Love and Money

Tuesdays with Morrie was an inspirational movie about life. It helped me think about who I love and who I would be devastated to never have a gain. In the movie, the main character gets too caught up with work that he forgets to think about those he loves- Morrie and his girlfriend. At times, we do get too caught up in our own lives we don't take time to slow down and enjoy it with those we love. We are constantly taking orders from our parents, our bosses, our jobs, etc. It's very easy to get tied up but we must remember to take our time to remember the things in life that really mean something. Morrie was an inspiration to the main character and helped him think about his life and his priorities. Work should be a priority but never a way of life. My older brother is someone who needed to realize this, and slowly did. My brother is a firefighter at two different cities and works a lot. He's saved up a lot of money and is still very young. Straight out of high school he began working a lot. He never took time for himself. My mom would always tell him "you have the rest of your life to work, take some time for yourself." Later down the road, I help use those words too. I will miss out on trips with my friends or family or other events because I have to work. It's easy to get caught up because we want the money. However when I look back, I would much rather have the experiences I missed rather than the money.
