Alwaleed Ayyad CIN: 305046006 31/OCT/2017 Detachment Detachment is the feeling of cutting oneself from any psychological or emotional connection to something or someone. The lack of interest that will lead to detachment can be either positive or negative. The story of Morrie and Mitch brings about the bigger question: Does self-detachment form a behavior or emotion, have a positive effect or not? The death of Morrie was emotional to Mitch due to the kind of friendship the two shared. Mitch specifically learns valuable lessons from the conversations he has previously had with Morrie. He specifically learns how to reject popular cultural practices and instead try to develop his own values. Morrie sees the popular culture as a form of dictatorship which makes the common man suffer. Hence, Mitch tries to free himself from the bondages of corruption to fully assess his own life as well as rediscover utmost fulfillment. From a poem recited by Morrie, Mitch learns an important lesson: that in the absence of love, there is a void that can be filled by only loving human relationships. Morrie states that, when a person abides by love, then they can experience a higher sense of fulfillment. (Auden 1954-1973). Mitch is now able to reincarnate himself wholly from a being who was previously motivated by money and possessions to a man now keen for the passion to love and also emulate the only principles he learnt from man who touched and changed his life- Morrie. Personally, I do agree with the importance of detaching oneself from emotions because at the end of a person life’s it is the experiences that count. The emotion is among the few connections that one can share with someone and in order to be able to learn how to detach yourself from emotions then you have a separation from life so as to gain the absolute freedom to explore a certain way of living. In the book Tuesdays with Morrie, Mitch says that, ‘‘Detachment does not mean you forego letting the experience penetrate you. On the flipside, you rather let it penetrate you fully. That is how you are able to leave it’’. (Albom, 2010). Mitch was trying to explain that detachment is not the end of emotional connection that one had with someone but rather it is a chance to live and pass on the experience of love to the people we share it with. For instance, I once lost a close friend in seventh grade when their home was raided with robbers. It was a difficult moment for me but after counseling I managed to let go of the emotions I had developed. In the book Tuesdays with Morrie, an excerpt says ‘‘Maybe death is the great equalizer; the one big thing that can finally make strangers shed a tear for one another’’. The words being said by Morrie Schwartz explaining the pain of detachment after a strong friendship with Mitch (Albom, 2010). Most life experiences are what make a person. Detachment can cause either negative or positive repercussions in one’s life when they choose to engage in it. Some of the negative impacts of detachment may include a feeling of anxiety, fear as well as jealousy because the object, goal or person you are attached to constantly gives you a remainder that you are not complete without it even when that could be arguably false. When we cannot make our own life’s decision but on the basis of others then arises a mental prison. The paradox in life being that in an effort to become ourselves we have to actually create a separation with others. The advantages of detachment can be summarized by the person being able to see the bigger picture. Morrie seeks to experience life wholly and does not care of the impermanence of life itself. He embraces death because he knows it must come to pass. Another experience I have had in life revolves around the time my family migrated from my home country to another country. Being born in Saudi Arabia, and raised by my parents they rendered my worldwide view difficult especially with the language factor, culture as well as religion. Detachment set in when I had to leave my hometown to come and experience education in a foreign country. My social life was affected and it prompted me to detach myself from the emotional feeling of growing up in Saudi Arabia because this was the real situation at hand. The story of Morrie and Mitch is anchored on friendship as well a tutorstudent relationship. With time passing by between them, it grows intense and as Mitch graduates with his diploma he approaches his favorite professor and presents him with a monogrammed briefcase. As much as he promises to keep in contact that does not happen and they meet sixteen years later when Morrie is diagnosed with a debilitating ailment. Mitch stumbles upon his favorite professor on the television and then decides to look for him. They meet each Tuesday regularly and Morrie continues his lectures on ‘‘the meaning of Life’’. The old student brings food for the professor and together record notes named Tuesdays with Morrie which jokingly refer to as the ‘‘the last thesis together ‘’ Morrie reiterate why it important to detach from human emotions. The need to cut from all psychological and emotional connections so that one can see the bigger picture in life and live wholly in the moment can be quite liberating.

Detachment
Detachment is the feeling of cutting oneself from any psychological or
emotional connection to something or someone. The lack of interest that will lead to
detachment can be either positive or negative. The story of Morrie and Mitch brings
about the bigger question: Does self-detachment form a behavior or emotion and have
a positive effect or not?
The death of Morrie was emotional to Mitch due to the kind of friendship the
two shared. Mitch spent a lot of time with Morrie before his death where he learned a
lot of valuable life lessons. Mitch learns explicitly useful lessons from the
conversations he has previously had with Morrie. When Morrie teaches about
detachment, he explains that the process is essential for both the suffering and the
healthy. He states that "Don't cling to things because everything is impermanent”
(Albom, p 103). However, Morrie explains that detachment does not mean running
away from life experiences but living through them to the fullest. Using the example
of loneliness, he illustrates; “… loneliness: you let go, let the tears flow, feel it
completely—but eventually be able to say, “All right, that was my moment with
loneliness. I’m not afraid of feeling lonely, but now I’m going to put that loneliness
aside and ...
