What or whom we cannot renounce dominates us and we become its slaves. Life is like that. We cling to life and find it very hard to abandon it. For life we even accept the struggle. We are slaves to our desire to live.
But life will surely end. The inevitable ageing is the help to free ourselves from the slavery of the desire to live.
As we age, the functions and processes of our bodies that originally worked well weaken and break down one after another. Ageing is filled with difficulties and it comes no matter how hard we try to fool ourselves. But ageing has its own useful function, its own positive aspect. The suffering that comes with ageing gives comfort, and hope for the passing.
Ageing is the gift of life to make death not be a disappointment.
