its a major bummer man...
not too many people live with quality in their final years....
its not always something terminal/painful but more often than not something is going on...
it usually starts for people in their 40's too.....thats when the meds start.
BP meds or cholesterol meds....little by little the cocktails to keep us going start and it sucks.
i always call it the cosmic joke....the universe has been here for like 14 billion years. earth has been here for around 4 billion. if we humans are
lucky we get what, 80 years give or take?
assuming we are the pinnacle of health till we are 80, how many of those years do we actually get to enjoy?
i always say throw out the first and last 10...a good chunk of the first 10 we dont remember and a good chunk of the last 10 is spent steady going
down hill. now we are at 60 years on this rock.
throw out the years spent sleeping and working...i would think half of each 24 hour day is spent doing both combined.
so what, now we are at 30....
throw out all the time spent sick, running errands, yard work, cleaning gutters, etc etc...all the # we do but dont really want to....what are we left
with...
20-25?
i dont know. my formula is not perfect but you get the drift.
out of all the time this planet has been here, we get a blip of 25 years to actually do things we want to do. to experience things we want to
experience...travel etc...
it really blows....
thats my take on it
