As I flourished in my naivety‚ I was unaware that the people I trusted‚ whom I believed to be wholly dedicated to our well-being as a society‚ could betray

On the fourth Tuesday‚ they talked about death. Death is certain. We all know that we will die. But what makes Morrie different from us? If we all know that we are dying‚ why only Morrie‚ at the least‚ has had a strong resolution to tell his story and make the most of his remaining time? It is because he believed it.
