Happiness

After we watched "Tuesdays with Morrie" how our society views happiness. yea we might say we are content with ourselves because we have money and we have a stable job. But in reality so many people are not happy because American's are overworked. We have no time for ourselves anymore. We are all about being successful and being the best. In order to be happy our mentality is based off being number one, if we come in second we act like its the end of the world. As Morrie said "What's wrong with being number 2?" Despite what happened to Morrie he still lived life to the fullest. He enlightened those who needed enlightment and he taught people how to live. His friend Mitch was a typical American business man who was always working and never had time for himself until he started talking to Morrie again. Morrie showed and explained to him how much enriching and fulfilling it is to be alive and to enjoy being accompanied by loved ones. I think Morrie's life lessons should be honored and rememebered by everyone

Glad you saw that message in the movie. How do you think it applies to the your life or the lives of your peers?

I agree with you. Money shouldn't be everything. People need to find happiness with the people they love and not with the objects they need. Family should always come first.
