According to Morrie, what are “the big things” in life
What is your understanding of Auden’s words: “Love each other or perish”
According to Morrie, “the big things” in life are how we think and what we value.
It is the love from our families and friends that supports us to achieve our dreams and ambitions in our life.
Without love, life is meaningless.
We should love who we love and who loves us or else life is meaningless.
How do you usually learn lessons about life Through experience or learning from other people Give an example.
Can you critically evaluate other people’s opinions and make your own judgements
Summary
“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.”
