Hi, Anum. I liked your article aout getting older. Of course, death eventually comes to every living organzim on the plantet. It is the natural way of life - a beginning, accomplishment, an ending. Time expands from the moment we are born, until our clock stops, but time continues, nonetheless. I like to think of the analogy, we floated around the cosmos for billions of year, and by an unlikely union of two random individuals we came into existence. So, in the end, we return to the universe. Afterall, we have all been created by the same stardust. As a former soldier who served on battlefields, i do not fear death. I look upon finality as a transition to the place from which I came. Some would say returning to God. Others would say we are returning to nothingness. Then there are those that believe we will return in another form. I like the idea of floating around for another couple of billion years to live again. It's these thoughts that comfort me in my old age. Regards.
