Some Lessons From Morrie
The Lesson On Emotions
Morrie's reason for teaching this lesson to Mitch in the book was because he believed Mitch needed to learn this lesson. Morrie says on page 105 "Turn on the faucet. Wash yourself with the emotion. It wont hurt you. It will only help you." Now what does that quote mean? What Morrie is trying to say is that it is healthier and better if you let your emotions out. There for the lesson in this is to not bottle your emotion but to let them out after all "it wont hurt you".
The Lesson On Marriage
The reason for this life lesson was to help Mitch as well as others learn the answer to what many wonder how to have a happy marriage as well as relationship. In fact Morrie says on page 149 "There are a few rules I know to be true about love and marriage: If you don't respect the other person, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you don't know how to compromise, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. If you can't talk openly about what goes on between you, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. And if you don't have a common set of values in life, you're gonna have a lot of trouble. Your values must be alike." So what does he mean by this? Morrie is saying that in order to have a better or good marriage as well as relationship not only must you try but you need to be able to do certain things such as compromise. Additionally not only must you compromise you must have either similar values or values that are the same.
The Lesson On Regrets/Forgiveness
The lesson on regrets is yet another great life lesson on life as well as death. Morrie explains in the book that it is normal to have regrets but we should not hold on to them in death. Morrie says on page 164 "Forgive yourself before you die. Then forgive others." What does he mean by this? Morrie is telling Mitch not to hold grudges and to forgive yourself as well as others before you die.
The Lesson On Death
In the book Morrie teaches Mitch about death and how you should not be afraid of death. Morrie explains to Mitch what "Death ends a life that, not a relationship" and how even when Morrie dies Mitch can come visit him as well as talk to as Morrie said "You talk I'll lesson,". Morrie said on page 81 "Do what the Buddhist do. Every day, have a little bird on your shoulder that asks, 'Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?' " Morrie is saying that each day we should ask ourselves theses questions because we should treat everyday as if it was our last.
