Do I wither up and disappear, or do I make the best of my time left?.. He would not wither. He would not be ashamed of dying.
In "Tuesdays with Morrie," Mitch Albom explores deep themes of life and mortality through the conversations he has with his former professor, Morrie Schwartz. Morrie, facing a terminal illness, reflects on the choices one must make in the face of death. He poses a pivotal question about how to approach the end of life: whether to fade away or to embrace the time that remains meaningfully.
Morrie's resolve not to wither or feel shame in dying underscores a powerful message about acceptance and the importance of living fully. He encourages facing life's inevitable conclusion with courage and purpose, advocating for a life rich in love and connection rather than fear and regret.
