to be okay. Morrie was a man with good morals, and he believed that people need to devote themselves to their community and their self in order to have a meaning of life. Throughout the book, I believed the theme was about knowing what is important and learn to love one another.…

    Tuesdays With Morrie Brainwashing Quotes

    Before Mitch Albom began talking to Morrie, his perspective on life was fallacious. He believed that a bigger house, a better car, and more material things would make his life better. Morrie quickly points out that this is a bad way to go about life. By doing so, you end up wanting more things than you can afford. People with this viewpoint end up leading miserable lives due to the fact that they are not content with what they already have.…

    Quotes From Tuesdays With Morrie

    One of the biggest factors in our lives are our families, same with Morrie. While Morrie and Mitch are discussing things he says something that may or may not make you think. “Death ends a life, not a relationship”(www.goodreads.com). Even though somebody dies doesn’t mean they aren’t your husband or wife anymore. If somebody is still alive and their best friend dies that doesn’t not make them their best friend anymore. This is Morrie’s opinion on any relationship that he has and sort of relates to the topic of love.…

    Frontline Living Old Analysis

    Based on the documentary “Frontline: Living Old”, some of the scenes from the documentary that influences the living arrangements I would consider for my parents is when Ms. Paunescu cares for her mother, Maria, at her apartment. I would prefer my parents to live with me as well despite the health circumstances, because I know the needs of my parents, and I will be responsible for administering the proper medication for them. If, however, I am too busy to take care of my parents when I am at work, I believe that Adult Day Care centers are a good way for my parents to socialize with others. I enjoyed seeing the elderly singing in the nursing home, and I believe that socialization is imperative for the mental well-being of the elderly there.…

    As I was reading these chapters, Morrie talking about regrets had me start thinking about my regrets. A feeling I was getting that my past choices I made were very poor. My life could have been so much different if I had made better choices. I think that Morrie is right, today society does not encourage us to think about our regrets and that we need someone to point us to the right direction. Someone that will guide us along, advising us to not make the mistakes they made in their lives. Mitch already has this person, its Morrie. My prediction is that by the end of all Tuesday visits, Mitch will be a whole new person. Morrie will help him and make him realize that success in life is not just about making a lot of money. Morrie will explain to him how it is like to be on you death bed knowing you will die any day. Looking back on your life and realizing how everything turned out and that your life still is not over.…

    Morrie Schwartz faced a lot of constraints throughout his life. In his childhood, the first circumstantial constraint that he had to face was his mother’s death and the acceptance of it. Morrie could not get out of his denial stage for a long time, which gradually made him a person who never shares his grief with anyone. He also faced his father’s rejection but eventually, that made him want to be a better father to his children. Another major constraint Morrie faced was him being diagnosed…

My goal was to get an in-depth look at what she has gone through in her life, physiologically and psychologically, and to learn, recognize, and identify with her in some way. People judge our elders everyday, but we fail to remember that not long ago they were our age. this was a great way for myself and others to get an insight on this terse life we have to live.…

    Tuesdays With Morrie Aphorism Analysis

    Morrie aphorism “What if today were my last day on earth?” (p. 64) made me think. When Mitch said that to Morrie it made me think about it too. Since Mitch knew already that Morrie was going to die soon, it made him think about it too. I have to say that if someone ever mentioned something like this in a conversation it would make them think about it because thats life. Like Forest Gump said a movie that almost everyone uses “Life Like A Box of Chocolates” because you don't know what you’re going to get which relates to this in a way because you dont whats going to happen to tomorrow basically you don't know what the future holds for you. You might not even wake up because one cannot for tell the future. Anyways the aphorism has been true to me because no one would want to talk about their last day on earth, they just want live and enjoy life because this is one in a lifetime. I also feel like i can feel how they are feeling when Morrie and MItch are having a conversation and that comes up. Like what if today was my last day on day ,how would I act or say. I can speak for about everyone when i say everyone would be scared if they thought today was their last day on earth. Personally I will be terrified especially…
