> If you stop striving towards goals, you die. Your body and mind fall apart.

This simply isn't true, Walter, and you know it

[WalterBright]

Are you sure about that? It's well known that there are spikes in deaths among older people:

1. after retirement

2. after the 70th, 80th, and 90th birthdays

3. after a family event that had been long anticipated

and that "keeping active" is necessary to keep living.

One's body falls apart without regular exercise, and the mind does, too.
