What really matters at the end of life | BJ Miller | TED

Prevoditelj: Anja Kolobarić Recezent: Ivan Stamenković

Well, we all need a reason to wake up.

Svima nama potreban je razlog da se ujutro ustanemo iz kreveta.

For me, it just took 11,000 volts.

Meni je za to trebalo samo 11 000 volti.

I know you're too polite to ask,

Znam da ste prepristojni da pitate,

so I will tell you.

pa ću vam reći.

One night, sophomore year of college,

Jedne večeri na 2. godini faksa,

just back from Thanksgiving holiday,

baš nakon praznika za Dan zahvalnosti,

a few of my friends and I were horsing around,

nekolicina mojih prijatelja i ja smo se budalesali

and we decided to climb atop a parked commuter train.

i odlučili se popeti na parkirani putnički vlak.

It was just sitting there, with the wires that run overhead.

Samo je stajao tamo, žice su bile na krovu.

Somehow, that seemed like a great idea at the time.

Tada se to nekako činilo kao izvrsna ideja.

We'd certainly done stupider things.

Radili smo i glupljih stvari.

I scurried up the ladder on the back,

Popeo sam se na stražnje ljestve

and when I stood up,

i kad sam ustao,

the electrical current entered my arm,

struja mi je ušla kroz ruku,

blew down and out my feet, and that was that.

pošla prema dolje i prema stopalima i to je bilo to.

Would you believe that watch still works?

Možete li vjerovati da taj sat još uvijek radi?

Takes a licking!

Svašta je prošao.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

My father wears it now in solidarity.

Sad ga moj otac nosi iz solidarnosti.

That night began my formal relationship with death -- my death --

Ta je večer započela moju formalnu vezu sa smrti - s mojom smrti -

and it also began my long run as a patient.

a započela je i moju dugoročnu karijeru pacijenta.

It's a good word.

Dobra je to riječ.

It means one who suffers.

Znači "onaj koji pati".

So I guess we're all patients.

Svi smo mi pacijenti.

Now, the American health care system

Američki zdravstveni sustav

has more than its fair share of dysfunction --

nefunkcionalan je

to match its brilliance, to be sure.

koliko i briljantan.

I'm a physician now, a hospice and palliative medicine doc,

Sad sam liječnik za palijativnu njegu u staračkom domu,

so I've seen care from both sides.

pa sam vidio kako je njegovati i biti njegovan.

And believe me: almost everyone who goes into healthcare

Vjerujte mi - gotovo svatko tko se odluči na karijeru u zdravstvu

really means well -- I mean, truly.

ima najbolje namjere. Zaista ima,

But we who work in it are also unwitting agents

ali svi mi koji u njemu radimo smo i nesvjesni agenti

for a system that too often does not serve.

sustava koji nerijetko ne služi svrsi.

Why?

Zašto?

Well, there's actually a pretty easy answer to that question,

Odgovor na to pitanje prilično je jednostavan

and it explains a lot:

i puno toga objašnjava:

because healthcare was designed with diseases, not people, at its center.

zdravstvo je dizajnirano imajući u vidu bolesti, a ne ljude,

Which is to say, of course, it was badly designed.

što, naravno, znači da je loše dizajnirano.

And nowhere are the effects of bad design more heartbreaking

Posljedice lošeg dizajna nigdje nisu toliko žalosne,

or the opportunity for good design more compelling

ili prilike za dobru zamišljenost toliko stvarne,

than at the end of life,

kao na koncu života

where things are so distilled and concentrated.

kad je sve toliko sažeto i koncentrirano.

There are no do-overs.

Tu nema popravaka.

My purpose today is to reach out across disciplines

Moj današnji cilj je doprijeti do različitih disciplina

and invite design thinking into this big conversation.

i pozvati na razmišljanje o planiranju,

That is, to bring intention and creativity

odnosno uvesti namjeru i kreativnost

to the experience of dying.

u doživljaj umiranja.

We have a monumental opportunity in front of us,

Pred nama je monumentalna prilika,

before one of the few universal issues

pred jednim od rijetkih univerzalnih pitanja

as individuals as well as a civil society:

koja se tiču i pojedinaca, a i civilnog društva:

to rethink and redesign how it is we die.

ponovno razmisliti i redizajnirati način na koji umiremo.

So let's begin at the end.

Krenimo od kraja.

For most people, the scariest thing about death isn't being dead,

Kad govorimo o smrti, većini ljudi najveći strah nije to što će biti mrtvi,

it's dying, suffering.

već samo umiranje, patnja.

It's a key distinction.

To je glavna razlika.

To get underneath this, it can be very helpful

Kako bismo to razumjeli, nekad zna pomoći

to tease out suffering which is necessary as it is,

odvojiti patnju koja je ionako nužna

from suffering we can change.

od patnje na koju možemo utjecati.

The former is a natural, essential part of life, part of the deal,

Nužna patnja je prirodna, prirodan dio života, dolazi u paketu,

and to this we are called to make space, adjust, grow.

na to se moramo priviknuti.

It can be really good to realize forces larger than ourselves.

Dobro je uvidjeti sile veće od nas samih

They bring proportionality,

koje nam donose proporcionalnost,

like a cosmic right-sizing.

poput kozmičkog smanjivanja ljudske snage.

After my limbs were gone,

Kad su mi uklonili udove,

that loss, for example, became fact, fixed --

taj je gubitak postao činjeničan, fiksiran -

necessarily part of my life,

nužan dio mog života

and I learned that I could no more reject this fact than reject myself.

i shvatio sam da ne mogu odbacivati tu činjenicu, kao ni sebe.

It took me a while, but I learned it eventually.

Trebalo mi je vremena, ali pomirio sam se s tim.

Now, another great thing about necessary suffering

Još jedna sjajna stvar po pitanju nužne patnje

is that it is the very thing

jest upravo ono

that unites caregiver and care receiver --

što ujedinjuje pružatelja i primatelja njege -

human beings.

ljudska bića.

This, we are finally realizing, is where healing happens.

Konačno uviđamo da se tu odvija ozdravljenje.

Yes, compassion -- literally, as we learned yesterday --

Da, suosjećanje - kao što smo doslovno jučer naučili -

suffering together.

zajednička patnja.

Now, on the systems side, on the other hand,

S druge strane, što se sustava tiče,

so much of the suffering is unnecessary, invented.

puno je patnje bespotrebno, izmišljeno.

It serves no good purpose.

Nema neku svrhu.

But the good news is, since this brand of suffering is made up,

Dobra vijest glasi: budući da je ova vrsta patnje izmišljena,

well, we can change it.

možemo je promijeniti.

How we die is indeed something we can affect.

Na to kako umiremo zaista možemo utjecati.

Making the system sensitive to this fundamental distinction

Osvješćivanje sustava o ovoj ključnoj razlici

between necessary and unnecessary suffering

između nužne i bespotrebne patnje

gives us our first of three design cues for the day.

dobivamo prvi od triju dizajnerskih tragova za danas.

After all, our role as caregivers, as people who care,

Ipak je naša uloga kao pružatelja skrbi, kao ljudi koji brinu,

is to relieve suffering -- not add to the pile.

ublažiti patnju, a ne je dodatno pogoršati.

True to the tenets of palliative care,

Prema stanarima staračkog doma,

I function as something of a reflective advocate,

ja sam nešto kao zagovornik refleksije,

as much as prescribing physician.

kao i liječnik koji propisuje terapiju.

Quick aside: palliative care -- a very important field but poorly understood --

Kratka digresija - palijativna njega - važno polje koje je slabo shvaćeno -

while it includes, it is not limited to end of life care.

uključuje njegu na kraju života, ali nije ograničeno na njega.

It is not limited to hospice.

Nije ograničeno na hospicij,

It's simply about comfort and living well at any stage.

već se tiče ugode i kvalitetnog življenja u bilo kojoj fazi života.

So please know that you don't have to be dying anytime soon

Imajte na umu da se ne morate opasno bližiti smrti

to benefit from palliative care.

da biste imali koristi od palijativne njege.

Now, let me introduce you to Frank.

Upoznajte Franka.

Sort of makes this point.

On to nekako i dokazuje.

I've been seeing Frank now for years.

Viđam se s njim godinama.

He's living with advancing prostate cancer on top of long-standing HIV.

Živi s uznapredovanim rakom prostate, kao i s dugogodišnjim virusom HIV.

We work on his bone pain and his fatigue,

Radimo na njegovoj kostobolji i umoru,

but most of the time we spend thinking out loud together about his life --

ali najviše vremena provodimo razmišljajući naglas o njegovu životu -

really, about our lives.

zapravo, o našim životima.

In this way, Frank grieves.

Frank tako tuguje.

In this way, he keeps up with his losses as they roll in,

Tako prati svoje gubitke kako nadolaze,

so that he's ready to take in the next moment.

pa je spreman proživjeti sljedeći trenutak.

Loss is one thing, but regret, quite another.

Gubitak je jedna stvar, ali žaljenje je nešto sasvim drugo.

Frank has always been an adventurer --

Frank je uvijek bio avanturist -

he looks like something out of a Norman Rockwell painting --

izgleda kao da je iskočio sa slike Normana Rockwella -

and no fan of regret.

i nije ljubitelj žaljenja.

So it wasn't surprising when he came into clinic one day,

Nije me iznenadilo kad mi je jednog dana došao u kliniku

saying he wanted to raft down the Colorado River.

i rekao da želi ići na rafting rijekom Colorado.

Was this a good idea?

Je li to bila dobra ideja?

With all the risks to his safety and his health, some would say no.

Imajući na umu sve rizike po njegovu sigurnost i zdravlje, neki bi rekli - ne.

Many did, but he went for it, while he still could.

Mnogi i jesu, ali odvažio se na to dok je još mogao.

It was a glorious, marvelous trip:

Bio je to veličanstven, sjajan put:

freezing water, blistering dry heat, scorpions, snakes,

ledena voda, strašna vrućina, škorpioni, zmije,

wildlife howling off the flaming walls of the Grand Canyon --

zavijanje divljih životinja širilo se uzavrelim zidinama Grand Canyona -

all the glorious side of the world beyond our control.

sva veličanstvena strana svijeta koja je izvan naše kontrole.

Frank's decision, while maybe dramatic,

Iako je Frankova odluka bila dramatična,

is exactly the kind so many of us would make,

to je i odluka na kakvu bi se mnogi od nas odvažili

if we only had the support to figure out what is best for ourselves over time.

kad bi imali podršku osmisliti što je za nas najbolje, dugoročno gledano.

So much of what we're talking about today is a shift in perspective.

Puno toga o čemu danas govorimo tiče se promjene u perspektivi.

After my accident, when I went back to college,

Nakon nesreće, vratio sam se na faks

I changed my major to art history.

i promijenio glavni studij u povijest umjetnosti.

Studying visual art, I figured I'd learn something about how to see --

Mislio sam da ću proučavajući likovnu umjetnost naučiti kako vidjeti -

a really potent lesson for a kid who couldn't change

bila je to moćna lekcija za mladića koji nije mogao promijeniti

so much of what he was seeing.

puno opažanoga.

Perspective, that kind of alchemy we humans get to play with,

Perspektiva, svojevrsna alkemija kojom se mi ljudi igramo -

turning anguish into a flower.

pretvaramo muku u cvijet.

Flash forward: now I work at an amazing place in San Francisco

Sad radim na krasnom mjestu u San Francisku

called the Zen Hospice Project,

koji se zove Hospicijski projekt Zen

where we have a little ritual that helps with this shift in perspective.

gdje imamo mali ritual koji pomaže s ovim promjenama perspektive.

When one of our residents dies,

Kad jedan od naših stanara umre,

the mortuary men come, and as we're wheeling the body out through the garden,

dolaze mrtvozornici i vozimo tijelo kroz vrt,

heading for the gate, we pause.

idemo prema vratima i zastanemo.

Anyone who wants --

Svatko tko želi -

fellow residents, family, nurses, volunteers,

drugi stanari, obitelj, sestre, volonteri,

the hearse drivers too, now --

pa i vozači mrtvačkih kola -

shares a story or a song or silence,

s ostalima podijeli priču, pjesmu ili tišinu

as we sprinkle the body with flower petals.

dok tijelo posipamo laticama cvijeća.

It takes a few minutes;

Traje nekoliko minuta;

it's a sweet, simple parting image to usher in grief with warmth,

to je dražesna, jednostavna slika kojom tugu pratimo toplinom,

rather than repugnance.

a ne gađenjem.

Contrast that with the typical experience in the hospital setting,

Usporedite to s uobičajenim iskustvom u bolnici

much like this -- floodlit room lined with tubes and beeping machines

koje izgleda ovako nekako - osvijetljena soba puna cijevi i aparata

and blinking lights that don't stop even when the patient's life has.

i svjetla koja neprestano trepere, pa čak i nakon smrti pacijenta.

Cleaning crew swoops in, the body's whisked away,

Dolaze čistačice, tijelo jurno odvoze iz prostorije

and it all feels as though that person had never really existed.

i čini se kao da ta osoba nikad nije ni postojala.

Well-intended, of course, in the name of sterility,

Naravno, sve u najboljoj namjeri, u ime sterilnosti,

but hospitals tend to assault our senses,

ali bolnice vrše udar na naša osjetila,

and the most we might hope for within those walls is numbness --

a najviše čemu se možemo nadati unutar tih zidova jest otupjelost -

anesthetic, literally the opposite of aesthetic.

anestetik - doslovno suprotnost estetici.

I revere hospitals for what they can do; I am alive because of them.

Cijenim bolnice zbog svega što rade, zbog njih sam danas živ,

But we ask too much of our hospitals.

ali previše tražimo od naših bolnica.

They are places for acute trauma and treatable illness.

To su mjesta za akutne traume i izlječive bolesti.

They are no place to live and die; that's not what they were designed for.

To nisu mjesta za život i smrt; nisu za to zamišljene.

Now mind you -- I am not giving up on the notion

Pazite, ne odričem se ideje

that our institutions can become more humane.

da naše institucije mogu postati humanije.

Beauty can be found anywhere.

Ljepotu možemo pronaći svugdje.

I spent a few months in a burn unit

Nekoliko mjeseci proveo sam na odjelu za opekotine

at St. Barnabas Hospital in Livingston, New Jersey,

u bolnici sv. Barnabe u Livingstonu, New Jersey

where I got really great care at every turn,

gdje mi je pružana sjajna njega na svakom koraku

including good palliative care for my pain.

uključujući i izvrsnu palijativnu njegu za moje bolove.

And one night, it began to snow outside.

Jedne je večeri počelo sniježiti.

I remember my nurses complaining about driving through it.

Sjećam se da su se sestre žalile što moraju voziti kroz taj snijeg.

And there was no window in my room,

U sobi nije bilo prozora,

but it was great to just imagine it coming down all sticky.

ali bilo je zabavno zamišljati ga kako pada.

Next day, one of my nurses smuggled in a snowball for me.

Sljedećeg dana jedna od mojih sestara prokrijumčarila mi je grudu snijega.

She brought it in to the unit.

Donijela ju je na odjel.

I cannot tell you the rapture I felt holding that in my hand,

Ne mogu vam opisati koliko sam se sjajno osjećao držeći je u ruci

and the coldness dripping onto my burning skin;

dok je hladnoća kapala po mojoj uzavreloj koži;

the miracle of it all,

koliko je to čudesno bilo,

the fascination as I watched it melt and turn into water.

fascinacija s kojom sam promatrao kako se pretvara u vodu.

In that moment,

U tom trenutku

just being any part of this planet in this universe mattered more to me

sama činjenica da sam bilo koji dio ovog planeta u svemiru značilo mi je više

than whether I lived or died.

od činjenice hoću li živjeti ili umrijeti.

That little snowball packed all the inspiration I needed

Da gruda snijega nosila je inspiraciju koja mi je bila potrebna

to both try to live and be OK if I did not.

da pokušam živjeti i da mi ne smeta ako i ne poživim.

In a hospital, that's a stolen moment.

U bolnici je to ukraden trenutak.

In my work over the years, I've known many people

Tijekom godina karijere upoznao sam mnoge ljude

who were ready to go, ready to die.

koji su bili spremni na smrt -

Not because they had found some final peace or transcendence,

ne zato što su pronašli konačan spokoj ili transcedenciju,

but because they were so repulsed by what their lives had become --

nego zato što im se zgadilo to na što su im se životi sveli -

in a word, cut off, or ugly.

Jednom riječju - odvojeni ili ružni.

There are already record numbers of us living with chronic and terminal illness,

Već postoji rekordni broj nas koji živimo s kroničnim i terminalnim bolestima,

and into ever older age.

pa čak i u starijoj dobi.

And we are nowhere near ready or prepared for this silver tsunami.

Nismo ni blizu spremni ili pripravni za ovaj srebrni tsunami.

We need an infrastructure dynamic enough to handle

Treba nam dovoljno dinamična infrastruktura koja će se nositi

these seismic shifts in our population.

s ovim seizmičkim promjenama u našoj populaciji.

Now is the time to create something new, something vital.

Sad je vrijeme da stvorimo nešto novo, nešto ključno.

I know we can because we have to.

Znam da to možemo jer to moramo.

The alternative is just unacceptable.

Alternativa je jednostavno neprihvatljiva,

And the key ingredients are known:

a ključni sastojci su poznati:

policy, education and training,

politika, odgoj i obrazovanje i obuka,

systems, bricks and mortar.

sustavi, cigle i žbuka.

We have tons of input for designers of all stripes to work with.

Imamo hrpu materijala s kojima mogu raditi dizajneri svih orijentacija.

We know, for example, from research

Npr. iz istraživanja znamo

what's most important to people who are closer to death:

što je najvažnije ljudima koji se bliže smrti:

comfort; feeling unburdened and unburdening to those they love;

ugoda; osjećaj neopterećenosti i nestvaranja tereta onima koje vole;

existential peace; and a sense of wonderment and spirituality.

egzistencijalni mir; osjećaj čuđenja i duhovnosti.

Over Zen Hospice's nearly 30 years,

U gotovo trideset godina hospicija Zen

we've learned much more from our residents in subtle detail.

puno smo više detalja naučili od naših stanara.

Little things aren't so little.

Male stvari i nisu toliko male.

Take Janette.

Npr. Janette je

She finds it harder to breathe one day to the next due to ALS.

svakim danom sve teže disati zbog ALS-a.

Well, guess what?

Znate što?

She wants to start smoking again --

Želi ponovno početi pušiti,

and French cigarettes, if you please.

i to francuske cigarete.

Not out of some self-destructive bent,

Ne iz nekog auto-destruktivnog hira,

but to feel her lungs filled while she has them.

već kako bi osjetila kako joj se pluća pune dok ih još uvijek ima.

Priorities change.

Prioriteti se mijenjaju.

Or Kate -- she just wants to know

Ili npr. Kate koja samo želi znati

her dog Austin is lying at the foot of her bed,

da njezin pas Austin leži ispred njezinog kreveta,

his cold muzzle against her dry skin,

njegova hladna njuška na njezinoj suhoj koži

instead of more chemotherapy coursing through her veins --

umjesto dodatne kemoterapije koja joj teče venama -

she's done that.

učinila je to.

Sensuous, aesthetic gratification, where in a moment, in an instant,

Senzualna, estetička zadovoljština u kojoj u trenutku, u sekundi

we are rewarded for just being.

dobijemo nagradu samo zato što postojimo.

So much of it comes down to loving our time by way of the senses,

Toliko se toga svodi na uživanje u preostalom vremenu putem osjetila,

by way of the body -- the very thing doing the living and the dying.

putem tijela - onoga što je zaslužno za život i smrt.

Probably the most poignant room

Vjerojatno najbolnija soba

in the Zen Hospice guest house is our kitchen,

u gostinjskoj kući hospicija Zen naša je kuhinja,

which is a little strange when you realize

što je malo neobično kad shvatite

that so many of our residents can eat very little, if anything at all.

da toliko naših stanara jede vrlo malo ili nimalo.

But we realize we are providing sustenance on several levels:

Svjesni smo da im pružamo podršku na nekoliko različitih razina:

smell, a symbolic plane.

miris, simboličke osnove.

Seriously, with all the heavy-duty stuff happening under our roof,

Ozbiljno, sa svim obvezama koje su se odvijale pod našim krovom,

one of the most tried and true interventions we know of,

jedna od najboljih intervencija koje smo otkrili

is to bake cookies.

jest pečenje kolača.

As long as we have our senses --

Sve dok imamo osjetila -

even just one --

makar samo jedno -

we have at least the possibility of accessing

imamo barem mogućnost pristupa

what makes us feel human, connected.

onome zbog čega se osjećamo kao ljudi, povezano.

Imagine the ripples of this notion

Zamislite posljedice ovoga

for the millions of people living and dying with dementia.

za milijune ljudi koji žive i umiru s demencijom.

Primal sensorial delights that say the things we don't have words for,

Osnovni senzorni užici koji govore stvari za koje mi nemamo riječi,

impulses that make us stay present --

impulsi koji nam pomažu da ostanemo u sadašnjosti -

no need for a past or a future.

bez potrebe za prošlosti ili budućnosti.

So, if teasing unnecessary suffering out of the system was our first design cue,

Ako nam je prvi dizajnerski trag bio uklanjanje nepotrebne patnje iz sustava,

then tending to dignity by way of the senses,

onda je težnja dostojanstvu putem osjetila,

by way of the body -- the aesthetic realm --

putem tijela - estetski realm -

is design cue number two.

drugi dizajnerski trag.

Now this gets us quickly to the third and final bit for today;

To nas je brzo dovelo do trećeg i posljednjeg dijela;

namely, we need to lift our sights, to set our sights on well-being,

moramo podići pogled i pažnju usmjeriti na našu dobrobit

so that life and health and healthcare

kako bi se život i zdravlje i zdravstvo

can become about making life more wonderful,

više usredotočio na uljepšavanje života,

rather than just less horrible.

umjesto na uklanjanje užasnosti.

Beneficence.

Dobrotvornost.

Here, this gets right at the distinction

Ovo pokazuje razliku

between a disease-centered and a patient- or human-centered model of care,

između modela brige usmjerenog na bolest i onog usmjerenog na pacijenta, čovjeka.

and here is where caring becomes a creative, generative,

Tu briga postaje kreativni, proizvodni,

even playful act.

pa čak i zaigran čin.

"Play" may sound like a funny word here.

Riječ "igra" ovdje se može učiniti čudnom,

But it is also one of our highest forms of adaptation.

ali to je ujedno jedan od najviših oblika prilagođavanja.

Consider every major compulsory effort it takes to be human.

Razmislite o svakom većem obveznom naporu koji moramo napraviti da bismo bili ljudi.

The need for food has birthed cuisine.

Potreba za hranom izrodila je kuharstvo.

The need for shelter has given rise to architecture.

Potreba za skloništem izrodila je arhitekturu.

The need for cover, fashion.

Potreba za pokrivanjem - modu.

And for being subjected to the clock,

A kako bismo se podredili satu,

well, we invented music.

izumili smo glazbu.

So, since dying is a necessary part of life,

Budući da je umiranje nužan dio življenja,

what might we create with this fact?

što možemo učiniti s tom činjenicom?

By "play" I am in no way suggesting we take a light approach to dying

"Igrom" nikako ne predlažem da olako pristupimo smrti

or that we mandate any particular way of dying.

ili da naredimo kako umirati.

There are mountains of sorrow that cannot move,

Brda tuge ne možemo pomaknuti

and one way or another, we will all kneel there.

i bilo kako bilo, svi ćemo pred njima pokleknuti.

Rather, I am asking that we make space --

Zapravo tražim da napravimo mjesta -

physical, psychic room, to allow life to play itself all the way out --

fizičkog, psihičkog mjesta da pustimo život da se sam odigra do kraja

so that rather than just getting out of the way,

i da umjesto da mu se samo izmičemo,

aging and dying can become a process of crescendo through to the end.

starenje i umiranje može postati proces koji se razvija sve do kraja.

We can't solve for death.

Ne možemo izliječiti smrt.

I know some of you are working on this.

Znam da neki od vas rade na tome.

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

Meanwhile, we can --

U međuvremenu možemo -

(Laughter)

(Smijeh)

We can design towards it.

- možemo dizajnirati prema njoj.

Parts of me died early on,

Dijelovi mene rano su umrli,

and that's something we can all say one way or another.

a to svi mi možemo reći za sebe ovako ili onako.

I got to redesign my life around this fact,

Dobio sam priliku redizajnirati svoj život oko te činjenice

and I tell you it has been a liberation

i mogu vam reći da je bilo oslobađajuće

to realize you can always find a shock of beauty or meaning

shvatiti da uvijek možete pronaći iznenađujuću ljepotu ili smisao

in what life you have left,

u životu koji vam je preostao,

like that snowball lasting for a perfect moment,

poput one grude snijega koja je stvorila savršen trenutak

all the while melting away.

topeći se.

If we love such moments ferociously,

Ako divljački volimo te trenutke,

then maybe we can learn to live well --

onda možda možemo naučiti dobro živjeti -

not in spite of death,

ne u inat smrti,

but because of it.

već zbog nje.

Let death be what takes us,

Neka smrt bude ono što će nas izbrisati,

not lack of imagination.

a ne manjak mašte.

Thank you.

Hvala vam.

(Applause)

(Pljesak)
