We humans are somehow under the law of diminishing returns. For as we grow older we sort of “diminishes”. For when we get to a certain age or stage in life, most men start getting fatter, developing pot belly and start going bald, while women on the other hand, most of them start getting fatter too, less "attractive", loses some of their features and are moody sometimes. Forget about plastic surgery. It’s all make believe. And like the name implies it’s all “PLASTIC” and not natural.  Ageing is not only physical but also psychological. Just try and eat right and also exercise often to keep a bit of shape and be healthy.

And for those that want to live forever (apologies to J-zay & co), how will you feel and cope when you’re still around when all your mates have aged and pass away. You’ll feel odd among the younger and newer generation. You’ll be slow and unable to move with the pace of a newer generation (Check out the changes happening now, how much more in the next 50-100 years). And no matter what you do or try to do, it’ll never be like when you were with your mates, your friends or family. And the most devastating part of it all is that you’ll feel lonely and “isolated” without the people you knew, grew up with, worked with, rocked with and lived with after they might have all gone. Life, na turn by turn. Live yours, age gracefully and take a bow when it’s time to leave the “stage” for the next generation. But make sure, you live a good life…before you leave. Cherish every moment, your family and the people around you. For you’ve only got one life…
