I was talking to someone much older than me. She is in her early 80s. I was very humbled that she chose to speak to me. What I learnt was even more of a leveller.
She told me its very hard to face up to a life - in which you know you probably dont have more than a few years left.
I said what about - if she hits a 100? She said, even if she could, she did not want to, because her quality of life had substantially deteriorated.
That made the whole chat so poignant. Two souls sitting and contemplating mortality, without knowing what it means to even do so.
