For my blox, I had to examine what Morrie had said, and put it into my own world. I had to look back, remind myself how I felt, and how I could best portray this in a blox. Morrie’s biggest theme was love. He lived and died by his quote, “Love each other or perish.” Throughout the novel he talks about loving yourself, your family, and your community.
“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.”
His voice dropped to a whisper. “Let it come in. We think we don’t deserve love, we think if we let it in we’ll become too soft. But a wise man named Levine said it right. He said, ‘Love is the only rational act,’.”
Morrie believed in love all the way. He believed that love is the answer to and the reason for everything. In my blox, I tried to represent that theme. I combined images of self-love, love between one and another, and group love all into one. Love was so supreme in his life, yet surprisingly simple. It rose above everything else. It was both the underlying and overlying theme of everything for Morrie.
