Help!
My uncle is in hospital, can't eat drink, shit properly. MISERABLE
Is it wise to give him Meditations by Aurelius?
I don't want him to kill himself
/adv/ pls
Are you sure he is in a state where he gain anything by reading? It's freaking hard to concentrate when you are in heavy pain and haven't eaten properly in a while.
Maybe just be there for him, instead of using his hospitalization to push yourself as an intellectual.

Not close to him, he has free time.
I remember playing video games with him once.
I don't want my uncle to kill himself, this isn't about being an intellectual.
He's super depressed.

On the other hand, reading may be the only productive/fulfilling thing he can manage, which can be a big help in staving off the misery of being sick and useless.
By the way, you're a cunt for presuming right off the bat that OP is using a sick family member to be pretentious.

As he is hospitalized with depression, you can bet your life that his cognitive impairments, due to the depression, will not make him able enjoy or grown from Aurelius right now.
