    You’re both right. Sometimes life is unavoidably terrible with no recourse (see: most forms of dementia). Also we, as the most social species on the planet, should look out for each other more and make life better for everyone.

      Yeah my grandmother is coming up on her 100th birthday but no one will be too sad if she doesn’t make it because most days her life is pretty terrible. She has the rare okay day but it’s just time to be good with saying goodbye.
