In 1978, Soviet geologists prospecting in the wilds of Siberia discovered a family of six, lost in the taiga (for 40 years, this Russian family was cut off from all human contact, unaware of WWII).
The low door creaked, and the figure of a very old man emerged into the light of day, straight out of a fairy tale. Barefoot. Wearing a patched and repatched shirt made of sacking. He wore trousers of the same material, also in patches, and had an uncombed beard. His hair was disheveled. He looked frightened and was very attentive…. We had to say something, so I began: ‘Greetings, grandfather! We’ve come to visit!’ The old man did not reply immediately…. Finally, we heard a soft, uncertain voice: ‘Well, since you have traveled this far, you might as well come in.’
Agafia buried her father on the mountain slopes … She will not leave. But we must leave her …
I looked back to wave at Agafia. She was standing by the river break like a statue. She wasn’t crying. She nodded: ‘Go on, go on.’ We went another kilometer and I looked back. She was still standing there.

People think being alone makes you lonely, but I don’t think that’s true.
Being surrounded by the wrong people is the loneliest thing in the world.
What’s painful is that what you had together, all your inside jokes and favorite restaurants and that movie you both loved but everyone else hated—that’s gone, and there’s no replacement for it, you never replicate it, never get to have it ever again…

How Doctors Die
Years ago, Charlie, a highly respected orthopedist and a mentor of mine, found a lump in his stomach. He had a surgeon explore the area, and the diagnosis was pancreatic cancer. This surgeon was one of the best in the country. He had even invented a new procedure for this exact cancer that could triple a patient’s five-year-survival odds–from 5 percent to 15 percent–albeit with a poor quality of life. Charlie was uninterested. He went home the next day, closed his practice, and never set foot in a hospital again. He focused on spending time with family and feeling as good as possible. Several months later, he died at home. He got no chemotherapy, radiation, or surgical treatment. Medicare didn’t spend much on him.
It’s not a frequent topic of discussion, but doctors die, too. And they don’t die like the rest of us. What’s unusual about them is not how much treatment they get compared to most Americans, but how little. For all the time they spend fending off the deaths of others, they tend to be fairly serene when faced with death themselves. They know exactly what is going to happen, they know the choices, and they generally have access to any sort of medical care they could want. But they go gently.

デンマークやスウェーデンには、いわゆる寝たきり老人はいないと言われています。イギリス、アメリカ、オーストラリアにも寝たきり老人はほとんどいないそうです。一方、我が国のいわゆる老人病院には、一言も話せない、胃ろうが作られた寝たきりの老人がたくさんいます。
日本の医療水準は決して低くありません。むしろ優れているといっても良いくらいです。
ストックホルム近郊の病院や老人介護施設には、予想通り、寝たきり老人は1人もいませんでした。胃ろうの患者もいませんでした。その理由は、高齢あるいは、がんなどで終末期を迎えたら、口から食べられなくなるのは当たり前で、胃ろうや点滴などの人工栄養で延命を図ることは非倫理的であると、国民みんなが認識しているからでした。逆に、そんなことをするのは老人虐待という考え方さえあるそうです。
ですから日本のように、高齢で口から食べられなくなったからといって胃ろうは作りませんし、点滴もしません。肺炎を起こしても抗生剤の注射もしません。内服投与のみです。したがって両手を拘束する必要もありません。つまり、多くの患者さんは、寝たきりになる前に亡くなっていました。寝たきり老人がいないのは当然でした。
さて、欧米が良いのか、日本が良いのかは、わかりません。しかし、全くものも言えず、関節も固まって寝返りすら打てない、そして、胃ろうを外さないように両手を拘束されている高齢の認知症患者を目の前にすると、人間の尊厳について考えざるを得ません。

Palliative care is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing the problem associated with life-threatening illness, through the prevention and relief of suffering by means of early identification and impeccable assessment and treatment of pain and other problems, physical, psychosocial and spiritual. Palliative care:
- provides relief from pain and other distressing symptoms;
- affirms life and regards dying as a normal process;
- intends neither to hasten or postpone death;
- integrates the psychological and spiritual aspects of patient care;
- offers a support system to help patients live as actively as possible until death;
- offers a support system to help the family cope during the patients illness and in their own bereavement;
- uses a team approach to address the needs of patients and their families, including bereavement counselling, if indicated;
- will enhance quality of life, and may also positively influence the course of illness;
- is applicable early in the course of illness, in conjunction with other therapies that are intended to prolong life, such as chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and includes those investigations needed to better understand and manage distressing clinical complications.

それが人本来の自然な姿じゃないのでしょうか?食べたくないのであれば、本人の欲求に任せるべきです。
骨折等の怪我などをきっかけに、退院後は痴呆が進行するケースが殆どです。介護の負担も増します。長生きして欲しいと思う気持ちは解りますが、この国の老人医療は医者の意見をまともに聴き過ぎです。
医者は何が何でも長生きさせようとするものです。痛み止めすら、寿命を縮めるからという理由で簡単には打ちません。苦しむ患者の意志など無視しているかの様です。頭が固いのか、金儲けが先きなのか不思議に感じます。
まもなく天寿を終え、己の意思を失いつつある老人に、むりやり長生きさせる必要があるのでしょうか?もう、自然に任せていいのではないでしょうか。痛みや苦痛だけを取り除く事だけを考えてあげてはいかがでしょう。
ご自身も身体を壊されぬよう、お大事に。

- What is terrible is not death but the lives people live or don’t live up until their death.
- People with no morals often considered themselves more free, but mostly they lacked the ability to feel hate or love.
- If you want to know who your friends are, get yourself a jail sentence.
- We’re all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn’t.
- The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

Strange how life often swings on small things. Watching TV one evening, seeing the death and carnage in Vietnam on the news, the old man expressed his disapproval.
“Hell, we shouldn’t even be there.”
“But that isn’t the point,” Daniel replied. “We are there.”
“Well, thank God you’re not.”
“So we leave it to the black kids who never stood a chance, to the working-class kids, to Hispanics? They’re getting slaughtered by the thousands.”
“It’s not our business.”
“Well, maybe I should make it mine.”
“Damn fool,” the old man said, a little fearful. “Don’t you do anything stupid, you hear me?”
The following morning, Daniel Quinn presented himself at the downtown Army recruiting office. He began with the infantry, and then joined Airborne as a paratrooper.

On December 22, 1849, the tsarist government staged a sadistically brutal and cold-blooded near-execution of 21 members of Petrashevsky’s circle. This was aimed at breaking their will and bringing them to their knees. The condemned were dressed in white shrouds, blindfolded and tied to stakes prior to being shot. The roll of drums resounded through the drill-ground the execution was being staged in, and the condemned were preparing to meet their fate when at the last moment an imperial A.D.C. came galloping into the square with a rescript from the tsar ordering the commutation of the death sentence to penal servitude, and then exile.
Dostoyevsky’s life had been spared, but the sentence had been carried out on the dreams and aspirations of his youth, hopes that died a lingering death during the agony of prison life.

そして彼自身もあの彼のように
死の熱い接吻を受けてからは
生を悩みのために愛さなければならないことが解った

兵士らが彼を柱から引きはなした
彼の顔はあおざめて
死人のようだった
つきとばされて
彼はふたたび列の中へ押しもどされた
彼の眼ざしは
異様であり まったく自分の心の底へむけられていた
そして彼のけいれんしてわななくくちびるには
カラマーゾフ的な黄いろい笑いがうかんでいた

深刻さを増すシャープの経営危機。グループの社員5万7000人を待ち受けるのは、給与削減か、リストラか、台湾企業による苛烈な支配か、それとも倒産か。
縮小が発表された栃木工場に勤務する30代後半のAさんは深い溜め息をついた。
「地元ではシャープに入れば一生安泰だといわれてきた。描いていた人生設計が完全に狂ってしまいました。工場では約1600人の従業員のうち、AV事業に携わる1500人から希望退職者を募ると聞いています。地元で採用された人間全員がリストラ対象ということらしい。子供はまだ小学生でこれからもっと教育費がかかる。この田舎に再就職先なんてないのに、どうしたらいいのか……」
多くの電機メーカーが何年も前から大規模なリストラを断行していたのを横目に、「勝ち組メーカー」シャープは我が世の春を謳歌していた。液晶パネル、携帯電話端末、太陽電池の3つの主力事業が絶好調だった2007年度、売上高は3兆円を超えた。社員の平均年収は700万円超で、福利厚生も充実――ところが、今年に入って急転直下、極寒の冬に突入する。
Bertrand Russell
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy – ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness–that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what–at last–I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate this evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.

This is your life. Do What you love, and do it often. If you don’t like something, change it. If you don’t like your job, quit. If you don’t have enough time, stop watching tv. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over analyzing, life is simple. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people, we are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some oppurtunities only comes once, seize them. Life is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them so go out and start creating. Life is short. Live your dream and share your passion.

Единственное, что врожденно людям, – это любовь к самому себе. И цель жизни каждого человека есть счастье! Из каких же элементов слагается счастье? Только из двух, господа, только из двух: спокойная душа и здоровое тело. О том, как сохранить здоровье, вам скажет любой хороший врач. А как достичь душевного спокойствия, скажу я вам: не совершайте, дети мои, преступлений, не будет у вас ни раскаяния, ни сожаления, а только они делают людей несчастными.

My dear girl, the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through. If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don’t interrupt to say: “You said the same thing a minute ago.” Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story night after night until you would fall asleep. When I don’t want to take a bath, don’t be mad and don’t embarrass me. Remember when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to take a shower when you were just a girl?

… Anything truly revolutionary is created by a few who see what is true and are willing to live according to that truth; but to discover what is true demands freedom from tradition, which means freedom from all fears.
… If you are not at all concerned with the world but only with your personal salvation, following certain beliefs and superstitions, following gurus, then I am afraid it will be impossible for you and the speaker to communicate with each other. We are not concerned at all with private personal salvation but we are concerned, earnestly, seriously, with what the human mind has become, what humanity is facing. We are concerned at looking at this world and what a human being living in this world has to do, what is his role?
>Henry David Thoreau

… Why should we live with such hurry and waste of life…When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence, that petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of the reality.
… I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary.

In 1982, when Heston was sixteen, he and his family went to a three-star restaurant situated beneath towering cliffs in Provence. None of them had experienced anything like it before-not just the extraordinary food but the beauty of the surroundings, the delightful smell of lavender in the air, the sounds of chirruping cicadas and splashing fountains, and the sheer theatre of waiters carving lamb at the table or pouring lobster sauce unto soufflés.
At that moment, Heston fell in love with cooking and the idea of being a chef.

If I were to ask you what’s more common in the U.S., homicide or suicide, what would you say? Homicide is certainly a lot more prominent; it’s constantly in the headlines and in our public consciousness. But the fact is that suicide is more than twice as common as homicide. The preliminary numbers for 2009, the most recent year for which we have data, show there were roughly 36,500 suicides in the U.S. and roughly 16,500 homicides.
So why don’t we hear more about suicide?
David Lester is willing to entertain any theory, to examine any pattern. Interestingly, he’s found that suicide and homicide are often perfectly out of synch with each other. Homicide spikes not on Mondays but on the weekends, and on national holidays, and during the summer and winter. Homicide is also much more common in cities than in rural areas; for suicide, it’s the opposite.

… teenagers rated positively by their teachers were significantly more likely than those who received no positive ratings to have higher levels of well-being later in life, including a higher work satisfaction, more frequent contact with family and friends, and more regular engagement in social and leisure activities.
Happy children were also much less likely than others to develop mental disorders throughout their lives – 60% less likely than young teens that had no positive ratings.
The study not only failed to find a link between being a happy child and an increased likelihood of becoming married, they found that the people who had been happy children were actually more likely to get divorced. One possible factor suggested by the researchers is that happier people have higher self-esteem or self-efficacy and are therefore more willing and able to leave an unhappy marriage.
