When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,

And go to your God like a soldier.

Look at it like this...
HALF of the people that have ever lived on this planet...are living TODAY.
Many,many people thoughout history never lived long enough to grow old.
The way I see it, that puts old geezers in the TOP 50 % of society.
Its not a bad thing. Just feel fortunate you have lived so long. Most people havent.
It is better to live one day as a lion, than a thousand years as a lamb...
