“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half asleep, even though when they’re busy doing things they think are important. This is because they are chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.”

This quote is so true! I partially think that Morrie directed this quote to Mitch because Mitch only cared about money and his job, he was not a caring, loving person. Mitch is not devoted to his community, others or anything that would give him purpose. People who sit around all day watching television and eating swedish fish aren’t going to be devoted to anything.
