Longevity

[zerostao]

For a long long time. 

So yeah, a little bird chirped to me there is talk about TDB having a core of an older crowd.

I chirped back to that little bird, stick around, you ain't seen nothing yet.

 

Daoist Longevity Practices is definitely a thing. 

 

I'm sure talk will get around to Li Ching-Yuen.

 

Let's start the thread by looking at DVD

 

That's right  Dick van Dyke looks at his 100 years, and he provides so many examples, lessons, thoughts, on longevity.

 

 

If we imagine someone to have a positive outlook, ability to brighten up other's day, 

Relaxed physicality, ( if you need to see what song/sung looks like, look no further)

Staying active, still goes to gym three times a week, to avoid stiffening up. 

And a sense of humor and a warm caring heart.

This is how one gets Longevity.

Yes, he is rich and that helps I'm sure.

 But being rich is not what defines him.

恒 (Héng) : Perseverance, Persistence, Enduring Constancy.  One of the "virtues" deeply embedded in taoism.

Thank You  Taomeow for sharing that.

 

 

Endeavor to persevere.

Resilient rhymes with resistant.

No one is accusing me of "sanity" & I ain't everyone's cup of tea either. And a former mod team/admin once labeled me a 'cowboy'

Well, the similarities I have in common with Clint likely end somewhere around there 

 

Spoiler

Me and Taomeow are still enduring here on TDB, and also other great members here, keep on keeping on.

That mod team, admin I mentioned, 

I miss them. M sure they are faring well, elsewhere 

 

This thread is about keeping on keeping on. And doing it well.

 

So dear bums, many of you in your youth, or arriving at some number, that may be messing a little with your mind,,

Compare and contrast Dick and Clint. Both are still kicking.

 

This thread gonna run like the Energizer bunny.

Next month I will be sixty.  That´s not an age that gives me bragging rights among my friendship group of "old gays" in Palm Springs, but I´m proud anyways.  I´ve continued.  I´m here so I belong here -- who can say otherwise?  Maybe someday I´ll belong somewhere else, but that will be a different story.

I didn’t realize you were so young!

Speaking of longevity, I´m reminded of the many profiles I´ve read featuring happy centenarians who drink, smoke, cuss, and just generally live life on their own terms.  They´re not afraid to get their claws out on occasion, when situations warrant.  More than kombucha and bubble baths, this may be the key to a long life.

Loving oneself is the key to a fully functional human format

104 year old woman:  "Dr Pepper is good it has sugar in it."

 

104 year old woman:  "Two doctors have told me if I drink it I'll die."

 

104 year old woman:  "But they died first."

Kombucha is good, but bubble baths are quite harmful (toxic chemicals).   

 

Getting one's claws out when the situation warrants it is IMO healthier than being addicted to the drug peddled heavier than any other -- Repressitol.    All things in moderation...
