Perhaps death is the greatest equalizer
by Mitch Albom
(0 Reviews)

"Tuesdays with Morrie" by Mitch Albom explores the profound lessons on life and death taught by Morrie Schwartz, a former professor who is terminally ill. The book revolves around their weekly meetings, where they discuss various life topics, including love, work, family, and the importance of human connection. Morrie’s wisdom is deeply rooted in his acceptance of death, which he sees as a critical element in appreciating life.

One significant quote from the book reflects this idea: "Perhaps death is the greatest equalizer." Morrie suggests that death levels all people, eliminating societal status and wealth, reminding us that our time on earth is limited. Through their conversations, Albom emphasizes the necessity of living authentically and embracing our shared humanity, encouraging readers to cherish relationships and confront their own mortality.

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.
