Hi, everyone:) Today I watched the movie ”Tuesdays with Morrie” at home. I was vey moved, so I'd like to recommend it to you.
The Third Tuesday: We Talk About Regrets
Mitch arrived with a Sony tape recorder because he wanted to remember what he and Morrie talk about. Morrie willingly accepted it. Mitch turned on the tape recorder and they started to discuss regrets.
The Fourth Tuesday: We Talk about Death
Here in Morrie's office, life went on one precious day at a time. Now Morrie and Mitch sat together, a few feet from the newest addition: an oxygen machine. It was small and portable, about knee-high.
"Everyone knows they're going to dye," Morrie said, "but nobody believes it. If we did, we would do things differently."
"So we kid ourselves about death," Mitch said.
"Yes. But there's a better approach. To know you're going to die, and to prepare for it at any time. That's better. That way you can actually be more involved in your life while you're living," Morrie said.
"How can you ever be prepared to die?" Mitch asked.
"Do what the Buddhists do. Every day, have a little bird on your shoulder that asks, 'Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?' " Morrie said, "The truth is, Mitch, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live."
Mitch nodded.
These Morrie's words moved me deeply and I thought his idea about death was wonderful. I'm looking forward to reading next story!
