Did it ever occur to you everyday someone dies, moves away, becomes a different person that who u knew...there is a new person who is born, moves in your town, or changes into a new person? You only outlive Because you're having more LIFE...obviously you don't Desire shorter life...all healthcare is to promote longer lives and healthier. We can't all be 'Golden Girls' but we don't have be witty enough to have a claim on longer life. A life can be interesting (make it very Bold letters) only to the extent we CAN make it so. Now I'll be admitting I have NOT found a friend with whom I cannot chat about issues that interest me: mental health, is there such a thing as too much healthcare, are poor more violent even as much of the world is still poor+++? I went to two new places in the last week to find out if there are folks who are interested in similar topics...or some other such as Times puzzles like Hard Sudoku. I cannot not stop, life without meaningful social connection is wilted and wanting. But I CAN take care of my health, my cat finances...things I have full control. Remember Viktor Frankl of Man's Search for Meaning? A four-time holocaust survivor tells why life was still worth living in those camps! Logotherapy is his approach to lfe.
