2. Past
Experience
I had a good talk with my dad when I turned 63. I'm not sure what led
up to it. He said you still have to experience things, even at his age,
93. I think the discussion began when I was talking about art and
mentioning at this stage few will be around that I know to see the results of
what I am doing. It was then that he said ‘even so, we still have to
experience life and continue to live and do what we do. There is value in
just this. Even though it is sad others we know won't be around to
appreciate it, we should continue because experience has its own intrinsic
value.’
