Eudaimonia

THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT HEARING A PERSON TAKING HER LAST BREATHS AND GASPING, ASKING FOR GOD TO HELP HER. THE BREATHS GOT RASPIER AND QUICKER, THEN THE MOANING STARTED.. FEAR HAD SETTLED IN THE WOMENS VOICE. THEN JUST HEARING SILENCE. THAT EXCHANGE IS DISTURBING AND YET RELIEVING IN VERY AN ODD WAY.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

 The experience described touches on the complexity of human existence—the fragility of life and the inevitability of death. It's natural to feel disturbed, yet relieved in some way, when faced with the end of someone's suffering.
