[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1580629, member: 27490"] I thought this was going to be about livestock mortality. I think mortality has always affected my life. I remember thinking that 50 was old. I remember sitting in a dorm room philosophizing about mortality. The consensus was that if we lived to be about 50 to 60, we would have satisfied our goals and dreams. At 68, my objectives and goal are drastically different. I don't have any monetary or possession goals. My main goal is contentment and peace. I treat myself to pleasures that I once did not. I have only one offspring. He is well positioned for a prosperous life, thus, I have no worries. I don't think long term. The world's problems are no longer a concern. I cannot contribute to their resolution and they probably will not cause me any grieve under my current life style. After I die, I am just going to be dead for an awful long time so I don't concern myself with leaving a legacy. [/QUOTE]
