Tuesdays WIth Morrie (pgs. 47-97), Week 3, Post B

Dear Mitch,

You have really written a truly amazing and moving book. I can’t believe how much it has changed my views on life so quickly. I think that it’s so cool that you stumbled across your old professor by chance on TV one night. I mean, what a coincidence! What if you had been out doing something that night, making you unable to casually flip through the channels? Would you ever have thought about your old college professor again? Would you have looked him up to go see how he was? What if that thought came too late? You would have never seen him again. Your life might be completely different right now if that had been the case. You must feel so privileged to know someone like that so closely. I would have felt so honored and lucky to know him. Morrie sounds like a truly astonishing and great guy. Have you completely changed your outlook on life because of Morrie? I think that if I had known someone like this, my whole entire life would change. I would treat people differently. I would also spend my time differently. I think that I’d spend time doing things that were really important to me, like being with the people I loved and cared about. I would also do more things on the spur-of-the-moment. I wouldn’t waste my time doing things that I could consider less important to me. From what I have read in your book so far, it sounds like you have adopted these theories too. Which makes a lot of sense; because you personally talked with the man who wished he had done that sort of thing more often. Thank you for writing this book. It has changed my view of the world already, and I’m only on page 97.
