I guess as we get older, our idea of what young is changes. The average lifespan for men in this country is 76. Worldwide it's 71. I try to look at thing objectively and I always say that if you make it to 80, you've done well. Of course there are a few people that beat the odds an live well into their 80s, 90s and even 100s, but they are the exceptions. People dying at 77 is the norm.
I supposed that at this stage in life it's comforting for many of us to think that 76 or 77 is too young to die, but........
