其实我看到的最豁达，坦然的来自”Meet Joe Black”，Anthony Hopkins所饰演的 William Parrish，Sir Hopkins是我最推崇的actor，不过这儿没有任何＂断背情结＂, Hopkins爵爷说的好，
“I don’t want anybody buying up my life’s work and turning it into something it wasn’t meant to be. A man wants to leave something behind. And he wants it left behind the way be made it. And he wants it to be run the way be ran it…, with a sense of honor, of dedication, of truth.”
不过毕竟是故事而已．
说来道去，还是怪医学不够昌明，作为在生死无间道里两头奔波的人，也只希望以后教科书里少一些primary or idiopathic之类的词．
"Chasing Daylight: How my forthcoming death transformed my life" by Eugene O'kelley
O'Kelly, the former CEO and chairman of accounting juggernaut KPMG who was diagnosed with brain cancer at 53, writes about his "forthcoming death" as one would expect an accountant to: methodically. He charts his downward spiral, from symptoms to diagnosis to the process of dying in this poignant and posthumously published book. (O'Kelly died in September 2005.) O'Kelly's narrative recounts the steps he took to simplify his life-how he learned, for instance, "to be in the present moment, how to live there at least for snippets of time"-and the final experiences he shared with close friends and family. But his story falters on several occasions. O'Kelly provides few substantial details regarding his long career with KPMG; what information he does offer, and his wishes for the firm's continued success, read like portions of a company newsletter. He also refers constantly to his "wife of 27 years, Corinne, the girl of my dreams," but he fails to give readers a sense of her spirit and personality. (She wrote the final chapter, which takes place largely in the hospital as O'Kelly refuses food and water, eventually dying of an embolism.)
