Options

Closing options are a very ambiguous thing. Sometimes it's one of the most aggravating events, like in the case of serious illnesses or death. But it can also be very liberating, as noted by Sean Scully, an abstract painter: "One advantage of getting older is that you can see what possibilities are not open to you, and where your gifts do not lie, and you are liberated because you can turn all your ambition onto what you do have". Indeed one of the greatest gifts one can give to some people is to decide for them, telling them what to do (or what not to do), elimitating there doubts over options.
