The book Tuesday's with Morrie was a sad, touching story. I loved Morrie's positive and enthusiastic attitude towards his disease, which he displayed throughout the whole story. Even though Morrie was mournful and sad about his future death, he never let it stop him from living. That is one thing that I will take with me from this book. It is ok to be sad that your dying, but if you are too sad about it, then you will never appreciate the life that you lived or see your life through to the end. It is important to live your life all the way until the day you die because you only get one chance at life. This is something that I absolutely agree with Morrie about. However I disagree with Morrie when he says that the meaning of life is to love and cherish others. I personally don't think that the meaning of life is to build relationships and to forgive people and create a bond with people or to love all your family and friends. I agree that these things are big parts of your life, but not the sole meanning. I don't think life has a meaning. We live, we die, that is the natural order of things. I agree that loving others and having some form of social life is very important to a successful life, however it won't kill you to live your life as a recluse either if that is what you want to do. We only have our one life, live it to the fullest, where ever that road may take you. The only key advice I would give to people after reading this book is to make everyday count.
