That's weird.
Why on earth not?
I know a ton of 70 and 80 year olds who are running around (literally) having a good time traveling, playing sports, etc.

LOL, at 108 years old??? If you live that long you likely have serious hearing and/or vision issues.

Get out there and bowl, lol!

I saw a kung fu movie where an old man was beating up a lot of young fighters. It took 3 expert fighters to finally kill him. So, it's possible to be old and in excellent shape.

Hopefully I'll be dead by my 70s. Tired of being alive and tbh 50 more years of life sounds dreadful to me.

People in Biblical times lived longer but things have changed.

Would rather die younger.

I wish I could check-out when I want to, when I'm ready. When I've done what I wanted, seen what I wanted, experience what I've wanted. It's a journey that needs an end destination. A book with a last chapter. I don't want to hang-on just to be alive. When all is said and done, time to turn the lights out and close the door.

Yep, I believe that a healthy 70 year old has some great golden years ahead. It's what you do in your younger years that are the key to longevity I feel. Life's a marathon not a sprint, slow down enjoy the train ride.The station will arrive soon enough as the timeless poem by Robert Hastings tells us.....
