Tuesday with morrie...
Completed the book in camp due to my overly excessive free time. People say its a good book, but somehow i felt that the term used is wrong.
The time you take to finish reading the book may be like say a few hours, but it takes quite awhile to fully digest it. Some of the stuff written inside is quite interesting, the thoughts of a dying man, and quite a wise man. I think most of the stuff that he said trying to enlighten others is just plain common sense, deep down inside many will feel the same way.
Tensions of opposite, i always referred to my "tension of opposite" as a struggle between light and dark. Push and pull, yin and yang, i guessed its the same thing. Afterall i believed in balance in the world, and we should constantly strive to maintain this balance.
Money not everything? Well i would have agreed with this very strongly a few years back, but now i'm not so sure. It may not be everything, but it's still something. Doing meaningful things? Sure, but family still comes first, its an obligation. Anyway this meaningful thing is very subjective also, i think its just personal preference.
I truly wonder if reader's perspective and attitude changed after reading that book. Somehow it feels like its not very possible. He can go on and on and say about things that he feels is important that people should know, but the thing is people already know that deep down inside. Maybe these are just the thoughts and view from a dying man, and you may never get to truly understand it until you become one.
Love each other or perish?
Hope, that's what humans can do...
