I am in my eightieth year. This is actually true - I am not imagining this. And there is notable evidence of my longevity. Sore and weak knees, aching back and hips, falling asleep like a baby and so and so on.
But there are some positive effects of having achieved this level of existence. For example, I really know a lot. Of course, much of this knowledge is trivial and only suitable for game shows. But a surprising amount is useful and satisfying.
Another result of having lived a long time is my ability to savor life: my life, the lives of others, and the life in all living things.
This may be of interest only to me. What is the reaction of those who read this?
