But what is the meaning of "old".
Only matters what you feel inside and how you move forward with your life.
You only live once why care about unnecessary stuff like that haha?)
Just live how you want to live.
And life will become a pleasure instead of everyday struggle.
Or maybe i'm talking nonsence. I don't know.
But i'm sure that there is a way to live in a balance with yourself and surrounding world.
The mind does not age but the brain does...and the body ages and dies. One can find balance, but that does not erase, aging, illness, and death....upekkha is equanimity but it does not negate the laws of nature.
Im unraveling...this world is made of extremes, its samsara.
Define old: my telomeres are getting short😂
Aging, illness, death - it's paradoxical as it is a severe topic and it's trivial at the same time.
Aging.. You'r young!) And very attractive woman by the way.. You know? And will be for a long time.
Illness - Well, there is a choice to fight or surrender.
Death oh well. For some people who struggled with a lot of pain in their life it's just away to finally find rest.
Okey i just understood that im crazy. I'm sorry)
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😉😁
