Morrie might have died without ever seeing me again. I had no good excuse for this, except the one that everyone these days seems to have. I had become too wrapped up in the siren song of my own life. I was busy.
Mitch Albom reflects on his regrets about not visiting his mentor, Morrie, more often as Morrie faced terminal illness. He acknowledges that he had no valid reasons for his absence, attributing it to being consumed by his own life's distractions and responsibilities. This realization highlights the common struggle many face between personal ambitions and meaningful relationships.
The quote captures the essence of how life's busyness can often overshadow important connections. Albom's journey reveals the impact of prioritizing relationships and the importance of making time for those who matter, especially in moments of crisis. As he learned from Morrie, embracing these connections can bring profound insights and fulfillment.
