Aging gracefully or is it not?
 

Aging gracefully or is it not?
 

It is interesting to note that we Ceylonese are aging fast and adding to the neglected lot.

With each day of adding to the lifetime, the standard of living goes down not by a fraction but by about 50%.

So it is better to kick the bucket early without being a pest to your family unless of course one is a BIG politician with a big family to maintain.
Global Age Watch has published the figures for over 99 countries.
                                                            Rank         Value
Ceylon
1. Global     Position                        36            57.3%
2. Income Security                           67           44.9%        
3. Health Status                               45           55.1%
4. Employment and Education      37           47.9%
5. Enabling Environment                24          74.6%     
 

It is interesting to note that it is below par in most of the Muslim countries where one believes the family values are the strongest.
Eg.
Afghanistan
Pakistan
Jordan
Bangladesh and India (which has a large population of Muslims).
Russia is as bad as India.
And China no better.
It is an interesting Study.  
Most of the Western countries fare very well.
For me New Zealand is one of the best to get older.
I know it by experience.
I used to care for 80 and 90 odds  (guys/girls who looked very robust).
I am at the moment doing some insightful research on how to become VERY young by almost 50% but when I discover it, I won't give the secrets to any Ceylonese-Sri-Lankan politician, even if they offer me the Post of Presidency.  
 

I am almost there please do not ask me how?
