Accepting the inevitable

I haven't posted in a while, but I would like to get back into it very soon. I am almost done my psychiatry rotation... much has happened so with a little more motivation and time management I will stop to reflect in the next couple of days.

...For now I wanted to share this particular video by Dr. Alejandro Jadad (with whom I've had the great pleasure of working with). He touches on such a simple idea, yet it is unbelievably thought provoking. I took the time to watch and then spent a good portion of my night trying to wrap my mind around it. Mortality. Yes, we all know that we do not live forever but do we take life for granted if/when we are younger? Can we ever reach that state of acceptance he talks about? Are we ever going to be completely happy that we have done everything we wanted to?

Just some food for thought to start the week off right :)

PS. sorry to those who have posted comments recently. I will get to answering them this week... promise!
