But I do know we're deficient in some way. We are too involved in materialistic things, and they don't satisfy us. The loving relationships we have, the universe around us, we take these things for granted.

In "Tuesdays with Morrie," Mitch Albom reflects on the tendency of people to prioritize material possessions over meaningful relationships and experiences. The character Morrie emphasizes that despite the pursuit of material wealth, individuals often feel a sense of deficiency and dissatisfaction. This realization suggests that true fulfillment is found not in things, but in the connections we foster with others and the appreciation of the world around us.

Morrie's insights point to a universal truth: that love, relationships, and the beauty of life are often overlooked in the daily hustle for more possessions. The author urges readers to reconsider their values, highlighting that it's the intangible aspects of life that provide real joy and satisfaction. By acknowledging our neglect of these important elements, we can strive for a more balanced and fulfilling existence.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
