But are you living?
We’re All Dying
Ironically, after last week’s mention of the Hadron Collider, the Father of the ‘God Particle’, Sir Peter Higgs, departed this mortal coil on Tuesday, going to meet the maker of his maker-thingy, dying at the grand old age of 94.
His theoretical musings in the 1960s - that there must be some sort of particle that makes up all of the stuff around us that we just can’t see - was discovered in 2012, earning him and his colleague the Nobel Prize. He was a lovely, humble man, too, by all accounts.
94 is a pretty good innings. If you don’t smoke and are in good health, you’ve got a one in eight chance of making this age.
Not that you’d want to. Your skin starts to thin and become less elastic at around age 40. Bones start to shrink and weaken at around age 30. Muscle mass starts to decline at around age 20. And so, according to the average age of this email list, we’re about 99.8% in the recliner phase (or maybe that’s ‘decliner’).
This begs the crucial question: What are you doing now, whilst you have your mobility, mental faculties, and continence… to live? We work to retire… and yet when we get there, most of us can’t enjoy it. That’s not a ‘don’t want to’; that’s a ‘can’t’.
We pay taxes upon taxes throughout our entire lives (to then pay a death duty on all the things we were taxed on) - so most of us won’t be able to afford to retire. What a bloody debacle.
So, really… what are you doing now, before you prepare for death, to actually live? And before you can’t afford to…
Sobering.
RIP Higgsey.
Anyway, in the meantime, have a great week, learn heaps, love leads, live a little and then pass it on.
