I can. It's how I judge atmospheric transparency. <g>
Saturno, do you want to be immortal?
Are there used different fingers to cover different sky objects? rhetoric question...
One longevity factor is lazyness...if you take really less risks in daily life, just because you are lazy, stay at home and watch news...you read about all people dying in
taking risks... but hey, no risk - no fun !!!
Heredity is well, in both meaning - meaningless...to me
My father's side and mother's side have different genetic ancestors, european and asian. My father is always taken as a Japanese and my mother and her father are
white and blond. I am taken as Swedish or French looking, had fair hair as child.
My genetic pool and genexpression can't tell me what illnesses or weaknesses I carry around. It's more coincidence which genes will be activate, some more dominant some
recessive...my father's mother had a very hard life living in wars, poverty and bad nutrition, gave birth to 12 children,
but many died, she had diabetes and could see without glasses better than me, she walked and
talked till she died in age of 97.
My mother's father was always healthy, rich for having a high lifestandard with good medical care and till he died suddenly by stroke in age of 57.
Since I will not be heir of any penny, there is no support either to have a better care in life.
Since very rich people die young too, there is no way you can trick death.
While I was going to highschool, I worked in a seniors home care, most of the people told me that they regret many choices in life, if they would be young again,
they would do things differently.
That was a good thing for me listening to their biographies, I came to the conclusion, that I don't want to sit in a wheelchair when I am old like maybe 78 and regret
my life.
Since then I made choices I would do all again, if I would be placed back in time, I don't regret anything significant about how my life takes me so far, if I die young, ahem,
like in my age now, I just go. Nothing holding me back. I achieved and tried what I thought would matter to me and my friends.
