Living

I'm all for it,living that is, but as people age and their friends and family began to die each death feels like another piece of the person that you are is lost,or at least that's how it feels to me. The man in today's post lives in India and is possibly the oldest living person in the world but his life is and always has been so austere as to seem like the "alive" part of his life is missing. He claims his longevity is due to celibacy,food with no spices and hours of daily yoga. He also says anything in life can be achieved through discipline and I tend to agree with that statement but not when it comes to giving up the very things that make life worth living but I must admit if Guinness World Records verifies his age to be 120 he has definitely aged well.
