We avoid silence all the time without realising that silence, solitude, and loneliness are a gift to humankind. “Why are we embarrassed by silence? What comfort do we find in all the noise?” Professor Morrie was absolutely right. But, if we don’t have the privilege to do what we love, we must learn to love what we do. On the contrary, you’ll be overwhelmed with what comes back.”Professor Morrie clearly stated that we must do what we love. When you do, you won’t be dissatisfied, you won’t be envious, you won't be longing for somebody else’s things. “Do the kind of things that come from the heart.He said, “Love is the only rational act.” After stating about one of the purest, yet the most adulterated emotion, Professor Morrie aptly cleared it out that love is the very base of humanity, and without love, this universe cannot survive. But, a wise man named Lenin said it right. We think, if we let it in, we’ll become too weak. “The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and how to let it come in.The way you get meaning in your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.” Professor Morrie, with this statement, threw light on how in order to achieve happiness and satisfaction, we must devote ourselves to the greater cause which could be to preserve humanity. This is because they’ve been chasing the wrong things. They seem half-asleep, even when they’re busy doing things they think are important. “So many people walk around with a meaningless life.And most of us live somewhere in the middle.”After reading this monologue by Professor Morrie, I honestly took a few seconds break to realise that we, humans, have made our lives complicated, and because of our self-created problems, we suffer. A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn’t. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. “Life is a series of pulls back & forth.Therefore, below given are some of the lessons which Morrie taught me while he was giving personal life lessons to his student, Mitch Albom. While reading this book, I came across a lot of lessons, which were universal in nature, but still, were of great importance. Let’s give it a try.” And like this, I started reading “Tuesdays With Morrie”. You won’t like it.” But somewhere I was also thinking, “The title has a name in it. Honestly, just when I started reading this book, in my mind I was thinking, “Drop it! It might be boring. In this book, Albom and his professor, Morrie, meet on every Tuesday, to have “adult conversations”, and Morrie gives lessons to his student on “how to live”. This book was written back in the year 1997 as a memoir by the Author to his former sociology professor, Morrie Schwartz, who died of Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Therefore, the book which became my personal guide is– “Tuesdays With Morrie” by Mitch Albom. So, I am going to talk about the book which I bought randomly and later realised that it is the exact book for which I was yearning for years. Instead, you realise that it is the kind of book which would help you in understanding what an enigma life is. Interestingly, that book is the one which you bought in a hurry from the bookstore because your parents were being impatient as you are taking so long to purchase “that one perfect book”.īut, once you start reading that book which you bought under pressure, you realise that it is not the book which you should keep aside and allow the dust particles to make their new home on the cover-page. Sometimes in life you come across a book which has answers to all your unasked questions.
