To be honest. I want to die young. Or I want to die when my mind is still clear. I see old people just can't think straight anymore. I'm afraid that when I grow old and become forgetful or naughty or grouchy. I know no one can live forever. I really don't mind if I'm getting old. But what I don't like is losing what is precious to me and that is presence of mind.

But we can't do anything about it. We will always be on that stage no matter what. It's inevitable. Let's just accept the fact that it'll happen anytime in our future. For now, enjoy that you still have your presence of mind. :)

That's true. Enjoy life as its last. Although I'm not really happy on what happen to me in the last five years of my life I still do believe that theirs still a great future for me. I just don't need to give up hope. I'm happy and hoping that this year I can find a job. Its been six years since I last have a job.

I definitely agree with you. I have spent the majority of my life around elderly people. They are always hurting, grouchy, and forgetful. I would definitely take dying young (in a peaceful way) over that.

But the big question is how will you know that you are starting to become forgetful? lols. I really don't want to loss my memory. I rather loss both my feet than my memory. For me my greatest treasure is my memory. Without remember the fun and the painful things that happen to my life I don't see what the point of living.
