I was drawn to your post because of the title. I love Mitch Albom. I have read all his books.

Now I love how you recounted different instances in your life that taught you something. By sharing this with us you are hoping we learn something or at least get an understanding of our own situation.

This is the beauty of Steemit. The diversity of people and their experiences shows us a way upon which we may be enlightened and become better people.
