In "Tuesdays with Morrie," the author Mitch Albom illustrates how Morrie Schwartz chooses to confront his mortality. Rather than avoiding the reality of death, Morrie embraces it and decides to make it the focal point of his life. He sees value in sharing his experiences and insights about dying, believing that understanding death can enrich the lives of others.

Morrie's perspective transforms his illness into an opportunity for education. He views himself as a living example, a type of textbook through which others can learn about life and its inevitable end. By inviting others to witness his gradual decline, he aims to impart wisdom and encourage deeper conversations about life's most profound topics.
