Old People Die - Not! Age Has Nothing to Do With Death, But Health Does
Most people think that age kills.
And yet that is the furthest thing from the truth, from reality.
Are you like most people who just immediately think that you have to be old to be dead or dying? If so, you had better re-evaluate your ideas after you hear what I have to say.
Death and dying is no more related to old people, or seniors than it is related to young people or cheese sandwiches.
In other words, you cannot say that someone is dying or near death simply because they are old.
That judgment is far from the truth.
Fact is that most people not die from old age, but they die from illness and accidents, and they die from murders and from all sorts of things that really are not related to old age.
Some people, even those that are old, might die but might die from unforeseen circumstances.
Young people die too.
Healthy people die.
So our assumptions that death and dying is just for the old people who are not healthy is a mistaken idea.
I know someone who was near death, a ten year old who had open-heart surgery.
And I met someone (years prior to this) who was just about eighteen years old who was killed while trying to change a flat tire right off the Belt Parkway.
And I know someone of age 45 who died right at her dining room table in the middle of dinner and none of her family had any clue at all that she was even sick.
There are babies who die, I know of two of them and there are all sorts of ages in between who die or who come so near death they are given last rights already.
The point that I am making is that death and dying are not solely things that affect old people or seniors, but death and dying affects anyone and everyone who is alive.
So, put away your misconceptions about old people dying and realize that people never ever die of old age, but rather they die of medical complications, of malpractice or gross negligence.
Or they die from lack of food or from other related things.
Bottom line is that you will no longer walk around with that misconception of those old-age myths of death and dying.
So, remember, the next time that you walk around fearing old age, remember that old age never killed any human being.
Old age has never killed even one human being.
Nobody can predict when someone will die, and that includes -doctors.
If a doctor has given you the "death sentence", remember that though he might be educated and experienced, he is not in charge of the situation.
Only God knows when people will die.
And this is proven over and over and over again.
You can pick up any newspaper and find death at any age.
Children, toddlers, teenagers and yes, old people also, they are capable of dying.
Yet, still the age doesn't matter.
We all know of people who are in their 80s and 90s who are quite alive and active -while others who might have been forty or fifty or even teenagers, have died.
So, enough with the misconceptions.
Old age does not equal death.
And that's a promise.
