In the book "Tuesdays with Morrie," author Mitch Albom recounts his visits with his former professor, Morrie Schwartz, who is battling ALS. Morrie's approach to life is refreshingly authentic and unpretentious. He believes in facing the reality of death without adornment or illusion, opting for simplicity over superficiality in how he presents himself, especially during an interview where many would seek to impress.

This philosophy reflects Morrie's deeper understanding of life and death. He argues that death should not be dressed up or made to appear glamorous, as it is a natural part of existence. By refusing to hide behind fancy clothing or makeup, Morrie emphasizes the importance of honesty and acceptance in confronting mortality. He advocates for an authentic approach to life's inevitable end, encouraging others to do the same.
