The class participated in a exercise on the essay The Way We Age Now. We had to answer different questions about the essay and tell our opinion. In the first step, I explained that everyone loses their teeth no matter how much you take care of them. In the same sense as dying. Everyone dies no matter how well someone takes care of their body.
In the second step I discussed that everyone in this world, whether they like it or not, ages and eventually dies. You start out as a baby, grow into a young adult, and then grow old and brittle. It does not matter how well you take care of yourself because it is the process of life. It is supposed to happen. We grow old and die and that is the fact of life.
In the next step I clarified that if we had no proof of growing old and dying, then losing teeth might not be true. Maybe, the more you took care of your whole body the stronger and healthier it would get. What is the reality of dying never happened?
In the final step I explained that if you accept the fact that not only you age, but that everyone ages, your life will be fine and you can make the most your days here on earth. Know that you will someday die, puts life into perspective for people. You will not only live life to the fullest, you will be the best you can be while your still living. It is like accepting the fact that someday your pet dog is going to die. You do not really think about it while the pet is still alive. You simply take care and love the pet while it is still living. Same as yourself, you make the most of life until you do not have it anymore.
