So with some good counselling you'd be ready to die today?

What a weird take.

I am 33, so no. Why are you misinterpreting what I am saying intentionally?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because everything points to the fact that when you are 80, if you are in good health you don't just like "want to die" all of a sudden.

I tried to put you in the seat of someone healthy that, according you if I understand correctly, should get some 'death counselling ' just because of a number, not something real.

It just seems so very bizarre this whole idea of yours!

[–] RobertOwnageJunior@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, it isn't 'bizarre' and it isn't an idea. It's reality. You calling it 'a number' is the only thing that's bizarre.

So if you're 90 but jumping around like you're 33, what should you do?

Occupy living room and scarce ressources from young people, I suppose.

Alternatively, we could ask someone that's 90 and feels like 30.
