As Mitch approached the house, he spots Morrie on the porch. However, he does not get off the phone, instead finishing his conversation before his sixteen-year reunion. This is a conflict for Mitch. Does he finish his job or spend every precious second re-uniting? Both are important to him. Mitch was very much preoccupied with work and success. He greeted Morrie with a sense of otherness. Half his mind was ruminating about deadlines work...and the other half was on greeting Morrie. Mitch wished he had been more genuine and focused on the moment.
