24. Yes, life is a fatal condition where the process of dying is simply a matter of time.
We have the never-ending, always growing list of this is bad for us, this will kill us, be afraid and worried about everything. It does become wearying after awhile.

I was a kid when I think it was Paul Harvey who I heard say about those who were religiously scrupulous in avoiding each and every thing that might be in any way harmful to them, how they would feel foolish one day when they would be laying in bed "dying of nothing".
