Life asks us to mourn each passing incarnation of the self

From Mari Ruti’s The Call of Character pg 150:

In other words, if it is sometimes hard to discard the past because the pain of this past haunts our present, it can also be hard to give up a past that has been particularly rewarding; it can be hard to surrender what has brought a great deal of satisfaction. Yet if we are to give fresh editions of ourselves a chance, we must find a way of doing so. Life asks us to mourn each passing incarnation of the self. This amounts to a lifetime of mourning. There will always be regrets and misgivings. We tend to get nostalgic about parts of our past that made us happy. And we tend to grieve the loss of certain opportunities: we lament having made this choice rather than that, of having taken this turn rather than that. But most of all, we mourn those aspects of ourselves that we are forced to renounce because they have become redundant. Sometimes our mourning is so intense that we cannot bring it to a timely conclusion but instead form melancholy attachments to dimensions of ourselves that are largely obsolete.

Digital devices may help ward off cognitive decline in older people

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2476410-digital-devices-may-help-ward-off-cognitive-decline-in-older-people/

Dr Dean Burnett explores the curious notion that devices and screens may actually prevent 'brain rot' in the older generations.

Whoa. I have just seen a Men's Health feature detailing a workout by a well known hunting 'tv personality', hyping the fact that he is 51.

Guessing he isn't plant-based as that really is not a good 51 - not compared to vegans eating a well researched diet, anyway. I saw this time and time again in healthcare settings right down to blood results.

I'm not sure of the cause;

- the cascade of endotoxins triggering inflammation and stressed immune reactions after eating animals products
- growth hormones injected into animals which get killed
- stress and fear chemicals produced before and during the killing
- the carbon monoxide used to fake a fresh colour rather than the pallor of real deaths
- digestion animal body tumours ...

Whatever it is, meat eaters certainly pay a high price for their addiction to a socially conditioned cruelty and exploitation based eating regime.

Kindness is not made easy by societies based on wars, greed, and exploitation, but it can bring definite rewards slowing the conveyor belt to heart disease, diabetes and associated amputations, erectile dysfunction, vascular dementia, and death.
