At my age I often wonder if it even matters. The future looks so bleak.
I can’t reproduce. I can work, but I'm not a strong young man any more.
I don't think I could fight off one young thug let alone a gang of them. Without a weapon.
I’m healthy for my age, (and I still can walk miles and carry a 20 lb pack), maybe even more healthy than those many years younger than me today.
but being in my 70’s I don’t have much more than knowledge to offer to my sprouts.
so surviving, (ingrained in me since my youth) , is in my nature, but,
I sometimes wonder why?
what will it get me?
