Few days ago, we saw from television that one village in Guangdong Province in China was regarded a long-life village. Villagers in average can live up to eighty years or nighty years or even more. The reason they can live long is due to the fresh air, but most importantly they eat more green vegetables than meat. As a consequence, they have little chance to get illness and live very healthily all their life.
In this village, there is an old man of one hundred and six year old, wife dead. He thinks he lives too long and wishes, to die, but death so far still does not fall upon him. He may need someone to take care of him basically, but he still can handle his own life in small things.
As matter of fact, if an old person, who cannot handle his life by himself, it would not be happy for him to live in this world. He will live like a prisoner in a jail.
Nowadays, the medical knowledge is so progressive, but still there is no medicine which can cure people form death. Born and die is the eternal cycle for every human. No one can escape from its cycle.
We desire to live. It is the human desire, but it must be based on condition that we must be able to take care of ourself failing which life will be meaningless.
