Love vs death

“An old man , a young man , and life’s greatest lesson.”This sentence from the cover of a book named Tuesdays with Morrie which was written by Mitch Albom . The novel makes me feel curious . The story is about an old professor Morrie found he got a serious illness and would died . He appointed with his student Mitch to have life’s lesson every Tuesday until Morrie die . Morrie said: “No grades were given , but there were oral exams each week . You were expected to respond to questions , and you were expected to pose questions of your own……No books were required , yet many topics were covered , including love , work , community , family , death……”(Albom ,1) Morrie said in a placid , genial , and facetious voice . He always talk about death in a peace mood , which attitude should be admired .

Everyone should love their life . Morrie gave an image about perfect day .

“What if you had one day perfectly healthy , I asked? What would you do?

‘Twenty-four hours?’

Twenty-four hours .

‘Let’s see……I’d get up in the morning , do my exercises , have a lovely breakfast of sweet rolls and tea , go for a swim ,then have my friends come over for a nice lunch . I’d have them come one or two at a time so we could talk about their families , their issues , talk about how much we mean to each other .

Then I’d like to get for a walk , in a garden with some trees , watch their colors , watch the birds , take in the nature that I haven’t seen in so long now .

In the evening , we’d all go together to a restaurant with some great pasta , maybe some duck---I love duck---and then we’d dance the rest of the night . I’d dance with all the wonderful dance partners out there , until I was exhausted . And then I’d go home and have a deep , wonderful sleep . ’

That’s it?

‘That’s it . ’”(Albom , 175--176)It is a simple day , simple life style , but most of people unwilling to do that . Every day will have fun , if someone believe . Well , have a lunch with families or friends , it doesn’t hard to do . They don’t mind the cooking style , they care about the love and the warming atmosphere . When a person is tired , he should look at the sky , walk in a field , and get the fresh air , he will feel relaxed . Whether happy or not , dance for oneself until exhausted , don’t care about whose laughing , and then have a great sleep . Why not? It can be a perfect day .

Morrie faced death peacefully . Because of deteriorated condition , Morrie lost his ability on provided himself , such as turned over his body on the bed at night , adjusted the sitting position from time to time by himself , eating and so on . All of these things needed to depend on his family . Whole body of Morrie were amyotrophy gradually . At the final period of him , he looked at his muscular atrophy and did nothing . However , Morrie said: “I t’s like going back to being a child again . Someone to bathe you , someone to lift you , someone to wipe you . We all know how to be a child . It’s inside all of us . For me , it’s just remembering how to enjoy
