The rich are just like the poor, they just have money.
Its something the poor have always known, and that the rich always forget.
I live in a retirement community. Death and sickness are all around me. And what strikes me most about my neighbors is their courage. It keeps me honest. I am well aware that no matter how good that report card is, each one might be my last.
I have come to terms with death, I don't fear it, it is natural and inevitable. It is pain and helplessness I fear, and I see enough of that around me to keep me honest,too.
