CAN WE GO BACK?
Wednesday May 31, 2017
Can’t turn back the clock, can we? I see advertisements from every kind of snake-oil salesmen offering ‘new ways of living’ that usually involve paying some large fee to someone, recurring monthly credit card charges …
What are they marketing?
Each ‘Ponce de Leon’ selling their fountain of youth – they’ll back-track your aging, reverse all negative effects of all our bad eating, failure to exercise, those hours in the sun without sunscreen, all those years consuming wrong fats and harmful preservatives – yes, we’ll turn back the clock.
Some medical experts who aren’t milking our wallets will confirm certain activities, treatments and lifestyle changes WILL slow the aging process, and some WILL reverse ill effects on heart and other tissues. All lovely wishful thinking … but mostly these things collectively don’t reverse anything. What’s done is done. We CAN do things differently, but we CAN’T undo very much …
Or do same rules apply when we choose not to continue living by all those mistakes we’ve made over decades? Can we reverse those, change our behavior, our attitude, our relationships, how we handle situations, problems, money?
