If you hold back on the emotions--if you don't allow yourself to go all the way through them--you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid.

(0 Reviews)

In "Tuesdays with Morrie," Mitch Albom shares profound insights from his mentor, Morrie Schwartz. One key idea is the importance of embracing emotions rather than suppressing them. Morrie emphasizes that holding back feelings prevents individuals from reaching a state of emotional detachment, causing them to be overwhelmed by fear instead.

This perspective encourages readers to confront and process their emotions fully. By going through emotional experiences without fear, individuals can achieve a healthier, more balanced mental state and learn to let go of their anxieties, ultimately leading to personal growth and greater peace of mind.

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.
