The meaning of life is so many different feelings to many people. The purpose of life is to find what you are looking for. Morrie taught us so many lessons about his purpose regarding love. He taught us about work, community, family, forgiveness, and death. This is exactly why his work is so essential. He doesn’t want any of us to live a meaningless life. I believe that the best way to learn the meaning of life is to follow our heart. Morrie had so much knowledge and taught so many lessons regarding being yourself and accepting who you are.

(p.163) Kindness can be a difficult gift to give at times; however every time I was shown kindness, no matter how minor, I felt immensely grateful. Kindness is a great gift to receive and to give others. We all have a choice to be kind, and we offer that choice many times a day. Sometimes though, it is hard to help someone. Not everyone is kind and this makes it hard to offer yourself to help if people act like they don’t appreciate it. I can image Morrie would reply with these words, Do it anyway! Look out for others.

I would gladly seek his words to help me understand the thoughts of our Leaders.
