One stop wellness centre

This is another good thing in our midst. Centres to help the oldies get well and be well. I was looking at this pic of several oldies in the Straits Times. They all looked at least 70s or 80s. They looked well for their age and that is about all. I am not looking for happiness or contentment in their faces. All I was looking for is a little peacefulness and tranquility, and a little life to show that they are living their lives. All the faces looked lost. Anyone still looking forward to living in their 80s and 90s, better think twice, thrice. Up to a point, living, being alive, can be meaningless. Sad to say, they all looked like zombies. Do not pray to have long lives. Live a good life at whatever age and depart when nature calls.

God will call us when its time. But we never know when God will call.

Better prepared ourselves to have a meaningful retirement life.

that's true. i am looking at the scenario when 30% of each cohort live to 80 or 90. it is going to be a very strange with all the oldies hanging around.

hopefully god is kind and spare the people the dilemma.

Don't alway say God is this or that. Or that God has to be this or that. It's really unfair won't you think, Red Bean?

God may be all present & powerful. He may be involved in the grand scheme of things from celestial to earthy to individual lives.

But God is no nanny nor a nitpick to overrule an individual's will & choice la.

haha, it is only human to hope that goodness will come from god. it is just like people putting all the blame on satan for all the evil and wicked things committed by man.

actually satan is a poor bugger that is being blamed for every single bad things that happened.

We'll say:
Is it really "human" to do as U said? We don't think so. Never forget - you are only a vegetable. At best, a legume. You're only a bean. ;-(
