Is This Body Mine?

I have long believed that aging was suffering, an incessant sequence of slaps in the face from life.
I have long believed that those who let themselves be caught up in this returning wave lacked the enthusiasm to hold on to the sands of the shore. Stunned, I discovered this evening that this is not the case.

Like an unexpected punchline to a hitherto agreed-upon joke.
I had completely hidden — from the outside, it was inaccessible to me — the dis-appropriation of the aging body, I feel more and more that if this body is mine, this body is not me.

Also, if it becomes colored as time passes, it’s not as sad as I might have thought.
