What is your take on life now?
I recently (ie. In the last ten years) loved the meme that said "better to crawl into your grave with a broken, battered and repaired body than one that is in the same condition when born because you know that you have experienced life to the max!"

Second option? No grave? No death?
@FrayedBear The second option is to go to the grave in the same condition as that in which you were born. I have actually changed quite a bit since then. I think everybody has.
@Coffeo Unless dying age 21 you have no chance of that. It's all downhill from 21. The degree of downhill varies from person to person but even wannabe Peter Pans like Jane Fonda or Cher eventually succumb to ageing.
@FrayedBear Exactly.
Who crawls into their grave, except maybe zombies?
I wouldn't equate a battered body with living life to the full. Our bodies break down and die, that's just how it is. We can try to look after ourselves despite this knowledge anyway. I feel that that is what we should do. Living life to the full really depends on resources to do things, not battering ourselves. I guess I see a false equivalence here.

I'm not advocating masochism & self inflicted deliberate damage. Anyone who has participated in sport know how "accidents" result in injury.
