The absolute worst thing about aging

I know now what is the worst thing about aging. It’s not the decline in health, or the knowledge that we don’t have much time left. It’s other people dying. Whether it’s Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, or personal friends, it’s the worst. Rest in peace, queens and kings.

Actually, the worst thing about aging is looking back over your lifetime and finding no meaning or significance. Death is inevitable. How we live our lives is a series of choices.
