Old age is not natural.

It just doesn't happen in the wild where the lifestyle is healthy and every animal is physically fit and active.

We, on the other hand, propped up by modern medicine, live way past our sell-by dates like shriveled brown leaves clinging to branches of trees in the harshness of winter.

It's not natural.

@metaldog Precisely. Even climbing on a horse to move faster is unnatural.

@sree251 so do we not progress and keep playing with rocks?

@metaldog Progress at what cost in terms of a stressful existence plagued by conflict and wars?

@sree251 stress and conflict have always existed...hopefully the next level is a move away from that ✨

@metaldog Next level is going to be worse. As Steve Jobs said, look back at where we came from and connect the dots. Our stress level is trending upwards. The last 50 years was when we seemed to have stepped on the gas.
