Prompt: Based on the 6 Tuesdays you have read about in Tuesdays with Morrie, choose which topic (The World, Feeling Sorry For Yourself, Regrets, Death, Family, or Emotions) that has had the most impact on you or inspired you. On your blog discuss the importance of this topic with your own opinions, including textual evidence (direct quotes) from the book.
The Tuesday that has had the most impact on me is the Fifth Tuesday, which talks about family. It has really had an impact on me because it really shows how important family is to a person. It made me think how much my life would be different if I didn't have my family. All of my support would be gone because they are the one's who support me the most. They have always been there for me when I'm down and they help me move on with life. My family has taught me so much throughout my life and honestly I don't know what I would do without them. Even when they aren't around me sometimes I know that they will always support me. My family is really a big part of my life.
Morrie made me realize how important my family really is to me because there are some people out there in the world who have lost all of their family members or their family is getting separated. It's made me realize how lucky I really am to have such a loving family because without them I would be nothing. On page 91, Morrie said,"If you don't have the support and love and caring and concern you get from a family, you don't have much at all." I agree with this quote a lot because if you have the support and love from a family then you really don't have anything at all. Money will never buy you the support and love a family will. I really find this important because some people put money before love and family, and I honestly think that's a huge mistake.
Another thing that Morrie made me realize is how I have that "spiritual security" from my family. Even when my family isn't around me I know that I will always have their love and support no matter what. On page 92, Morrie says,"This is part of what a family is about, not just love, but letting others know there's someone who is watching out for them... what I call 'spiritual security'- knowing that your family will be there watching out for you." I can really connect with this quote because as I've said it before I feel that "spiritual security" between me and my family. I think it is really important for everyone to have that because it will help you know that there will always be someone looking out for you and willing to help you out. Everyone should have that "spiritual security" with their families so that they never feel alone when they aren't with their families.
