Is There Any Point to Being Old?

[obsidian]

Lots of 50 year old jumping on here saying how good life is.

Don't get me wrong. At 50 you still look ok and have a respectable energy about you. But when you get old, I am talking 65 and over, you're an irrelevant member of society. You'll think about your youth and see how the world now caters for the young, everyone is just waiting for you to die off now...go enjoy your cup of tea at home as the world goes by.

Trump is over 65 and highly relevant.

Not quite, he will be next December.

Kirk in 1950. I was only 6 years old at the time.

He will be 101 in 2 months. He was born in December 9, 1916. His wife should never have done plastic surgery. Looks like the joker now - an old one. He probably also had surgery.

So he was 34 then. Amazing to think he is still around 67 years later. Shows you how fragile life is. The Earth is billions of years old and humans and other animals barely make it to 100. Some turtles live over 200 years and a few plants survive for a few thousand years - but that's still nothing in the grand scheme of things. Of course everything in the Universe has an expiration date, including our own Sun and all other stars in the Universe. That's how it has all been designed in a cycle of life and death.

I'm having a blast. The hardest part of my life at the moment is trying to decide where to travel next. Because of our 2 11 year old Yorkies, it's not always easy. I love em, but damn.. they can be more hindering than children when you're wanting to travel and the wife thinks they are children. At 55 my medical issues are minor. Lower back pain if standing too long, that's about it. I have testosterone pellets every 3. 5 months that keep me around 900 and a years supply of Cialis. LIfe is good. BUT... 20 or 30 years from now, if I'm fortunate enough to dodge cancer and buses, if my quality of life isn't where I want to be, and I am a burden to others, I have no problem ending it. No one gets out alive.. getting out on your own terms.. that's the best we can hope for.

Have to smile at the question about whether there is any point to being old. Well, you all won't have that long to wait. Time flies as they say. Of course we don't see ourselves as getting old. If there were no mirrors or cameras we would hardly know!

As Zorba the Greek said, "I have enough fight in me to, to, devour the world....so, I fight!" We have the internet and it opens the doors to many wonderful things/people, ideas, etc. I feel sorry for those who don't know what to do. Not that anyone wins.

Well of course there is no real point. No one feels good as they get older. Sure you can feel "good" for your age, but you are not going to feel as good at 50 than you do at 20. Posting pics of guys in their 70's with abs means shit. We all get old or die young. Deal with it or kill your self. I say this with as much love as possible.  

Bullshit.

I feel better.

Bullshit.

I feel better.

I feel like 80 these days.


Definitely much worse for wear than in my epic 20s.

How old are you ? Your hardly very relevant either. 

What about your parents & grandparents If they are all alive
Are they also totally irrelevant.
