What we do know is that the human body, despite its extraordinary mending abilities (cuts, broken bones etc), will deteriorate with age. There is no escape.
Some of us are luckier than others. I'm 72 and our family has some good genes.
But for others...my heart aches and I make sure St. Jude gets a piece of my action.
“It is appointed once for man to die.”
Really no getting around that.
