Book: The greatest lesson of life, or Tuesdays with Morrie



In our country, the brainwashing is in full swing. <...> I know how to do this? Are you tired of the same thing a hundred times in a row. So we have happening. To have things good. More money - good. More property is good. More is good. <...> A simple man that absolutely besotted, and he can not understand, what is really important in life. <...> These people crave love, and settle for a surrogate. They with open arms rush towards material values and expect something similar from them. And the trick does not work. Not wealth to replace love, tenderness or a sense of camaraderie. Tenderness not substitute for money and not replace the government.

When people ask me, should have kids or not, I never give advice, said Morrie, looking at the photo of his eldest son. - I just say, "There's nothing better than having children." And that's all. And that there is no substitute. This will not replace neither friend nor lover. If you want to gain experience of full responsibility for another human being and want to learn how to love and the deepest intimacy, then have children.

After all, we differ from plants and animals. To tech long as we love each other and maintain that feeling of love, we are dying, don't disappear. Tenderness is not dying. Memories don't die. You continue to live in everyone's heart, whose life at the time, touched with love and care.
