In the book Tuesdays with Morrie many fundamental questions that we as humans ask are addressed and answered. I will be addressing the following questions. What is the nature of the world and secondly what is our destiny.
The nature of the world is revealed to Mitch only after he sees his old professor Morrie dying. Mitch was wasting time on meaningless endeavors, such as reading nonsense magazines instead of spending time on what truly matters in life, and what would make his life more enjoyable to live. On the first Tuesday Morrie tells Mitch that this was not all Mitch's fault, Morrie once told Mitch to "reject a society's culture if it is not conducive to one's own development". .
Mitch realized not everything society tells you to believe in and like is good for one's search for fulfillment. The world is a money hungry world, Morrie has been working himself to death for money and only when he learned he had a finite amount of time left on this planet did he see the foolishness of his quest for money. Morrie sends the message to Mitch that love should be his first priority and money his last. .
On the seventh Tuesday Morrie and Mitch discuss life once again and on this Tuesday in terms of aging and our destiny. Morrie says "As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed as ignorant as you were at twenty- two, you'd always be twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, it's the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it." He is basically saying if you attempt to fight death you are attempting to fight your own destiny, and in doing this may never grow from the stupidity and foolishness of youth. Morrie tries to tell Mitch to live life unrestricted from fear and hate and maybe he will attain fulfillment in life. .
