Don't you think that quality of life usually remains about the same throughout one's life?
Dr. G.
You just have to adjust your notions of what quality is
George Slade Cole
Dr. G. I guess I was referring to overall, general quality.

George Slade Cole There’s an interesting discussion about aging in the opening pages of the Republic.
George Slade Cole
Dr. G. I've read that. Yes as I recall he said something like what you said: that youth comes with its impassioned pleasures, while old age comes with its more relaxed pleasures, but I don't seem to recall him saying that youth was BETTER than old age.
Dr. G.
George Slade Cole You are correct. As long as you have a good character, as Socrates says.

Dr. G. It would help to have some children or grandchildren to look after me.
Dr. G.
George Slade Cole Better get busy!
George Slade Cole
I am busy. I have been trying to get my girlfriend to move up here for four years. Workin' on gettin a driver's license as soon as possible to move down there. She doesn't take me seriously like I take her. I don't know if she wants children at all (she doesn't know, either). It doesn't help that she's with another guy. They're in Telluride right now.
