Advances in medicine and technology are great and all
But keeping someone who's old and led a full life alive when they're sick and in pain just has always seemed the opposite of humane to me
I mean, it's great for people who are younger and still have decades ahead of them to give them a real chance at life and all
But then you've got people who are older that would rather just go and pretty much can't
And usually it's because other family don't want to let them go or something
I mean, think about it
One day technology will be even greater(assuming the world survives that long)
People will be living to be like, 150 or 200 or 300 years old and grizzled or something like that, hooked up to a machine keeping us all alive when we don't want to be anymore or we've gone totall senile, and it doesn't really sound so great anymore
And I don't mean like, some 90 who's still running marathon's or is active and happy
I mean like strapped to a medical bed somewhere old, tired, and sick that would've otherwise died by that age or state of health were it not for those leaps in medicine and technology
Year of the RoosterNeat, organized, alert, perfectionist, scientific, responsible.
Can be critical, egotistical, rough, opinionated.
When it rains it pours
When the floodgates open
Brace your shores
That pressure don't care when it breaks your doors
Say "it's all you can take"
Better take some more
Cuz I know what it's like to test faith
Had my shoulders pressed with that weight
Stood up strong in spite of that hate
Night gets darkest right before dawn
What don't kill you makes you more strong
And I been waiting for it so long
