If and when I get old | |||

I don’t want people to treat me like I need some special care, consideration or respect just because I’m old. I want to be interested in people and engaged with them. I want to be doing a special, fairly vigorous exercise routine so that I’m strong, supple and have good stamina. I don’t want any annoying aches and pains. I want to be on a diet of super foods so I have all the right nutrition ---good for the body and good for the mind/brain. I want scientists to get cracking sorting out gene therapy, and all sorts of other stuff, so that their work ( along with the exercise and diet) will effectively make me feel 15 to 20 years younger. An added bonus would be to also look 15 to 20 years younger too, ho hum. I want to be reading, thinking, watching, listening, moving, playing for my entire life till I kick the proverbial bucket. I don’t want to be constantly thinking about my mortality and wondering when I’m going to die. I might decide to devote half a day or a full day once every 6 months, or once a year, to thinking about dying but never think of it otherwise. I want lots of other things too. I don’t want lots of other things too. Maybe I’ll officially consider myself old in 20 years time when I’m approaching 80 but I might leave it for 30 years instead. Assuming I reach 60 and beyond, of course. I don’t want to look at a vid such as this interview with Lenny and feel slightly depressed and thinking what an arsehole the interviewer is for dwelling on death so much. If someone thinks I’m an expert on death and dying because I’m old and ask me questions about it I want to reply “ Well, I can’t tell you right now as I haven’t died yet. Besides, maybe you’ll die before me.”
Vids a bit long ...could seem boring depending on what mood you're in. Modified by Dermot at Sun, Jun 21, 2009, 20:18:45 |
