[quote=Anonymous][quote=Amazin][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Amazin][quote=Anonymous]I have written before. It is in the person.  Someone who is healthy is middle aged at 65. I, battling cancer and heart issues, am older at 52.   I will be surprised if I make it to 65....[/quote]

I just hope that the terrible health issues you face weren't brought on by things like smoking. Stuff like that can really age you. Regardless, best wishes and I hope you beat them.[/quote]

What a nasty thing to say to someone battling serious illness.

"Maybe it's all your fault, but best wishes!"[/quote]

Ditto![/quote]

I feel very sorry for the person undergoing these terrible health issues. But in an anonymous public forum my message was directed to those who wreck their bodies and then say "why me?" The OP did not provide any perspective on what might have brought on his/her condition. If it's simply genetics or whatever I'm truly sorry... and grateful that I have not drawn the same bad card . But we have to accept that there are many behaviors that influence our middle age health. Do you smoke, do you drink too much, do you consume twice as many calories as you burn....the list is endless. I have great sympathy for anyone facing health problems but I only have great empathy for those who have tried hard to live a reasonably health lifestyle. [/quote]

No one wants your sympathy or your empathy. You are a cipher of a human. [/quote]
