But if you CAN enjoy life and live ten more years, what's wrong with going for that?

Skinny people die of strokes all the time, but most of the time it's due to arterial blockage that
can be detected beforehand and treated. I'm not fat and had 2 arteries 99% blocked, I just don't
break down cholesterol. But I checked it out in time, and decided to do something about it. No one
HAS todo it. It's a personal choice. I have a gorgeous and smart wife, cool, intelligent children,
an amazing job, and enough bread to more than satisfy my material wants. What's not to enjoy? Sure,
I could get hit by a car crossing the street. I could enhance my chances by crossing the autobahn
at rush hour, too. I still cross streets. I just choose to avoid crossing the autobahn on foot
at rush hour, that's all.
