Week 4 Biochemistry - Our Biochemistry and Cognition
The age old dilemma of seeking the "fountain of youth". I am often intrigued by the amount of money people spend for anti-aging products and surgeries, yet invest so little in their daily health practices that would support happy longevity. I have a painting of an old Asian lady smoking her opium pipe that a family friend painted over 40 years ago. When I look at her wrinkled face, I see a life lived well. Her eyes sparkle and her smile speaks of wisdom. In her culture, she has earned the right to smoke a little opium to ease the pains of a body that has lived a long time. Gravity eventually wins and we will all have wrinkles and parts sag just a bit. I think the point should be enjoying the life we live.
