But I do not need treatment, because I'm not ill. It is human nature to be sad when tragic things happen. Everyone suffers tragedy, in one way or another, and that is when we must show strength of character in overcoming our feelings. Not getting rid of them - that is quite impossible - but in carrying on despite them. I'm not relying on wine and cheering charms to get through the days, you know. I am content here.
Besides, I do not think anything is too late for you. You have lived an unimaginably long time by mortal standards, yes, but think how much longer you might have ahead of you.
You must have been such a brave child. I'm glad that it wasn't intolerable for you, that you were able to study as you wouldn't otherwise have been. I know that it is a custom out of another time and place, but it is very alien to my own sensibilities.
