What To Say To A Dying Man?



(Today I was privy to hear the amazing last lesson given by a dying man, hear for yourself - http://video.stumbleupon.com/#p=ithct48cqw)


“I've been making a list of the things they don't teach you at school. They don't teach you how to love somebody. They don't teach you how to be famous. They don't teach you how to be rich or how to be poor. They don't teach you how to walk away from someone you don't love any longer. They don't teach you how to know what's going on in someone else's mind. They don't teach you what to say to someone who's dying. They don't teach you anything worth knowing.”

- Neil Gaiman


I thought about it for a long time but I still cannot come up with anything sincere to say to a dying man except "may the rest of your life be a happy one".

“Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now! There are only so many tomorrows.”

- Pope Paul VI


This is exactly what we should be doing but we always think there will be tomorrows enough.
