Ask HN: You're dying. What are the last words of wisdom you say to your son?

2 pointsby aguzzi94over 5 years ago
Lately I've been thinking about death (in a good way, if that makes sense) and the question of : what exist because of me? What will be left of me when I'm gone? Our fathers have let us down, failing in the crucial task of gifting us with the knowledge and wisdom that has been passed down from generation to generation for ages. That's why we feel the disconnection and confusion we feel inside. We shouldn't pass down the same sin to our sons. What is the most important, most crucial nugget of wisdom to pass to the next generations for you?

<p><pre><code> child—to lose dad—to find, on this morning walk afraid both are </code></pre> I&#x27;d start with listening, so any wisdom you pass to whoever comes from the place of compassion and understanding and has the right context. You&#x27;ll learn a lot along the way, too
