But then I got over it because life goes on and you have to enjoy the time you have with the people you love. By me doing this I realized I threw myself into different emotions that would benefit me and I changed my life. Another lesson that Morrie taught about life was about the fear of aging.
Morrie believes that if people always stay 22 they will always be ignorant and they won't become wiser and by aging people go through more. People gain more knowledge by going through life. ¨If youŕe always battling against getting older, you're always going to be unhappy, because it will happen anyhow.(Albom 118-119) People fear about aging because they don't want to die. I learned that I don't like the idea of getting older because once you get old your parents are gonna die. I don't like that I will be losing people as I´m getting older. An experience I have is that when I was 14 my grandpa died from natural causes and I haven't seen him in about 12 years and I didn't remember him and now I don't have anything to remember him by. So then I realized that as I got older I am going to lose more people in my
life. Another lesson that Morrie teaches about life is money. Morrie believes that people do not need money to be happy and all these things that come with money doesn´t replace love and kindness. Morrie also says that love is way more important than money and power because you don't need Money to be happy. ¨Money is not a substitute for tenderness, and power is not a substitute for tenderness (Albom 123)¨ By having money, power comes with it and people get caught up then they realize they don't have real love surrounding them. I´m not rich I know how it is to not have money but we loved each other but when money was given to me I started to notice changes in my life. But by having more money that separated my family more and we realized everything we did wrong and noticed that we lost ourselves for a minute. By talking about emotions, the fear of aging, money Morrie teaches valuable lessons to mitch and the people. In one of the topics called emotions morrie says that we have to learn how to detach from emotions so we can enjoy life. The next topic is the fear of aging morrie believes that people should not be focused on that because by them getting older they gain more wisdom; instead of staying at a young age and being ignorant. The last topic was money Morrie believes that money and power is not a substitute for love and kindness. All these fears described in this essay are illusions so Morrie teaches you to live your life as happy as you can.
