Away.
How about family ? ¨Family¨. ¨He mulled it over for a moment .¨ Well ,you see mine, around me¨.(91) Morrie really didn't have a family growing up ¨ His mom died and his brother had polio he couldn't walk anymore, and had no money ¨.(74) Next is culture he talks about just a little bit of culture. If the culture doesn’t work , don’t buy it create your own. “But it was also becoming clear to me through his courage his humor, his patience, and his openness that morrie was looking at life from some very different place than anyone else I knew . A healthier place. A more sensible
place. “Mitch?” he said ,”the culture doesn’t encourage you to think about such things until you're about die . Where wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family , getting a new car, fixing the radiator when it breaks. Morrie and Mitch talks about forgiveness it’s always great to forgive someone.
“Forgive yourself before you die . Then forgive others”. “ There is no point in keeping vengeance or stubbornness . These things” he sighed “these things I so regret in my life.(164)
The importance of forgiving was my question . I had seen those movies where the patriarch of the family is on his deathbed and he calls for is estranged son so that he can make peace before he goes. I wondered if Morrie had any of that inside him,a sudden need to say “ I’m sorry” before he died.(165)
