Tuesdays w/ Morrie - Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom comes out as a student of Morrie. The character who represents the people in nowadays. Who forgot and lost their value and memories, other things that they valued when their hearts were warm and heads were cold. Thesedays, people have cold hearts and smart brains. That's the problem. They look for theirown benefits and chase after them while they forget promises between them and their children, friends, parents, or teachers. The people who gave things that they cannot earn by themselves are forgotten by busy lives and sights.
For these days people, they are rushing to get more and more of benefits and advantages so that they could have better life later on. But how can they say 'later on' in front of the child telling hise/her parents to go to picnic just once or go to baseball game that the child would play. I think they would not go there but work more and think more to get more something that ensure them that they would have stable lives later on and second chance to make up one mistake that they already made for their children. It can be to parents, friends, lover, other people. But i guess if they miss the first one but look for raincheck, they won't get any but lose things more and more that they cannot buy with reputation, cash, honor, authority.
They should realize which one is more important.
