That isn’t the question, for me. The question is “how long can I stay active?”
That is why I’m doing cardio 5 days a week, lifting weights and returning to my SCA sword fighting ways after a nearly 20 year absence. I have to die, but I want to cram as much into my life as I can!
This reminds me of what I tell people who complain about birthdays and getting older – the alternative to getting old is dying young. Makes aging sound pretty good.
I think it all comes down to genetics and fate for the most part; maybe revising habits might give you 10 more years of physical life, but is it worth it if your mind is gone?
I worked in a nursing home in high school and for sure I don’t wan’t my body to outlive my mind. It is painful that your mother thinks your are the visiting nurse.
Damn, I sort of love you right now.
