I just started reading "Second Space", Czeslaw Milosz's final book of poems, written when he was in his 90's. He died in 2004.
Three things I've learnt so far from him:
* With age comes clarity of vision.
* We never completely leave adolescence.
* Everyone wants to remain alive for different reasons.

It would be interesting to hear everyone's different reason. Hmmm. I guess I never thought of a particular reason why I want to tsay alive. this might sound corny but if I really pinned it down, it would probably be so that I can still see marty and harry. It boils down to that.
