Mixed feelings. As I said, "...probably no country for old men who want to live long enough to become a burden to their children. Probably okay though for old men who don't mind going out in a blaze of glory regardless of how much an ignominious fizzle that blaze may appear to others."Abou-Gor wrote:No. Are you?LTO wrote:Pretty obvious to everybody I think.

Not everybody is willing to trade lifestyle, (or whatever it is they find attractive about living in a place like this,) for the greater chance of living to the very last possible second.

A quote to live by and oft quoted by me to blank stares...
Savor the fruit of life, my young friends, it has a sweet taste when it is fresh from the vine...
But don't live too long, the taste turns bitter...after a time....

It would be remiss of us not to include a quote from Hunter S Thompson on the subject.
“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

^an oft repeated quote, which suggests the only way to have a full life is to live it at top speed and with heightened emotions/in a full on adrenalin rush
The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.

The downside of course is living out your later years with all manner of physiological repercussions. Hunter may have made living hard sound romantic but the realities are most people will die after a prolonged period of suffering because of their self abuse. Having said that, many find it a reasonable proposition or trade-off, obviously.violet wrote:^an oft repeated quote, which suggests the only way to have a full life is to live it at top speed and with heightened emotions/in a full on adrenalin rush

when the body gives out and i can no longer enjoy what i enjoy, time to check out, I will NOT hold on,( saw an aunt shrivel up and die of cancer in an hospital ) while someone cares for my basic needs
