Thanks to Maria Popova whose article provided us so many life fulfilling references regarding the topic of old age and death.
Regarding that, certain ideas in the article worth reflecting, for instance: falling in love again and again, forgive and forget, the dissolution of the personal ego into something larger etc.
Excerptions :
An individual human existence should be like a river — small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea.....
I should wish to die while still at work, knowing that others will carry on what I can no longer do and content in the thought that what was possible has been done.
