Dr. Bowen Quote Referenced: “The lack of clarity also applies to how the individual defines one’s responsibility to self. Does this responsibility terminate at retirement. What is one’s responsibility to the gift of being alive? Does living stop at a certain age? Does one become “resigned to life?” Will the increasing “ailments” define self? When does one stop learning? When does one stop being open to the environment? Can one maintain an aesthetic connection to the environment? When does one stop “giving something back”? Answers to these questions are usually implicit, but can be observed as well as the emotional consequence of the answers.”
