Its the thought that I might just have to be like everyone else. Sleeping at the same time and the same number of hours as everyone else. <br /><br />For what is the struggle of a writer except to be the one that stands out? And how else to achieve that than being awake when everyone else is not? Especially when the writing is just not enough.dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07992406101222924092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18560288.post-49016198904587660472009-10-27T23:19:00.340+07:002009-10-27T23:19:00.340+07:00i&#39;m always envy of monks, of thier calm nature, reaction, attitude and everything and i think it need a lot of effort to get to where they are, so the least they deserve is that for thier brains to be safe and fine. i need thier everything cuz i&#39;m about to lose my mind while i&#39;m not at my worst age yet :)MuSe Spherehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01533307419295995833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18560288.post-59704872831964279232009-10-27T17:56:14.291+07:002009-10-27T17:56:14.291+07:00Hning, I have a grandfather at home and at 97 years, he&#39;s bedridden and he&#39;s too gone to recognize anyone in the house. Alzheimer&#39;s.<br /><br />I believe that taking care of one&#39;s self at a young age has something to do with not going through second childhood later on. As kids and teenagers, we live on potato chips, burgers, and coke,watch TV nonstop, stay up late regularly and it goes on till adulthood, until our bad habits catch up with us in middle age.<br /><br />We don&#39;t have to be nuns or monks to live an awareness-filled life in our old age. Incidentally I personally know a 90 year old who still plays a good game of tennis and he could easily wear out opponents 30 years younger than him. He&#39;s not a total vegetarian; he doesn&#39;t smoke or drink, and he&#39;s what I call an &quot;intellectual treat&quot; to be with. It&#39;s just a matter of making the right life choices and striking a balance in everything.coralbeadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00876133113364963855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18560288.post-67817873217353806712009-10-27T17:30:43.605+07:002009-10-27T17:30:43.605+07:00Hello there …<br />With all this going on around us and our persistence to keep up, this is a very interesting topic. I was whispering to myself the other day that ‘If I will not sleep some more hours per day, I am going to totally lose it.’ The problem is that I, and I believe we all, never learn. I might sacrifice my sleeping time for a good read, an interesting website, or even a captivating movie!<br /><br />The magic formula of being sane for an extended period of time needs two participants:<br />- The body by eating well, working out and sleeping.<br />- The mind by reading, thinking and meditating.<br /><br />Thank you for reminding us that we might be old sometime!<br /><br />Saad Al Dosarianeyeonsaudihttp://aneyeonsaudi.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
