life -n- death

"Yet I, for one, believe that there is a complement to everything. With youth, comes age. With time, there is space. And with birth, there is death. There are constants that impact our lives that a pill cannot change. Aging remains a subtle, no doubt vital, part of our progression to this mortality. We spend all of our time trying to avoid death when, truth be told, we don't even know when death happens."

Ben Jones in the opinions column commenting on the apparent desire of most folks to live longer, if not forever young. (Source: The Daily Lobo, University of New Mexico, "Longer life - but do we want it?", volume 113, issue 162, (July 27-Aug 16,2009), page 4)
