Why are we so afraid of change of different experiences? Aging is not hell. It may teach us humility. It may give us the opportunity to question our priorities.

Ultimately all the human race will die. Over a short or a long span only learning will matter.
- aaron-lebo 10y agoHave you seen people needlessly suffer in old age? Stooped backs, sore joints, limited abilities, dementia. On the contrary, talking to my 82-year old professor who is sharper than most college kids but has constant health problems and I wish we could beat aging. You're right, we shouldn't be afraid of different experiences, but that doesn't also mean that fighting aging is bad. We could apply your arguments to all medical care, but we don't because there's no point in needlessly suffering.
