Much truth to be seen, some seem self programed to age and die, and do, others run away from home and join the circus.
At 60 I see many people who are done, and younger than me, and a few twenty years older who I cannot keep up with.
I mentioned starting a new business at sixty, an eight-two year old told me about starting a recording studio when he was my age. it paid for the booze for twenty years, then he sold, and was looking for a new venture. he was very good with computers.
Young people are dangerous, they grow old and die. After sixty five most are gone, and any who make the 70 and still going club, stay active, get around, and enjoy life more than anyone else.
Most start dying in high school, in their mind, and once they buy in, the rest follows. By the time they reach the end, they want it to end. Long life is not for everyone, but there are more active old people than aspies.
One of the first rules of getting rich, is live longer. When most die at 45, live to be 90. By the charts my mother dies at 55, but that was 33 years ago, and she would rather go bowling, swimming, and hit the casinos. Some people are just to busy to die.
Staying lean and active are the keys, I have never acted my age, and I am not going to. Nineteen and a lot of stuff, describes the long lived. Go live in the mountains, walk every day, walk till you can go from sunrise to sunset, humans were made to move, to pump, and it does move stagnant things through. Just sitting on the sofa is killing yourself.
My age group has been thinned by war, cars, heart attacks, various self destructions of an unhappy body, and just plain gave up. Every now and then I see someone my age or older passing through on their motorcycle, living in the big world, ignoring the kids, and without the loads that life likes to put on us.
When you are not paying for some woman, whoever's kids, supporting three levels of government, and a mass of other leaches, it is easy to pile some up, and migrate with the sun. They are happy and detached.
They went to the big school, most of the class dies. From sixty to ninety is a ride.
With knowledge gained, a network of people who can be trusted, starting new ventures is easy. There is an over seventy biker gang, they have secret meeting places, they have knowledge, and I look forward to joining.
Not everyone is cut out for long life. Most quit early. I would not have it any other way. Sit on the sofa, watch TV, and eat, eat, eat, by.
