Tuesdays With Morrie 4/27/-5/1

Prompt: Based on the 6 Tuesdays you have read about in Tuesdays with Morrie, choose which topic (The World, Feeling Sorry For Yourself, Regrets, Death, Family, or Emotions) that has had the most impact on you or inspired you. On your blog discuss the importance of this topic with your own opinions, including textual evidence (direct quotes) from the book. 


To be honest every chapter has been inspiring. If I had to choose one of them it would probably be The Forth Tuesday when they talked about the death. I personally don't like it because they talked about death but because of a statement Morrie made "most of us all walk around as if we're sleepwalking." So this is basically saying that we are so caught up in are normal day lives that we don't fully appreciate life. it might sound kind of weird at first but when you start thinking about it you actually start realizing that you are not living life to the fullest. This quote also stuck to me because I personally can relate what I mean by this is that some day’s I just wake up, go to school, do my homework, watch TV/practice, then go to sleep. That is not living life to the fullest when I think of living life to the fullest I think of going on adventures, pushing myself, and having a family. Right now I don't feel like that’s being complete I know I cant start my own family right now but the pushing myself and adventures part I feel like I should be completing. I feel like this is true because I live a very simple life right know maybe when I grow older my life might become more interesting but this quote really got me thinking about it. 

The next most inspiring chapter is the Family chapter. What Morrie says in this chapter really hit me hard it really got me thinking. He says "without love we are birds with broken wings". I think this quote effected so much because it is so true love is one of the main things that drive a person to live. To find love is one of the main goals in a persons life. So to not have must make someone feel like they like they have not place in this world. These are the two most inspiring chapters in this books so far.
