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.

So, you are arguing we should die younger? That's the definition of health? Maybe, if we are too live in harmony with the planet, which we don't, and I see no example of where we do.... I'm just curious of the angle where you are coming from.

@thewindupbirdchronicles Dying younger is not natural either. There is a time to die, and we should not call 911 to mess with that regardless of age. Just get out when the body wants to go. It's cruel to ride a horse regardless of its condition. It's the same with the body.

@sree251 I can't agree with your logic, sorry. Though it reads as of someone sad who doesn't know what to make of life.

@thewindupbirdchronicles Your are right. I really don't know what to make of life. I mean it. It's a mystery to me. What makes it horrible is that we are all trap in a frightening reality. Whatever for? You have a good reason why you are alive? Tell me.
