Why does Morrie think people should choose their own values， not follow society’s？ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Society often tells us to chase wealth or look “normal”， but Morrie says “big things like what we value must be chosen by us”.Following society can make us unhappy or “half-asleep”.We need to decide for ourselves what’s important （like kindness， not just money）. 目 录 英语·选择性必修第四册（WY） 2. Why is love so important in the book， according to Morrie？ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Morrie says， “Love each other or perish.” Love — caring for others and staying connected — helps us feel happy and fulfilled.
