I’m 80 and what upsets me the most is that when I was young, no old people had the common decency to warn me
and tell me what was coming. It seems that old age is the punishment for the evil things we have done over the years.
LOL! Yeah, I’m 79 and a lot of old bills are coming due. As my father used to say, “If I’d known I would live this long I would have taken better care of myself.”
What would they have warned you (or me) about?
I tell people that age is inevitable and they shouldn’t worry about it. It sneaks up slowly enough that we have time to adapt.
The idea that it’s ‘punishment’ is ridiculous. We are all subject to genetics, disease, and simple wear and tear; and if we’ve been lazy about caring for our health, that’s the only thing we’re ‘punished’ for.

But for the saved- this life is as close to hell as we will ever get- yeah, it can get bad, but hell is going to reportedly be much much worse- for the unsaved- the saved however only have to endure a little time of suffering and then eternity with God
Or a natural progression for almost all living things.
Just because their “old” isn’t 80 or 90 doesn’t mean they dont get old.
I know, right? I just turned 71 on Tuesday and wish I’d been warned by the senior citizens I knew yrs ago about how fast the body starts to deteriorate after 65 or so. I also can’t lose weight as easily as I used to which is extremely aggravating.
Getting old isn’t for sissies...
