About This Quote
It feels scary getting old, to experience the gradual deterioration of the body and the mind. We all know this to be true. But we also know that we should not be afraid of getting old. When we get old, we do so only because we have chosen to live a good and happy life.
We can choose to stop living and then we will suffer. But if we continue to live a good life, the feelings of fear and sadness will never come.
