“The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn’t work, don’t buy it.”
You could say this about all of Morrie’s lessons, but this one feels particularly relevant to today, particularly in very divided societies like the U.S. is now. Do you feel like the world, your country, or even your neighborhood are all going in a cultural direction that you don’t always feel comfortable with? How do you without risking something? A great lesson from Morrie: “Once you can understand the nature of the people that you are afraid of criticizing you, you’ll no longer be afraid of them criticizing you.”
