"Every day, she did the same thing; came out in the morning, lay on the
floor, stayed there until the evening, talking to no one, ignored by everyone.
It saddened Morrie. He began to sit on the floor with her, even lay down
alongside her, trying to draw her out of her misery. Eventually he got her to
sit up, and even return to her room. What she mostly wanted, he learned, was the
same thing many people want – someone to notice she was there."

An excerpt from Tuesdays with Morrie


That made tears well up in my eyes as I read the book in the bus.

In this world, there are so many people who yearned to be noticed, yet how many of us can actually bring these people out of their misery?

Aye. I don't know how to say what I wanna say lah but basically Tuesdays with Morrie is a very meaningful book. It's about this sociology professer who changed alot of lives. It's about how he lived everyday's life to the fullest when he got to know that he contracted a deadly disease.
