Tuesdays with Morrie

I think people are more afraid than they may realize or admit to themselves. I didn't realize I was scared of some things until they happened but then there's no going back you have to move forward like falling in love but it's a good kind of scared. I'm not entirely sure how much I agree with Morrie though he sounded incredibly insightful. Maybe it's just that I don't understand him yet like Mich getting nervous he didn't understand some of Morrie's lessons/sayings and what if he never did? What if he failed? Except he didn't fail because Janine saw him become a different person and he put his work more off to the side. His work consumed his life so much and for so long he lost who he really was and you can see he finally realized that when chasing after that celeb and his mistress. When Mich dies would his life be more significant by chasing after them? No. But by chasing after and pursuing Janine he could have a family and a completely different life, one that actually meant something. Though Mich was dependent on no one he learned to put more faith in Morrie and Janine in the end and it made a HUGE difference in his life.
