Age.

It is just a number. Not only when it is greater than a numerical value, but also whatever its value is.

But, it is a qualifying number, no less. Of course it is not the only or the most important qualifying variable in a set of variables. But it does have a value to be taken into account in evaluating the equation.

And wishing the number to be something else than what it is, isn't going to be helpful in living well.

Illness.

We all have to endure some kind of illness, at sometime. It is inevitable. The world is too complicated a place to hope to be immune against unknown, invisible enemies.

But, once we are infected, we struggle and fight back, thanks to our all-intelligent immune system, and after a period of enduring, we come out stronger than before.

And isn't that, basically, the plot of our whole life?
