I hit 60 last October. However, unless I do something Stupid, like looking in a mirror, or skipping a few stairs, my "Inner Guy" still thinks I'm in my mid, to late, 20's!
Given my Family's general longevity, and my history of shrugging off infections, disease, etc., and even considering my continued smoking (of tobacco), I think I'm likely to be living much longer than I would wish!
I do agree with the sentiment of being Alive vs. "Living"! That is, indeed, a very relevant point!
There have been times when I've thought that "Ending IT Now" would be a tremendous Favor to those around me, and myself. HOWEVER, my innate Curiosity has generally been winning out, and I want to stick around just to see how it might all play out!
I've been doing the "saving thing" (401K), and thinking about "The Future". However, in the mean time, I can't exactly say I've been "Living"!
My entire existence has been about "What's the Point?". Maybe I should be thinking about "What's the Point, NOW?"
Everything considered, I'm doing pretty Good! Not, by any means, GREAT, but O.K.
Should I continue to be concerned with "what might Be"? OR ... Should I realign my perspective along the lines of "what Is"?
I've heard it said that, "We are all Spiritual Beings enjoying a
Temporary Physical Existence" SO ... If it's all coming to an end, eventually, why not stick around to see the end of the story?
How much longer will I still be "Here"? Who knows? Butt, maybe I should take more stock in what is happening NOW!
Of course ... no matter what ... and this is meant Sincerely ...
Keep smilin'!!
