This sentence comes from "Tuesday and Morrie", which is a very enlightening book, and its influence will not be shocked. Unlike Blockbuster, it instantly fills the adrenal gland with horsepower, but it slowly penetrates into every corner of the heart like snake venom. The words are euphemistic, not melodramatic and fresh, and not full of online language, giving people a feeling of admiration, and you will read this book with admiration.
This book is recommended by the ESL course teacher and is also the content of his literature class. The two protagonists in it, Molly and Mickey, are talking about life, love, death and giving. Mickey, the author of this book, and the students also listened to Murray's teaching. On the other hand, Murray is a dying man. Every cell in him contains the seeds of death, and his student Mickey seems to inherit Murray's spirit every Tuesday.
The book holds that the material world is false, and people repeat the same boring content every day, leading themselves to the false world. The world advocated by Murray is full of love, giving, generosity and generosity. He likes everything small and happy, even though he had an unhappy childhood. He studies religion. He once put an invisible bird on his shoulder and asked like a Buddha, "Will I die today? Did I do what I should do? " Only his heart answered him.
Murray's heart is infinite. A few months before his death, he listened to others read letters to him and confided in them. He won't be bothered by his illness and other people's pain, but he thinks he is willing to give them his time. He has learned to separate, which the book calls detachment. He got rid of negative emotions, faced it bravely and said to himself, "This is my shame, and now I want to leave my shame."
You learn how to die, you learn how to live.
What is death after watching tuesdays with morrie 2? Fear, struggle? Or liberation and liberation?
I once had great illusions about "death". When I was a child, watching people die on TV, or some distant relatives die, my heart was always full of sighs and tears. At that time, I understood that death is a sad thing. When I was a little older, I heard that my grandfather was ill and my eyes were full of tears. I know that death is a terrible thing. Now, although I cry, I have another interpretation of death. That was after reading tuesdays with morrie.
Murray, a professor of social psychology, suffered from a disease called gradual freezing in his seventies. The disease begins with nerve paralysis in the leg and spreads upward bit by bit until people can no longer breathe. This is a cruel terminal illness-the soul will watch the body die bit by bit. But Murray decided to live quietly with dignity, courage and humor. He met Mickey, a student who was a columnist and journalist 0/6 years ago, and met every Tuesday to discuss "the meaning of life", including "death, fear, aging, desire, marriage, family, society, forgiveness and meaningful life". From the first meeting to the last meeting, this discussion lasted 14 weeks.
The old man had nothing to say before he died, just two simple sentences: the most important thing in life is to learn how to love others and accept love; Compassionate and responsible. As long as we learn these two points, the world will be much better.
Maybe it is. When the disease mercilessly devours such an old man who is indifferent to life but full of love around him, when death ruthlessly wants to put out this weak filament, the old man chooses to walk the last journey of life with laughter and optimism. Accept what you can and can't accept, admit the past, don't deny it, don't abandon it, learn to forgive yourself and others, and never say that life is too late. In the shadow of death, he wrote a few words about life.
Here, I have to admire the attitude of the elderly towards life, but for us, do we really have to wait until we are close to death to realize life? Since an old man wrote down his life feelings with his own life, why don't we start practicing and reflecting?
Walking at the end of 17 years old, we are experiencing the ups and downs brought by life, exploring the roads explored and unexplored by predecessors, placing unprecedented demands and hopes, and shouldering the heavy responsibility of building 2 1 century. Born at the end of the 20th century, are we always lamenting the ruthlessness of time and the injustice of fate? We are always full of rejections and complaints about many things. Some people squander their youth, some trample on life, and some people's eyes are always full of troubles, depression, intrigue and intrigue. It seems that these have flooded the whole society.
Don't underestimate yourself, the master of life will always be yourself. When we are overwhelmed by the pressure of life, when we are lost in Alan Yu, when we can't escape from the materialistic psychedelic world. What can make people see more clearly than death? What is death? Death is the truth. It doesn't matter if you break through the false prosperity and suddenly realize what others think of you or how you explore life yourself. It is important that you spend the time falling through your fingers like rain in a real way. You should know how you will live. This is what Annie said in Lotus.
I don't know what death really means, is it the end of one life or the beginning of another? Maybe I'm not qualified to talk about death yet. After all, it is too far away from me. It's just that we should live a good life from now on, know how to care for those who love you and those you love, know how to pay, know how to be responsible, know how to understand and know how to work hard.
Realm makes death full of charm.
Death purifies life. Zhibo
It is impossible to deeply understand the meaning of death only through a book, but we can get the meaning of death and even life through constant exploration and thinking. The author expanded the topic and touched the most vivid intuitive feeling in Tuesday with Meeting. Even if death is far away, we can still discuss "fear, aging, desire, marriage, family, society, forgiveness and meaningful life", and the author's thinking trend is worthy of recognition.
After reading the last word, I was silent. Yunchen asked me, "What do you think?" I didn't answer him. Because of the life story told by an old man with 78 years' experience and sentiment, I can't comment after reading it for hours. I just keep asking myself, if death befalls me, will I calmly accept and enjoy the process of death? Before death comes, am I qualified to smile and talk about love, marriage, aging, fear, forgiveness, regret, money and eternity to future generations? Many people were moved to tears after reading this realistic novel. But I didn't, really. Every nerve of mine is stiff and my chest hurts. I want to say something, but I don't know what to say.
My heart is not good again these days. I always dream about my dead relatives when I sleep. I'm a little confused. It is said that dreaming of dead relatives making out with them is that dead relatives are calling your soul. I think, is my life coming to an end soon? I also thought about what happened after my death, imagined who attended my funeral, and wanted to tell my relatives not to buy me clothes at the end of my life before I died, but to wear old clothes I like. I want to leave what I looked like before my death in the minds of my relatives, so that they can feel that I am still the same as when I was alive. But I never thought I could say to them, "Don't overcook me." .
Before, I also seriously thought about life, thought about how to take this life well, and tried to write some short articles about life sentiment. But after reading this book, I feel that my understanding of life is too superficial and my attitude towards life is too biased.
After learning that he was terminally ill, a social psychology professor in MoriSchwartz spent 14 Tuesdays giving his students the last lesson. He meditated on life from a prison-like bed and told people how to face life. He wrote immortal proverbs with his own pain and life.
"Give others warmth, give others what you should give, accept the reality, learn to be satisfied, surpass yourself and forgive others", these words that we have been saying before, from the mouth of an old man who is about to die, have become very heavy and weigh on my heart like a stone.
Murray gave a lecture at his home before he died, and only one student was mitch albom. They are not giving lectures, but talking about the meaning of life. The content includes talking about the world, culture, aging and fear, money and marriage. However, I feel that the theme they are talking about is a word "love", because with love, there is the last lesson before dying, and there is still a lot to discuss. It is love that makes the old man spend his whole life doing things that can help others and he thinks are meaningful until the last moment of his life.
This is not a book, this is a life. I finished reading it yesterday. Yesterday was Wednesday, and the date of meeting them was one day late. I don't think this motto of life can be read once. Keep reading, read it every Tuesday, as they agreed, so that Murray's voice will continue and think about why we always took more and paid less in the past. Think much, do little. Well said, well done. Think about how to "love".
Thoughts on Reading tuesdays with morrie 4 An Old Man, a Young Man, A Life Lesson. This sentence succinctly summarizes the content of tuesdays with morrie. The author of this book is a 70-year-old professor of social psychology who is terminally ill.
1994 when he knew that he was going to die soon, he made an appointment with his student, the famous columnist mitch albom, to give students the last lesson every Tuesday. The name of this course is life. The course lasted for fourteen weeks, and the last lesson was the funeral of the old man. After the death of the old man, Mickey compiled and published his speech and named it "Tuesday with Murray", which caused a sensation all over the world and made it on the best-seller list of American books for 40 weeks in a row. People read the eternal topics of life such as death, affection and affection, money and eternal love in Esperanto, and I read the deepest theme-gratitude. Old Murray faced death and watched his body shrink and die step by step.
He didn't vent his anger and dissatisfaction like other dying old people, or curse the sky; Or lament, let fear and pain accompany your life sooner or later. But bravely go to the world, go to the lecture hall where he left for many years, and let his students and the world listen to life with the eyes of an omniscient sociologist. Why do the elderly have such a healthy attitude? Because she is grateful to society. He wants to tell us how to look at our life tortured by fame and fortune.
At this time, Murray's eyes are brighter than ever. He sees through the world of mortals, the warmth of the world, and the warmth of human feelings. He has transcended time and space. His heart is not bound by the sick body, and his heart may have soared at the end of the universe. The dying man speaks the truth. What Murray said to Mickey 14 weeks before his death was full of words, because they were all taken from death bit by bit. Talking about the world, self-pity, regret, death, family, feelings, fear of aging, money ... The content of old Murray is all-encompassing, every word is in Mickey's heart, and it is also torturing social and cultural conscience.
Murray thanked himself for his youth, so he was no longer afraid of getting old and dying; Murray thanked himself for his health, so he no longer complains about pain; Murray is very grateful for his experience and knowledge, so he doesn't regret the time he spent ... Murray is grateful for everything, and on his deathbed, he slowly speaks the deepest wisdom in the world with the most enthusiastic tone. After reading tuesdays with morrie, I began to look at the world around me with gratitude. I thank myself for my youthful vitality, my ability to learn knowledge, my relatives and friends around me for their love, and my predecessors for creating a beautiful world for us ... Of course, I want to thank old Molly who smiled at us in heaven, because he told me to be grateful.
Some thoughts after reading Tuesday with Molly: China people are very afraid to talk about "death", which leads to the lack of attention to life and death in China education. I think tuesdays with morrie is an educational book because it describes a life education class. From this, I saw the courage and courage of "never too old to learn".
Do you still remember the ice bucket challenge in 14? It was a lively time, from Microsoft's Bill Gates, Facebook's Zuckerberg and Apple's Cook to politicians and stars. A bucket of ice water fell on the head and poured all over the body, aiming to arouse the public's attention to people who are gradually frozen. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the gradual weakening and atrophy of muscles including the ball, limbs, trunk, chest and abdomen after the injury of upper motor neurons and lower motor neurons. Patients with this disease are always awake, but they have to watch all the functions of the body gradually lose with muscle atrophy until respiratory failure. Professor Murray, the protagonist of tuesdays with morrie, is a frozen patient. The theme of this book is not how painful it is to get this disease, but how one feels about important life topics such as death, family and love when he is near the end of his life.
Yu said in the preface of this book that there is a strange thing, that is, everyone is worried about life, but no one wants to talk more about life. Say a little more. First, when high school graduates start writing, they can write sentences like "the sail of life". Second, the street grandmother will sigh that "people are like this in their lives." People who have both life experience and thinking level generally don't talk about life. I have imagined what kind of people are suitable for talking about life. After thinking about it, it should be an old man, not necessarily very successful, but there is no loss in life, and he is respected and has a strong sense of farewell, which will add a more detached bird's eye view to life.
The protagonist of this book is in line with the setting. His name is mori schwartz, and he is a sociology professor. He is over 70 years old and suffering from gradual freezing. The doctor said he could live for two years at most. In the face of visible death, how should people continue the rest of their lives? Are you complaining about God's unfairness and counting down the days painfully every day, or are you discouraged and let yourself dry up to death? Professor Murray's choice is to accept and face death bravely. He wants to take death as his last course, take himself as the research object, and observe what happens to him for reference. "I have set foot on the last journey, and I want to tell them how to clean up."
At the last minute, Murray didn't want to live alone or die in a daze. He hopes that his colleagues and friends can visit him more often, call him and share their problems. He wants to prove that the future is numbered and worthless is not synonymous. He accepted a TV interview and shared his mental journey with more people. One of his students, Mickey, watched the program. He is Murray's favorite student. 16 After graduation, he devoted himself to pursuing worldly success. He works day and night, interviewing all kinds of high-end sports events and popular athletes. He has been trying hard to move forward and pursue hard, but sometimes his heart is invaded by confusion and emptiness. Seeing the teacher on TV, generate, who had hidden his feelings for many years, thought that the forgotten time had been treasured in his heart.
Mickey walked through the dust of the years and once again held the hand of the teacher he once loved very much. The teacher gave him a warm hug in return, and Professor Murray will give his favorite student the last lesson. So, every Tuesday, Mickey flies 700 miles by plane and arrives at Murray's bed for class.
This course has been taught for fourteen weeks. The first lesson is about death. This is a heavy topic, especially for a dying patient. Murray doesn't shy away or pretend to be free and easy. He said he was scared and even shed tears, but for a while, he put it aside. I ask myself every day, am I ready? Can I live without regrets and die without regrets? You learn how to die, you learn how to live. For the next ten weeks, they talked about family, money, feelings, fear of aging and the eternity of love. As the course went on, Murray's physical condition went from bad to worse. At first, they can have classes in the study. Murray can laugh loudly, express his feelings with gestures at will, and eat his favorite Italian food. Later, I couldn't lift my chest, so I had to eat liquid food, and I couldn't stand up or sit on the bed anymore. Frostbite is like a lighted candle, which melts people's nerves a little and turns their bodies into a pile of wax. It usually starts with the legs and then works its way up. When the patient can't control the thigh muscles, he can't stand up again. When you can't control the muscles of your trunk, you can't sit up straight. Finally, the patient is paralyzed and can only breathe through a tube inserted in his throat, while your conscious mind is confined in a soft shell. Maybe you can blink your eyes and move your tongue, just like the frozen monster in science fiction movies, but you can't even wipe your nose and go to the bathroom.
In the face of all kinds of torture and embarrassment, Murray calmly faced it with an attitude that ordinary people could not imagine. He said humorously, I feel the pleasure of relying on others, just like going back to infancy, when someone bathes you, hugs you, scrubs you and massages you, I think it is a kind of enjoyment. Murray's body is ill, but his heart is still warm. He is more compassionate and responsible than before. He will leave tears of sympathy for the victims of other countries, receive visitors warmly and thoughtfully, and answer questions for those who ask for help. He tried to burn out the last heat, just like a candle illuminates the light. He said that this disease has been beating my soul, but it can't be taken away. Illness can take away my body, but not my soul. Murray's last lesson to the students was funeral. He was buried under a tree overlooking a pond. The last thing he said in class was that death ended life, but it was not an emotional connection. He thinks that as long as there is love for each other, the memory will always exist and you will still be alive.
His student Mickey and his teacher compiled and published the notes of lesson 14, entitled "Tuesday with Molly". This book caused a sensation in the United States, stayed on the best-selling list of major books for four years, and was translated into 365,438+0 languages and circulated around the world. The novel has also been adapted into movies and plays and widely circulated in various forms. People have not forgotten Murray. There is a passage in the Bible that everything in the world has a time, everything has a time, life has a time, and death has a time. Sometimes you cry, sometimes you laugh; Sometimes mourning, sometimes dancing. ...
