Morrie's Wisdom

Choose a quote that speaks to you from what we have read so far. Write the quote at the top of your response to this post and then write your reaction to that quote -or- find someone who wrote about the same quote as you and respond to that person's post.

Example:
"The culture we live in does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn' t work, don't buy it" (Albom, 42).

In the U.S. today, if a person does not live up to the values promoted by the media (being beautiful, thin, rich, athletic...etc) they feel inadequate, or feel that they don' t measure up. I like this quote because Morrie tells us to ignore the culture and create our own "subculture" by filling our lives with more meaningful pursuits.
