I totally agreed with Morrie when he said that people in our society put to much meaning to the wrong things in life, such as material objects.
"That my consciousness goes on... That I'm part of the universe"(199)
This quote was so powerful. It really reached out to me. Mind is still mind even after death. Just as water is still water even if you break the cup.
I recommend others to read this book. It will most likely change your perception on life. I know it did mine.
I thought the quote you pointed out in class, "you talk, I'll listen" was powerful. Simple and yet powerful. I'm striving to be a better listener myself, and feel like it is very important. So many of the lessons in the book are like that--simple, powerful & important.
