I've met a few people in my time who volunteer in hospices, helping the dying. (I can think of no work more worthy, or more instructive.) What they have all said to me is that terminally ill children generally die with far more grace and joyous acceptance than do adults. If this is the case then we adults learn very little from living life. In fact you could surmise that all we really learn is fear and anxiety.
