Look, we are all going to die. And when you are 20, that is unthinkable. But as I've well passed my half century, I'm getting closer to the inevitable.
And one thing strikes me. I'm never going to be as strong, clever or funny as I have been in the past. Or handsome, or sexy. I will end up old and weak, and though people may say that my mind is still sharp, they won't mean its really sharp, just that its good compared to other old people.
In short, I'm on the downward part of life. About the only thing going for me is experience, but since I don't remember stuff as well as I used to, I think its safe to assume that even my experience is going downhill.
Its a bit depressing really. And it suggests the need to find a better way to look at life.
