Life

Morrie was lucky- he had time to reflect on his life and make amends with people before he died. He got to teach a new lesson to one of his most precious students: life. We all wonder about it. How we got here, who we are, and most importantly why we are the way we are. That third question is something that can be answered through studying sociology. We can see that we do things like stand up on two feet, speak and understand language, and even wear clothing because of being nurtured. Through studies like Genie, where she was isolated for 13 years of her life, we can see what is in our nature as well. Making a connection with other beings is something that is innate in humans. The want of acceptance is also something that is innate with humans, but the reason for that is that we can't survive by ourselves. Morrie even said that he didn't understand why it was a shame to depend on other people and machines for survival- because in the beginning and end of our lives that's what we do. Being human is more than just walking and speaking it is also those things that make us innately unique.
Have a good evening!
