In a recent seminar, someone said, "You have said, several times that a good mentor challenges the mentee to meet various goals, do their best, etc. That sounds combative to me, is that what you mean?"
I had to admit it could sound that way, and, I guess at times it could even look that way, but it certainly isn't my stance.
Suddenly there is a slight burst in my hope that a social embrace of death might possibly precede physical death; a revelation that despite aging and dying, I still have a place in this world. When hope dies, so does life.
