The Aging Lifecycle is Backwards!

I had just finished my goal setting exercise for 2007 when I received an email from my sister Andrea that tipped it all completely upside down. Or in this case back to front.

I was so bemused with her email that I wanted to share it with you.

“I think the life cycle is all backwards – you should die first, start out dead and get it out of the way.

Then you wake up in a nursing home, feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too fit and healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.

You work for 40 years until you are young enough to enjoy your retirement.

You drink alcohol, you party, you travel, you’re generally into everything, and then you get ready for high school. You get to know the opposite sex for the first time, play loud music, get into sport, have heaps of friends.

You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a baby.

Then you spend your last nine months floating peacefully with luxuries like central heating, spa, room service on tap, larger quarters every day, and finally …… you finish off as an orgasm! 

I rest my case!”

So there you have it. Not being one to be dictated to by outdated social conventions, I am going to have to give the remaining years some serious reconsideration. Not so sure how my children may react!  But hey
