Life in the face of death
Chris Witts - Sunday 18 May 2008
The question in the newspaper advertisement caught my eye. “What if you live longer than you expect?”. It was quite an intriguing question, and I discovered it was promoting superannuation. Then it quoted veteran entertainer George Burns who lived to be 100. George once said “If you live to the age of 100, you’ve got it made. Because very few people die past the age of 100!”
Contentment
Margaret Hall - Sunday 11 May 2008
The word ‘contentment’ literally means a state of being held together. Cats give the impression they’ve got things together, in contrast to the way we often feel, as we’re pulled in different directions by competing demands or upset by the turns life takes. There always seems to be something more we’d like to have, or something else we’d like put right. Is contentment really possible?
