I have lost a friend and a collegue last week due to leukemia i.e. cancer of the blood which he suffered for the last 3 years. He was only 44 years old. There could be numerous reasons why and how he got the cancer in his blood.
As I get older, I now live in the present. I think when we are young, we always live in the future, but when we are old we tend to live very much in the present. I know a lot of older people who live in the past. I suppose I am an old person, because some kids call me auntie, although I have never thought of myself in that way. There's a life to be lived, but I don't live in the future and I don't live in the past. I live very much in the present.
I guess if we are physically unwell, people talk about the arrogance of good health. When we are healthy we just take it for granted, but I think we would very quickly feel otherwise if we became ill.
I suppose it's extremely important, as an older person, we must have power and money, because if you don't have the power and you don't have money you do get pushed into a corner. Our society is made in such a way, and by power I mean we don't have to be a Prime Minister or the King but must have control over something in our life so that we are not seen as an object or a victim. Well, it's just observation not that I experience any of that sort.
Well, I suppose some may differ from my views in life but I am open to comments. Thanks
