Tuesdays with Morrie ..

Do we really realize that our time is limited on this earth. We the humans are born with a expiry date & shelf life. Still we are too busy in stealing those things that has nothing to do with fulfilling our lives.

That Villa, that swanky car, that one night in club,. Do these things really makes us happy?
that's all we live for? How often we just procrastinate that dinner with our family just to give the best presentation next morning in office, how often we just skip that weekend with friends for that business trip & Client meeting, how often we skip that forgiveness just to save our egos.

And on the death bed, after everything we just realize, the time has gone, where are we, where are the people??

Life goes like a moment, and that moment that we actually spent loving others and receiving that love only remains.

Tuesdays With Morrie.. 

What a book it was, Mitch the our generation guy, too much engrossed in earning those dollars, moving to bigger better houses, buying that another car, spending almost every moment in work, writing articles and following sports, as we all are.

We all had that dream to follow our heart rather than getting lost in the rat race of the world. Money. power, fame, society, we often get lost in the zeal of building and achieving those dreams that actually was never the real goal. And, even after achieving everything we are peace less, not happy, empty.

& then this old man Morrie, too sick, too tired, and knows his end, knows the fact that he might skip that next breath, and might die at any time. Cannot move his body, cannot do any of his personal work. Totally dependent on others for anything & everything.
Still happy, STILL CONTENDED.

I learnt what my generation is actually loosing to have, and what the actual treasure is. We are used to of substituting our real happiness by buying that material things for the market. We keep on cursing every moment even after having that healthy living, sitting & working for 9 hours and doing the stuff we don't like & appriciate. We cannot even afford to have and share happiness with our buddies just because of the choices we make every now and then.

Life is all about choices and priorities, who cares whether Sachin actually made the century or not, how could it even effect our lives, but we the people kill our time, our supper and everything to follow him religiously.

Tuesdays with Morrie is a kind of book that everyone of our generation must read, so that they can actually differentiate between living the life & counting breath.
