Life Is Short

Life is short, but why work for longer life expectancy? Why take care of your health to live beyond 60 or 50? We all know that senior life is a pain to the knee (and back). Even if we have a faithful partner (and complete life insurances), we just cannot enjoy life as much as we were at 20s than at 60s. Do you think you could still trek mountains at 60? Can you still walk around a foreign city the whole day or play a sport? So, why live longer?

Society should not design health programs to extend life. Health programs should develop body that could take advantage of an active young life.

But of course, you will live longer if you have a healthy body when you were young. Senior life is a bonus. Senior life is not meant to be enjoyed like youth. It should be rested and settled peacefully.
