People are panicking
Because of Corona Virus
Comparing with death
Young people panic more
That even it’s cured
The patient will lose 10%-30% lung function
But you
Lose about 30% hearing ability by age 40-50
About 50% taste buds by age 50-60
And probably
You already lost more than 30% of your eye sight in your elementary school
We got chronic stomach problem
Migraine
Rhinitis
Urinary Tract Infection
Herpes
We learned through age
How to get alone with our body parts
Which are not fully functioning
And we are quicker and quicker
To get use to a new change
Death is not a moment
It is a long process since we are born
Every moment we lose something
Aging
It means slowly being damaged
And think of “disable” people
They are just with some body parts different from the majority
But everyone may have a special body part
I, have a heart with abnormal vessels
It means higher risk
Of getting heart attack
I believe
we are all at somewhere of a spectrum of disability
And we are at somewhere of a spectrum
Of death
The loss of part of lung function
Will accelerate your speed to approach death
But a lot of other things
Doing the same
So why fear
I’m not saying we should just catch any disease
A sudden acceleration is pain
And big trouble for others
But thinking of your life
Don’t forget
You are always slowly dying
Why fear
Compare this moment with your past
Are you regret
Are you in a good direction
Are you happier than before
To grow up
Is to lose
But your experience
Make them worth
