In Tuesdays with Morrie, Morries talks to Mitch about the way our society lives today and what standards we base our lives off of. He says that we shouldn't "buy into society" but live independently and the way we want to. Morrie also says that we should not center our lives around material possesions, but around people and human relationships. The items we buy can only last for so long, but the connection with a person can last a lifetime.
I definately feel like Morrie's words and wisdom have altered my outlook on life. Now, instead of just hearing the cliche "live your life to the fullest" and letting it run through one ear and out the other, I'm actually listening. I heard what Morrie had to say and I am convinced of it. I want to put aside all the pointless objects that have held my affection for so long and listen to the world and people around me.
