In "Tuesdays with Morrie," Mitch Albom explores the concept that we often go through life in a daze, performing tasks out of habit rather than mindfulness. This automatic way of living prevents us from truly experiencing the richness of the world around us. It suggests that our daily routines can dull our senses and limit our engagement with life's deeper meanings.

Morrie expresses that confronting death can awaken us from this slumber, encouraging individuals to prioritize what truly matters. By facing mortality, we are compelled to reflect on our values and relationships, allowing us to focus on the essential aspects of life and appreciate each moment more fully.
