Lesson 11-2 How to grow old
An individualhuman existence should be like a river -- small at first, narrowly containedwithin its banks, and rushing passionately past boulders and over waterfalls.Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow morequietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in thesea, and painlessly lose their individual being. The man who, in old age, cansee his life in this way, will not suffer from the fear of death, since thethings he cares for will continue. And if, with the decay of vitality,weariness increases, the thought of rest will be not unwelcome. I should wishto die while still at work, knowing that others will carry on what I can nolonger do, and content in the thought that what was possible has been done.
