"[The mystery of death:] Do not fear death, but welcome it, since it too comes from nature. For just as we are young and grow old, and flourish and reach maturity, have teeth and a beard and grey hairs, conceive, become pregnant, and bring forth new life, and all the other natural processes that follow the seasons of our existence, so also do we have death. A thoughtful person will never take death lightly, impatiently, or scornfully, but will wait for it as one of life's natural processes." - Marcus Aurelius

That happened to me when I was 19. It was a terrible, terrifying thing. And I live my life like those people decided to do when they were old. So, since I was 19, I've had the most fun possible every single day, even when I had a rough life. It was the army which taught me about life, and the theater which taught me how good it could be." - Michael Caine

There was a clump of strawberries beside him, and certain death above him and below. What should he do? went the question. And the reply was, Eat the strawberries. The story had never made sense to him as a boy. It did now." - Neil Gaiman

[Quote No.57630] Need Area: Body > General
"[On aging written in his eighties, after being diagnosed with a terminal illness:] My father, who lived to 94, often said that the 80s had been one of the most enjoyable decades of his life. He felt, as I begin to feel, not a shrinking but an enlargement of mental life and perspective. One has had a long experience of life, not only one's own life, but others', too. One has seen triumphs and tragedies, booms and busts, revolutions and wars, great achievements and deep ambiguities, too. One has seen grand theories rise, only to be toppled by stubborn facts. One is more conscious of transience and, perhaps, of beauty. At 80, one can take a long view and have a vivid, lived sense of history not possible at an earlier age. I can imagine, feel in my bones, what a century is like, which I could not do when I was 40 or 60. I do not think of old age as an ever grimmer time that one must somehow endure and make the best of, but as a time of leisure and freedom, freed from the factitious urgencies of earlier days, free to explore whatever I wish, and to bind the thoughts and feelings of a lifetime together." - Dr. Oliver Sacks

[Quote No.57631] Need Area: Body > General
"[On aging: 20's - 40's, written in her early 40's looking back] Any traces of precocity I ever had are long forgotten. I am not and will never again be a young writer, a young homeowner, a young teacher. I was never a young wife. The only thing I could do now for which my youth would be a truly notable feature would be to die. If I died now, I'd die young. Everything else, I'm doing middle-aged. I am nostalgic for my twenties (most of them, anyway; twenty and twenty-one were squandered at college; twenty-four was kind of a wash, too) but I can tell you for sure that they weren't as great as I now crack them up to be. I was always broke, I was often lonely, and I had some really terrible clothes. But my life was shiny and unblemished. Everything was ahead of me. I walked around with an abiding feeling that, at any given time, anything could go in any direction. And it was often true. ... I didn't want to miss anything. I wanted to stretch out over the city like a giant octopus. I wanted enough appendages to be able to ring every door buzzer simultaneously. There was some switch turned on in my brain that managed to make 90 percent of conversations feel interesting or useful or, if nothing else, worth referencing later if only by way of describing how boring this person was who I got stuck talking to. ... This was a time in my life when I was so filled with longing for so many things that were so far out of reach that at least once a day I thought my heart would implode from the sheer force of unrequited desire. By desire I am not referring to apartments I wanted to occupy or furniture I wanted to buy or even people I was attracted to (well, I'm referring to those things a little) but, rather, a sensation I can only describe as the ache of not being there yet. ... [In an imaginary encounter between her younger self she considers how gobsmacked her Younger Self would be by the notion that a few decades later, she'd be reminiscing fondly about the cumulative timescape of the very things presently exasperating her:] I can imagine her looking at Older Self in horrified astonishment. 'I'm going to be reminiscing about this?' she'd ask while the ATM spat out her card and flashed 'insufficient funds' across the screen. 'You're telling me that when I'm forty-five I'll be pining for the temp jobs and cheap shoes that now comprise my life? You're telling me this is as good as it gets? You're telling me, contrary to everything I tell myself, that it's actually all downhill from here?' To which I'd hope that Older Self would have the good sense to assure Younger Self that that is not what she is saying, that indeed things will only go up from here. Maybe not right away and certainly not without some deep valleys to offset the peaks (as well as a few sharp left turns, as long as we're speaking in euphemisms) but with enough steadiness to suggest that whatever she is doing now more or less constitutes being on the right track. ... 'Listen,' Older Self might say. 'The things that right now seem permanently out of reach, you'll reach them eventually. You'll have a career, a house, a partner in life. You will have much better shoes. You will reach a point where your funds will generally be sufficient — maybe not always plentiful, but sufficient.' ... [The sensation of 'everything is in front of you', along with inexperience, will diminish but...] On the subject of growing up, or feeling that you have succeeded in doing so, I'm pretty sure the consensus is that it's an illusion. Probably no one ever really feels grown-up... [but perspective and experience will grow as will wisdom as compensation.] ... " - Meghan Daum
(1970 - ), American author, essayist, and journalist. Quote from her book, 'The Unspeakable: And Other Subjects of Discussion', published 2014. [https://www.brainpickings.org/2014/12/09/meghan-daum-unspeakable/ ]

[Quote No.58872] Need Area: Body > General
"[Aging gracefully and eating a healthy, nutritious diet for active longevity:] Blue Zones is a concept used to identify a demographic and/or geographic area of the world where people live measurably longer lives. The concept grew out of demographic work done by Gianni Pes and Michel Poulain, who identified Sardinia's Nuoro province as the region with the highest concentration of male centenarians. As the two men zeroed in on the cluster of villages with the highest longevity, they drew concentric blue circles on the map and began referring to the area inside the circle as the Blue Zone. Dan Buettner identifies longevity hotspots in Okinawa (Japan); Sardinia (Italy); Nicoya (Costa Rica); Icaria (Greece); and among the Seventh-day Adventists in Loma Linda, California, and offers an explanation, based on empirical data and first hand observations, as to why these populations live healthier and longer lives. The five regions identified and discussed by Buettner in the book 'The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer from the People Who've Lived the Longest': --- 1. Sardinia, Italy (particularly Nuoro province and Ogliastra): one team of demographers found a hot spot of longevity in mountain villages where men reach the age of 100 years at an amazing rate. --- 2. The islands of Okinawa, Japan: another team examined a group that is among the longest-lived on Earth. --- 3. Loma Linda, California: researchers studied a group of Seventh-day Adventists who rank among North America's longevity all-stars. --- 4. Nicoya Peninsula, Costa Rica: the peninsula was the subject of research on a Quest Network expedition which began on January 29, 2007. --- 5. Icaria, Greece: an April 2009 study on the island of Ikaria uncovered the location with the highest percentage of 90-year-olds on the planet – nearly 1 out of 3 people make it to their 90s. Furthermore, Ikarians 'have about 20 percent lower rates of cancer, 50 percent lower rates of heart disease and almost no dementia.' Residents of the first three places produce a high rate of centenarians, suffer a fraction of the diseases that commonly kill people in other parts of the developed world, and enjoy more healthy years of life. ... The people inhabiting Blue Zones share common lifestyle characteristics that contribute to their longevity. ... Buettner in his book provide a list of nine lessons, covering the lifestyle of blue zones people: - 1.Moderate, regular physical activity. - 2.Life purpose. - 3.Stress reduction. - 4.Moderate calories intake. - 5.Plant-based diet [Semi-vegetarianism – except for the Sardinian diet, the majority of food consumed is derived from plants]. - 6.Moderate alcohol intake, especially wine [Less smoking]. - 7.Engagement in spirituality or religion. - 8.Engagement in family life. - 9.Engagement in social life." - wikipedia.org

"All the inventions and devices ever constructed by the human hand or conceived by the human mind, no matter how delicate, how intricate and complicated, are simple, childish toys compared with that most marvelously wrought mechanism, the human body.
