Mitch Albom's "Tuesdays with Morrie" explores deep human connections, particularly through the lens of suffering. The protagonist, Morrie, discusses how personal hardship enhances his empathy for others in pain. He reveals that experiencing his own suffering has given him a profound understanding of the anguish of others, creating an emotional bond even with strangers.

This shift in perspective allows Morrie to feel an instinctive connection to those who are also enduring challenges. His words highlight the universal nature of suffering, suggesting that it can bring people together and foster a sense of belonging and understanding that transcends individual experiences.
