Mitch Albom reflects on the precious nature of time in his book "Tuesdays with Morrie." He admires Morrie's ability to focus on what truly matters, contrasting it with society’s tendency to get lost in distractions. Albom expresses a sense of envy towards Morrie's quality of time, particularly as he faces its inevitable end.

This realization prompts Albom to question the way people prioritize their lives, often wasting moments in pursuit of trivial affairs that benefit others. He urges readers to consider the value of their own time and choose more meaningful engagements, rather than getting caught in the complexities of distraction and drama.
