Reading James Hillman's The Force of Character. The book talks about what is more important in the later years of our lives.
In trying to last, we seek to extend life. It is equally important to extend our understanding of life: life as it is, not as it was; life structured with intelligence; life as instruction.
In old age, interest shifts from information to intelligence. Information brings news, while intelligence searches it for insight. Information merely accumulates; insights last.
