You know, just reading your post, it occurs to me as a thought that maybe the worth of these people's lives, and perhaps mine too, near the end like that, will be the compassion I teach others.
That's hugely worthy.
These people are our teachers.
Are we smart enough to be their pupils?
And there's tons more, as you suggest, Toph, there's all kinds of worth that we're not seeing, we don't understand their world any more than they understand this one, now.
