Love
vs
death
“
An old man , a young man ,
and life
’
s greatest
lesson.
”
This sentence from
the cover
of
a
book
named
Tuesdays
with
Morrie
which
was
written
by
Mitch
Albom .
The
novel makes me feel curious . The story
is about an old professor Morrie found he got
a serious illness and would died . He
appointed with his student Mitch to have
life
’
s
lesson
every Tuesday until Morrie die . Morrie said:
“
No grades were given , but
there
were
oral
exams
each
week .
You
were
expected
to
respond
to
questions
,
and
you
were expected to pose
questions of your own
??
No books were required , yet many
topics
were
covered
,
including
love
,
work
,
community
,
family
,
death
??
”
(Alb
om
,1)
Morrie
said
in
a
placid
,
genial
,
and
facetious
voice .
He
always
talk about death in a peace mood , which attitude
should be admired .
Everyone should love their life .
Morrie gave an image about perfect day .
“
What if you had
one day perfectly healthy , I asked? What would
you do?
‘
Twenty-four
hours?
’
Twenty-
four hours .
‘
Let
’
s
see
??
I
’
d get up in the morning , do my exercises , have
a lovely breakfast of
sweet
rolls and tea , go for a swim ,then have my
friends come over for a nice lunch .
I
’
d have them
come one or two at a time so we could talk about
their families , their
issues , talk
about how much we mean to each other .
Then
I
’
d
like
to
get
for
a
walk
,
in
a
garden
with
some
trees
,
watch
their
colors ,
watch the birds , take in the nature
that I haven
’
t seen in so
long now .
In the evening ,
we
’
d all go together to a
restaurant with some great pasta , maybe
some duck---I love duck---and then
we
’
d dance the rest of the
night . I
’
d dance with
all the wonderful dance partners out
there , until I was exhausted . And then
I
’
d go
home and
have a deep , wonderful sleep .
’
That
’
s it?
‘
That
’
s
it .
’
”

It
is
a
simple
day
,
simple
life
style
,
but
most
of
people unwilling to
do that . Every day will have fun , if
someone believe . Well ,
have
a
lunch
with
families
or
friends
,
it
doesn
’
t
hard
to
do .
They
don
’
t
mind
the
cooking
style
,
they
care
about
the
love
and
the
warming
atmosphere .
When
a
person is
tired , he should look at the sky , walk in a
field , and get the fresh air , he
will
feel
relaxed . Whether happy or not
, dance for oneself until
exhausted , don
’
t
care about whose laughing , and then
have a great sleep . Why not? It can be a perfect
day .
Morrie
faced
death
peacefully .
Because
of
deteriorated
condition
,
Morrie
lost
his
ability
on
provided
himself
,
such
as
turned
over
his
body
on
the
bed
at
night
,
adjusted the sitting
position from time to time by himself , eating and
so on . All of
these things needed to
depend on his family . Whole body of Morrie were
amyotrophy
gradually .
At
the
final
period
of
him
,
he
looked
at
his
muscular
atrophy
and
did
nothing
.
However
,
Morrie
said:
“
I
t
’
s
like
going
back
to
being
a
child
again
.
Someone to bathe you ,
someone to lift you , someone to wipe you . We all
know how
to
be
a
child .
It
’
s
inside
all
of
us .
For
me
,
it
’
s
just
remembering
how
to
enjoy
