Tuesdays with Morrie

I'm currently reading a book that's entitled Tuesdays with Morrie. It was written by Mitch Albom, who is a writer for the Detroit Free Press. It's an interesting book very much like the Purpose Driven Life book; the only difference is that this book has a story line in it.

These are some of the dialogues that Morrie -- one of the main character of the book:

----- "Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted even when you know you should never take anything for granted." 
                                                                                           
----- "Love wins. Love always wins"

----- "The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it."

----- "So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."

----- "Love is the only rational act"

----- "Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel. And if we ever are going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too, even when you're in the dark. Even when you're falling."


I think we could all relate to these dialogues at some point in our lives. 
 
Take Care y'all.
