Mitch, it is impossible for the old not to envy the young. But the issue is to accept who you are and revel in that. This is your time to be in your thirties. I had my time to be in my thirties, and now is my time to be seventy-eight.
In "Tuesdays with Morrie," Mitch Albom shares wisdom from Morrie Schwartz about the natural feelings of envy that older generations might have towards the youth. Morrie emphasizes the importance of embracing one’s current stage in life instead of longing for the past. He acknowledges that it can be challenging but suggests that fulfillment comes from accepting the present moment.
Morrie reflects on his experience of aging, pointing out that every phase of life has its own value. He encourages Mitch to appreciate his thirties, just as he valued his own experiences at that age. This perspective highlights the significance of enjoying each life stage and understanding that every age has its unique gifts.
