We're not always given any useful instructions on how to live. I mean, useful to a specific person with specific advice, and the culture is really unhelpful sometimes in permitting people to find out what it is they need to do and the shape they need to adopt in order to feel better, and people ca be baffled by it all.
My wish for myself would be to have enough money to live comfortably enough (really quite simply) in some third world non-English speaking country for the rest of my life. The sort of country where I could euthanase myself before the horrible end. So that kind of rules out Bolivia which sounds pretty good otherwise. Pakistan is no fun. Central Asia is a wreck. The Syrians are supposed to be very friendly, and wasn't it part of the Axis of Evil? But no. That probably leaves India, up north.
