The cycle of life

 Which phase of this cycle are you on?

Just born into this world?

Growing up and enjoying carefree childhood?

Getting educated be ready for the world?

Completed education and going to make your mark in this world?

Found a partner and settled down?

Got a home and started to have babies?

Kids growing up and driving you mad?

Getting worried about losing your job?

Lost your job?

Getting ready to retire?

Watching your kids become parents and growing old?

Having more and more health issues due to old age?

Suddenly found you have a terminal condition like cancer?

Going though physical pain and mental torture as you go through treatment and having a view of end of tunnel?


Personally, that last phase is scary to me, but I know it will be inevitable. Key is to live a full life the way I want it before I hit this last phase, so I can tell myself by then "no regrets! this is it, last leg liao, but I have done most if not all the things I need. Awesome life. Just have to grind through this last phase, hopefully with minimum pain and suffering."
