On that I agree a lot. Most people are healthy when young, but they are afraid of getting sick, or of doing something that might hurt them, cripple them, or kill them. I knew a lot of people like that especially between the age of 18 and 25, I never could understand the fear people, some friends had of doing something.

I had sever hypothermia as a kid, contracted on a long hike and camp excursion. I still loved to hike and camp even after that event, an individual that was on the same hike and camp outing let the fear destroy his joy of hiking and camping, because it could have been them the helicopter was picking up and not me. Stupid really but people are people.

I am glad for all the experiences I had growing up and as an adult. My health is certainly not what it used to be, but I do not let it interfere much with my life. I could see doctors, chase cures, see therapist, but in the I may be a tiny bit healthier, would I have anything to live on after paying off medical debt? What is 5 to 10 or 20 years more worth? How much healthier would I be?

As long as a person does not stop living there are always things to to do no matter ones health level, that make living still fun and enjoyable.
