If someone would like to and is willing to make the time, that’s fine, but you don’t owe them this if they are not a good person or worth spending time with imho. Connection and community is earned, not a given. My lived experience is there are some good old people you strive to make time with, some who are fine but I wouldn’t go out of my way to make time for, and some who are just terrible people who are going to die alone because of who they are. Your life experience and decisioning process about how and with whom to spend precious, non renewable time may differ.
Don’t set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm.
- serial_dev 8mo agoIt’s all fine, but in that case also do not worry about this hypothetical old person spending time the way they like to.
- toomuchtodo 8mo agoCertainly, how they spend their time is their choice, concepts of free will and all that.
