my feeds are full of news of the death of Wendell Berry who I have absolutely no relationship to but this quote is relevant to our interests
Beware the machinery of longevity. When a man’s life is over the decent thing is for him to die. The forest does not withhold itself from death.

When I was 17, I thought it would be great to live forever, even though my life at the time was not especially happy. But now that I’m over 50, I have trouble understanding how people can make it to my age or older without at least becoming somewhat comfortable with the prospect of death.
