Tuesdays with Morrie is a book written by Mitch Albom. This book is about the true story of his visits to his old college professor, Morrie Schwartz, who is dying from ALS. The book talks about the life lessons Morrie shares with Mitch during their weekly Tuesday meetings. Each Tuesday visit, they focus on a different topic and different lesson, such as love, work, family, aging, and death. As Morrie gets worse, his lessons gain more impact. Mitch’s life begins to change as he listens to Morrie’s advice. This book is a very emotionally touching story that reminds people of the human connections, kindness, and meanings of living a good life.
“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love and let it come in.” (p.52)
I chose this quote because it shows one of the biggest messages/lessons in this book, that love matters more than anything else. In this part of the book, Morrie is telling Mitch that being able to give and receive love is what makes life better and more worth living. It made me think about how in life, if you do things with love, you do them better, and if you treat people with love and kindness, you should be able to let love in as well.
