my first Memoir that I've ever read. Such a light short but deep book.
Morrie suffered from ALS (a deadly incurable disease) but he wasn't afraid of death like anyone else, if there were someone else, I'm pretty sure they would have started overthinking to the point where they would gave gotten a heart attack, and the reason kf death would not be ALS but a cardiac arrest. Jokes aside, Morrie was brave, and world lost a gem like him. As Morrie said 'Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live', accepting the death needs courage that we lack. Morrie knew he was going to die but didn't stop living like actual LIVING, after every oain and becoming a burden on someone, he called himself lucky. He was an open hearted, happy old man. The book unfolds really important things like; your own self, regrets, death, family, fear of aging, marriage, culture, and forgiveness, as he said 'it is not just the people we need to forgive, we also need to forgive ourselves. For all the things we didn't do, all the thinfs we should have done. You can't get stuck on the regrets of what should have happened'. Morrie changed my perspective of marriage. And I liked his rules of love and marriage. I almost cried when he died, like I already knew it's going to happen but at the end it still hurt me :(
