Aging is necessary but chronic illness and
pain are not.
If you have managed to free your loved one from having totake pills or from certain disabilities that would soon require
pills, you can give yourself great credit. Perhaps you, too, will
find the needed natural help when you are aged and have lost
your authority and your way mentally. Our lives are all fore
shortened, much like the life of a domestic steer's. Does a captive
animal learn from seeing its companion disappear? It does
nothing to escape its fate. Should we accept our fate with the
same docility? None of us can remember how things were in
precivilized times. We are eager to believe the present is the best
time that has ever been. The steer, too, has its feed provided, its
water provided, its shelter for the night provided, seemingly the
best time it ever had. Perhaps the price we pay for civilization,
like the steer's price, is simply too high. There must be other
ways. As a society, we should search for our lost longevity.
