Most people look at ageing as a disease. They do. They have prescriptions and places where you go to eradicate it.
The older you get, the less physically and mentally robust you become.

Life expectancy in many parts of Africa can be something around the age of thirty five to thirty eight. I mean you're very fortunate if you live to that age. In fact when I went to Uganda for the first time one of the things that occurred to me was that I saw very few elderly people.
Old age is not a disease - it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
All diseases run into one, old age.
