Yeah. Which brings me to this point about immortality. Life experiences and our overall experience, whether it be just life experience, work experience, or what have you, and how does it affect your perception of living? What's your sense of that, Clarence, as you've gotten older?

Yeah, for our listening audience, we did a show on legacy, basically, with Dr. Barry Baines. What's your legacy, and what is it that you want to make sure that you at least share before you leave this world? What you've learned that you think will have impact going forward for your children, your grandchildren, what have you.

Yeah. Yeah. You know, that's interesting. You bring up a good point. It's like we carry on our names. So even if we, even if we're gone, our name is basically immortalized going, going forward one way or, or, or the other to a certain extent. That's what, what cemeteries are about too. You know, when you go to, when you go to a cemetery, you see the names of all these, these, these people.

You know, when you go to, when you go to a cemetery, you see the names of all these, these, these people.

And, um, It causes you to reflect when you're at a cemetery about, you know, who's there and what did they bring to this world, you know, before they passed on. And we've marked them, you know, with a gravestone or what have you. And it's an interesting concept when you think about that.

Exactly. Between those, those starts and ends.

By the way, we aren't the first ones to think about immortality. For instance, the classic of internal medicine that was written by the Yellow Emperor in the 4th century BCE. It's the oldest known treaty written in the Chinese language. In it, the Yellow Emperor wrote, people lived to 100 years.

Now, keep in mind that fourth century, you know, if you live to 100 years, that was a long, long, long, long time. People lived to 100 years and remained active and did not become decrepit. And then a colleague of of his Lao Tzu in the third century wrote, in the happy land that Lao Tzu describes, people were gently following nature without wrangling and strife.

Men and women wandered freely about in company. Marriage plans and betrothals were unknown. And not until the age of 100 did they die And disease and premature death were unknown. So it's like this has been going on a long, long time, this concept of living, just living a long, long time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And, you know, we as human beings are kind of unique, I guess. We have a sense of being able to think about the future, at least think about it, without knowing what the future necessarily will bring. But we also can reflect on the past. Right. Animals, you know, like my dog, they think only in the present. They don't have a sense of future and past. So for them, it's in the past. in the moment.

And maybe there's something healthy about that, where you just live for right now and just keep going. And perhaps that's why we really embrace our pets, because they have that sense and they bring that to us.
