Why can’t people who’ve reached a ripe old age be more grateful?

When you get old you do not sleep and everything hurts. Even the “healthy” people that age talk about their medical problems all the time. It is not fun being that old. Do not kid yourself with oh aunt jame is 75, sharp as a tack and in great health.

I agree, which is why I plan on dying before I’m 75. What I can’t understand is people who choose to stay alive at their old age and simultaneously complain about being that age.

Being alive is a gift and most people feel that way, even when they’re physically suffering. No doubt it’s very hard. But their choices are none of your business. Also, you’ve exhibited the same behavior that distresses you throughout this thread. So, maybe take a look in the mirror, take a walk, get some fresh air and perspective. It’s not all about you.

It comes down to a choice between suffering and being dead. If an old person is alive and suffering, that’s their choice and they shouldn’t complain. Now if a young person is alive and suffering, I have sympathy because they haven’t lived a full life, and it makes sense that wouldn’t want to die.

OP, it sounds like you have a serious empathy deficit. You really can't figure out why some people this age might be depressed and/or living with chronic pain?

If you live past your time, health issues are to be expected. I actually do feel empathy whenever I see someone under 30 who’s blind, in a wheelchair, etc.

Live past your time? What kind of awful view is this?

How about living a long wonderful life and feeling a little sad and depressed at the realization that you’re no longer able to do some of the things that you used to? Or sad because you’ve lost some independence? Or even just frustrated that you’re closer to the end of your life than you’d like to be.

Have some empathy. My gosh.

What I do have is a sense of fairness, which is why I’m going to make sure I’m dead by the age of 75.

Bet you aren’t.

You are being inconsistent. If you were consistent, you would say any person who is suffering is choosing to suffer rather than kill themselves. Age has nothing to do with it. In your world.

If you get a horrible painful terminal illness when you are 50, what will you do?

I wouldn’t have access to that medication over the counter.

You wouldn’t need medication but if you plan it right you can stockpile enough. You just don’t want to actually do it; you want someone else to do it for you.

A doctor wouldn't do it. Pp is just blowing hot air - has no intention of checking out - just can't stand the idea of being old.

The only way to avoid getting old is to die young.

It’s in their own power to put an end to that.

Maybe they don’t believe in that option. Many don’t. And for just being “ungrateful” seems more than a little ridiculous. That’s more your problem than theirs.

Really a cold, cruel response.

Because being old can really suck. Your body is breaking down and you have all sorts of health issues and you often feel crappy.

Damn you lack empathy.

Of course that’s what PP is doing. But it is fun to bait them into revealing their craven nature.

Well, there’s a simple solution for them in that case.


This is the cold and cruel comment.

If it sucks, why don’t they end it?
