Deficiency

Growing old is mandatory, that is, getting hard of hearing, eyesight is not as sharp as they used to be, long-hour shopping brings abit of ache to the back and etc etc. I have never been afraid of growing old physically but these days the thought of being older by the day and not being able to do the things which used to be done easily worries me.

Somehow there is this urge in me that there are so many things in this world waiting for me to explore and experience, therefore 'physical deficiency' will also mean that i will get to see less and perhaps even miss out some incredible sights or happenings. Undeniably, i have done alot of things that perhaps many of my age may not have even thought of doing. It is the fact that i have done so much walking and touring these couple of years which sents a message across my brains to wanting more(talk about greediness) and somehow i am still unsatisfied.

Pisces are known to be sacrificial for others...perhaps i should have been a nurse who is living by the edge at the frontline of the Afghanistan wartorn zone or feeding an African child whose parents have forsaken him/her...possible solution in preventing my further 'enhancement' of possible dementia.

Time and tide waits for no man is a notion that i live by since my teen days and i still live by it, even though it is beyond my means to accomplish everything on a daily basis. What is considered a complete life? What is it that i should be seeking now at this juncture of my life is something that still puzzles me...
