“Someone who saw you as a raw but precious thing … that could be polished to be a proud shine”, that was how Morrie and Mitch bonded.
Morrie, a professor, saw special things inside Mitch, a student then and sixteen years later they found each other again.
He found Morrie through the Night-line show, with daunting headline – “A Professor’s Final Course: His Own Death”
Mitch has lost himself in the merciless culture, lost his dreams and became slave to economy. Ever seeking for more materialistic things – begin to accept subsitutes, ’substitutes’ for love. His career collapsed one day and he was stunned how easily things when on without him. Depressed, he reached out to his ‘coach’, Morrie.
He flew weekly to Morrie and witnessed how he fast Morrie withered away, but his character shone on more brightly. “We can die without every really going away… all the love you have created is still there. You live on.”
Tuesdays with Morrie, taught Mitch life’s lessons, compassion and responsibility towards each other, and the community we lived in.
“Seek Success or Simplicity, Just Say No or Just Do It?” Until we can find perfection in an average day and see the inherent good in people, we shall know.
