They do complain quite a bit, but their level of complaint pales by comparison to the horror of their situation. I mean do you realize what awaits us all?
Yes, but why worry about the inevitable? Enjoy life to the fullest. Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!
I agree. Worrying about death isn't going to make it go away.
I wasn't really talking about death, but rather those several years of misery, pain, and helplessness that typically precede it. And I agree that one should keep a stiff upper lip and all that, but my point was just that the elderly are actually pretty tough for only complaining a little bit in the face of a really horrific situation.
