Life's Greatest Lesson Morrie Schwartz was an intelligent and interesting senior who touched many people, especially Mitch Albom. Morrie passed on much of his knowledge in the last months of his life, due to amyotrophic lareral sclerosis (ALS). This article will cover Morrie's philosophy of life, what he believes is important and valuable, as well as the struggles and problems of life. I will also compare Morrie's message with other philosophies and also give my opinion on Morrie's theory of human nature and philosophy of life. Morrie's philosophy of life is full of many ideas and to understand it better it is easier to break it down into parts. One of the philosophies was to love family and be more open about your emotions so you don't regret it when you or a loved one dies. Another of Morrie's philosophies is to be open to forgiveness. The following quote shows how Morrie regrets not forgiving one of his closest friends. "Over the years I met Norman a few times and he always tried to reconcile, but I didn't accept it. I wasn't satisfied with his explanation. I was proud. Mitch...a few years ago...died of cancer I was never able to forgive him" (Albom p. 166). That quote showed how Morrie deeply regrets not forgiving his friend, for something he should have, and how not forgiving him will bother him for the rest of his life. Another part of Morrie's philosophy has to do with culture. The following quote shows how strongly he felt about the way Americans should live. "You start to think of money as a god. It's all part of this culture... The little things I can obey. But the big things - how we think, what we value - you have to choose those yourself. You can't let anyone or any company determine... half of the paper... Morrie would like to help this person, he would like to answer their questions and help them find the answers He would agree with their need to find their answer and that they always want more, they always get the maximum out of life.To summarize this article I agree with Morrie and his view of human nature and his philosophy of life I think you should always value family and friends more than material You should also live life to the fullest and share your thoughts with others because you never know when you or the other person might not be around anymore As for adding anything to Morrie's ideas, I don't think I would philosophy would be good to live by and the main point to remember would be that you never know when the person you care about will be gone. So tell them how you feel about them and share your knowledge with everyone you can.
