There is a quote from Dharmaraja in Mahabharata on this topic. When he was asked to explain the strangest thing on this earth, Dharmaraja replies that eventhough all of us know that death is unavoidable for anybody, every human being lives and behaves as though he alone is going to live forever. Old people start worrying about their life when they realise that their days are numbered.

The study, as reported by The Boston Globe, showed that peoples expectations for their lives dont seem to match up with their nations economic or health status. For example, nations with healthier populations and more financial resources might be expected to have fewer worries about aging, but thats not necessarily true. Concern about ageing was widespread in several European nations, including Sweden and Spain, as well as in Japan.
One country that stood out was Egypt. The folks there arent worried. I guess for a society that spawned the pyramids and created such an advanced ...more
