I understand you perfectly, but my Buddhist training has taught me to face the facts with equanimity. We all will face birth, illness, aging, and death, how we handle this type of suffering will either free us from the rounds of rebirth or keep us in the cycle of samsara. I like to face reality square-on, how I react will be my choice, I will chose to not blindly react to things I like or dislike! It's a fact, I'm getting old and it hurts...getting old is not for the faint of heart.
I'm middle age, closing in on 60 years old, my looks are not as important to me as my health. At this age it's all about staying healthy, I want to surf samsara for another 40 years😉😁
