“The secret of happiness, you see, is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.” - Socrates

    Goddamn there are some really old people on lemmy.

    One weird thing I’ve noticed about life, and especially since becoming terminally ill, is that generally the older people are, the more terrified they are of “the future” and the harder they cling to life.

    When logically, it should be the other way around. You’ve already lived your life, old man. What are you so afraid of?
