Some of these things I understand, some I do not. It makes no difference. The discussions give me an excuse to talk to him, fatherly conversations I cannot have with my father, who would like me to be a lawyer.

In Mitch Albom's "Tuesdays with Morrie," the narrator reflects on the conversations he shares with Morrie Schwartz, which serve as a significant connection and a source of wisdom. Although he grasps certain concepts presented by Morrie, he acknowledges that some ideas remain elusive to him. Nonetheless, these discussions provide a valuable opportunity for him to engage in meaningful dialogues.

Through these exchanges, the narrator confronts his own life choices and the pressures imposed by societal expectations, particularly from his father, who envisions him pursuing a conventional career as a lawyer. This longing for fatherly conversations underscores the emotional depth of their interactions, highlighting the importance of mentorship and the sharing of life's lessons.

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.
