'ö-Dzin Tridral 🏴 quoted being mortal by Atul Gawande
"“There remains one problem with this way of living. Our reyerence for independence takes no account of the reality of what happens in life: sooner or later, independence will become impossible. Serious illness or infirmity will strike. It is as inevitable as sunset. And then a new question arises: If independence is what we live for, what do we do when it can no longer be sustained?” ― Atul Gawande, (p22/23, '1. The Independent Self' , 'Being Mortal', Profile Books, ISBN 978-1846685828)"
