They the young feel invincible and don’t worry about their health. When I look back (yes I’m much older) I can relate. In my early twenties I had an appendix scare. I was told if I had delayed surgery even by a few hours, my appendix would have ruptured, causing possibly life threatening complications. I took the news with a grain of salt, because I was fine. In my middle years I don’t think I worried too much about my health. When I had a few cancer scares, my invincibility vanished. My sense of vulnerability expanded as I witnessed the natural passing of my parents and other relatives. So now, I constantly worry about how long my mental clarity and general health will hold out. Consistent aches and pains in many places of my body, along with sudden intolerance for caffeine and fatty foods doesn’t help my worry about health. The good side is I appreciate each day more. I don’t procrastinate as much. I prioritize the important things, like family and my work (writing). Time to go hug my wife.
