tuesdays with morrie
Just finished reading this book Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom. It is a true story about the author's last lesson with his dying professor Morrie Schwartz, 16 years after they last saw each other at Mitch's college graduation.This final class is on meaning of life, topics include the world, feeling sorry for yourself, regrets, death, family, emotions, aging, money, love, marriage, culture, forgiveness, and saying goodbye.
One paragraph I find quite meaningful (actually the whole book is meaningful):
If you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you don't know how to compromise, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you can't talk openly about what goes on between you, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. And if you don't have a common set of values in life, you're gonna have a lot of trouble.
Life is so troublesome.

I read both.
Personally I preferred "The 5 Pple You Meet In Heaven".
It was somewhat more truthful.
I don't mean to discredit Mitch, but I felt Tuesday with Morrie was an ideal situation.
Not every old man gets cared so well when they're dying.

hmm for Tuesday with Morrie, the central idea is "old man dying" or "dying old man's wisdom"?
well, it is true also that not all old men are as wise.. no?
