In my opinion, whether you're reading a book, watching tv or just anything that involves someone OTHER than you, it's really easy NOT to be attentive to their situation. However, although it's not YOUR situation, if their situation somehow connects to yourself, you'd most likely then be interested in paying attention. This is exactly what happned to me as I started reading my new group book "Tuesdays with Morrie". I connected this book to death in my life, knowing how it felt to lose a loved one made it that much easier to get hooked on the story in this book.
So far in the book, one small part that really caught my attention was a point in which the main character, Mitch, was helping another character, Morrie, get into his chair. Once Mitch started to lift him, he described feeling the seeds of death at Morries touch. This to me is deep, because it shows that when it comes to death, the ones actually going through it aren't the only ones suffering, maybe they're suffering the most, but they're not the only ones.
his book so far has been a great read for me (which is saying something because im not much of reading books daily). So I look forward to see what other thoughts and ideas this book could have in store for me
