In this chapter,"The Second Tuesday We Talk about Feeling Bad About Yourself", Mitch is taking a break from stressing himself out about work. He looked forward to these visits on Tuesdays with Morrie. On this visit, Mitch and Morrie talked about one of Morrie's favorite subjects, compassion and why the society had such a shortage of it. Mitch asked Morrie is he ever felt bad for himself. He said "Sometimes, in the mornings. That's when I mourn . I feel around my body , I move my fingers and my hands-whenever I can still move-and I mourn what I have lost. I mourn the slow, insidious way in which I'm dying. But then I stop mourning." He tells us that you can't feel bad for yourself too long. Mitch thought about all the people he felt bad for. He also helped Morrie get in his chair, but when he did it he knew time was running out, and he knew exactly what to do. In this chapter, I realized that Morrie had a point. Feeling bad about yourself is not something that you should spend time doing. You should help others that don't have what you do, what you haven't lost yet.
