Tuesdays With Morrie

I like the movie Tuesdays with Morrie. I thought it was great at showing how even as you get older, you should still be looking at the world with a beginners mind. When the main character saw Morrie on TV and found out he had ALS, it made him think about the promise he had made to Morrie that he hadn't followed through with becuase of work. When he went and visited Morrie it reminded him of all the good times that they had together. The main character didn't realize all that he was missing out on until he went and started visiting Morrie every Tuesday. Morrie helped him see the world from a different perspective, helped him relax and not be so busy with work. The main character lost the love of his life at one point because all he had cared about work, and everything he did was on a deadline, and you just can't live like that, which is what Morrie made him see. Even in Morrie's last few months he helped the main character see what he was doing with his life, and that it needed to change. He needed to take a break and focus on the important things/people otherwise he was going to lose them. This was what I thought was one of the most important lessons in this movie becuase if you don't take a second to look around at your life every once and a while you'll miss out on all the good things in life.
