In the beginning of life, when we are infants, we need others to survive, right? And at the end of life, when you get like me, you need others to survive, right?' His voice dropped to a whisper. 'But here's the secret: in between, we need others as well.

In "Tuesdays with Morrie," Morrie Schwartz emphasizes the importance of human connection throughout all stages of life. He highlights that from the moment we are born, we rely on others for our survival. This dependency doesn't fade away as we grow; rather, it transforms and remains essential. As we age, we again find ourselves needing others, particularly in our later years when life's challenges resurface.

Morrie's insight reveals a profound truth: the need for relationships is a constant throughout life. He suggests that cultivating and valuing these connections is crucial not only for survival but for a fulfilling existence. The message resonates with the idea that loneliness can affect anyone, regardless of their stage in life, making it clear that nurturing our relationships is vital for overall well-being.

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.
