I think I want to die young. It's not that I'm jaded or that I have any intentions of ending my life anytime soon, it's just that I don't want to go through the life of an elderly. I don't want to be slow. I might be slow in actions now but at least this is by choice. I don't want to be slow because I can't be fast. I think by then, I will not be able to even stand myself. I don't want to be old and still trying or pretending to be strong and supportive of myself. I think those old people try too hard to prove to the world and people out there that they are still useful or will not be a burden to anyone. I don't want to be a homely elderly who stays at home most of the time because I have nowhere to go, because no one wants to bring me out or because I will be an obstruction to others. But, I really want to know if those old people who still go out together as couple are still as loving as they were 60 years ago. Are they together because of committment and obligations or is it because the love between them is still there? How many of them are truly still together because they want to, not because they have to keep the family intact? No matter, I really cannot think of any advantages of being old. I want to die young. All influential and rock stars die young. Elvis Presley, Theresa Teng, Bruce Lee, Leslie Cheung and the list goes on. It is always better to leave when you are at peak. Let the memories about you stay at the best, never let others know of your downslide. That is the novelty of dying young.
