You Might As Well Live

I remember watching an interview with a centenarian. Her secret of living a long life is “You just live.”

Scientists apparently agree. “Reaching 100 years of age may be more about attitude and adaptation than health history, UGA study finds”.

By the way, the title comes from a poem by Dorothy Parker when describing suicidal methods

You might as well live

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren’t lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
