Something to think about
“Morrie had aging in a better perspective”
“All this emphasis on youth - I don’t buy it” he said. “Listen I know what a misery being young can be, so don’t tell me it’s so great. All these kids who came to me with their struggles, their strife, their feelings of inadequacy, their sense that life was miserable, so bad that the wanted to kill themselves….”
“And in addition to all their miseries, the young are not wise. They have very little understanding about life who want’s to live everyday when you don’t know what’s going on? When people are manipulating you, telling you to buy this perfume and you’ll be beautiful or this pair of jeans and you’ll be sexy - and you belive them! It’s such nonsense”
