Now that I'm old and close to death I don't fear either. It turns out life is pretty much what you've been told.
It flies by
You only have one life don't spend it worrying
Enjoy it
Don't hold grudges
That's their problem not yours
You're lucky quit complaining
Quit spending so much
Yes, all women do "that"

At 81 years old, I am in old age. I fear neither.

I don't fear either one. Being as they're both inevitable, one can hasten death by worrying too damn much !

And those that get to grow old are fortunate to enjoy a privilege denied to too many.

Old age isn't bad at all. Of course, I'm not even 60 yet...

I fear dying a painful, prolonged death.

I do not fear death but I do fear old age which precedes death.
