Aphorism: "Three materials will help you progress in life kindness, determination, and faith." - Abdiel De La O
"Learn to forgive yourself and to forgive others" in Detail
This aphorism was created prior to the lessons with Mitch and Morrie. I learned that it was written down by Morrie in "the Audiovisual". Mr. Schwartz would write numerous aphorisms within his notebook to get rid of his boredom and to understand the main philosophies he was going to speak about in "Nightline". I feel that this quote connects more with "love each other perish." He wants people to understand that if we are not able to forgive those who have hurt us in the past we will never able to move forward in life like Mitch Albom. In the sentence prior to the aphorism list Mitch mentions a detail about Morrie writing down these mini life philosophies. Mitch says that Morrie was living next to the shadow that will eventually take his meaning at the end of Tuesdays with Morrie. In this time period Morrie was already in a wheelchair full time with the early stages within the ALS disease and he would jot down his major philosophy which would appear "Nightline". I think that Morrie's message is we as humans must forgive others/be clean before we leave like Morrie.
Aphorism in Real Life
I have heard this life lesson numerous times throughout my life especially in places like church and I try to incorporate it in my everyday routine like Morrie. In numerous religious classes I have learned this life lesson extremely useful due to the reason that we turn to violence as an answer for a major problem like bullying. I usually attend a youth group every Thursday in which we talk about numerous life lessons, but forgiving others has always had a major role in the Catholic religion within my life. I have seen an example of this aphorism in television and a novel which led to having a major impact on the main character. In Battle of the Books we read Schooled which talks about the life of a young adult named Capricorn. I noticed that in the first few days within school they used to bully him a lot but in the end he was able to forgive them in “C” Average the nickname for his actual school made by Zack. In a show called La Fea Mas Bella the main character Lety is bullied by her neighbors but recently she was able to forgive them which led them to having a bit more kindness in their heart like Mitch.

My Opinion on the Aphorism
There were numerous aphorisms to choose from, but I felt that this specific life lesson has made a large impact on my life. I completely agree with the aphorism due to the reason that having the ability to forgive others will relieve you from guilt and problems which might occur in the future for numerous people. I think that the first specific reason to support my claim was when Mitch was able to forgive himself after not visiting for over an decade and forgetting to give his full attention to Mr. Schwartz a.k.a Morrie. He didn't do such a great job keeping touch with his friend but in the end he felt better knowing that his old professor would always love him just like the other aphorism "love always wins." I noticed that the other most notable example in the book was when Mitch finally decided to call his brother and forgive even after not speaking to him for over a decade living in Spain. This book was excellent but overall the main detail that makes Tuesdays with Morrie fantastic is that Mitch was able to forgive himself and finally being able to start a relationship with Janine.
