E-book Tuesdays with Morrie : An Old Man, A Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson
Soon the cameras were rolling in front of the living room fireplace, with Koppel in his crisp blue suit and Morrie in his shaggy gray sweater. He had refused fancy clothes or makeup for this interview. His philosophy was that death should not be embarrassing; he was not about to powder its nose. Because Morrie sat in the wheelchair, the camera never caught his withered legs. And because he was still able to move his hands–Morrie always spoke with both hands waving–he showed great passion when explaining how you face the end of life. “Ted,” he said, “when all this started, I asked myself, 'Am I going to withdraw from the world, like most people do, or am I going to live?' I decided I'm going to live–or at least try to live–the way I want, with dignity, with courage, with humor, with composure. “There are some mornings when I cry and cry and mourn for myself. Some mornings, I'm so angry and bitter. But it doesn't last too long. Then I get up and say, 'I want to live …' “So far, I've been able to do it. Will I be able to continue? I don't know. But I'm betting on myself that I will.”
