Aging

There’s no advantage to aging, none, it just dying by degrees, on a glacial time table.

There is no wisdom gained, in fact, so many people become increasingly stupid with age, especially those of a conservative nature. More set in their ways, with even less logic. There is no contentment, as friends die before you at an alarming rate. There is just anxiety, at what's the next decrepitude to befall you.

Gone is the confidence in forever.

Gone is the illusion of time to spare.

That grease patch you hit at 25 years old that has propelled you towards your demise at an ever increasing rate of speed becomes even more apparent year by year.

And if you haven't lived your life to your utmost potential, there is the regret, that only death is going to put right.

Time is precious and with time you come to realise it is in short supply.

And all the while you are becoming more and more feeble with which to battle life's injustices.

And you become invisible.

Oh yes aging, when is someone going to cure it?
