Talking to his mother whom he is seeing after ages.....after getting over the initial shock of seeing his mother aged, and with not much more time left, Dr Markos Varvaris says he worries about her. Her reply is characteristic of her: 'No need to. I can take care of myself all right.'
'But for how long,' asks he.
'As long as I can,' she says, and he comes back with, 'And when you can't, then what?'
----------------------I love the answer she gives. Here it is:
'It's a funny thing, Markos, but people mostly have it backward. They think they live by what they want. But really what guides them is what they're afraid of. What they don't want.'
--------------------Powerful words by a woman who knows how she wants to live her life out...
